THREE LITTLE TAGS - DIDN'T GO TO MARKET!

Hello to you mes blog amies - I hope you are all well and have had at least some crafty time this weekend.  It's not really sun worshipping weather is it - so it could be time for crafting instead.  It's hubby's birthday today - yay!! - he has reached the meteoric age of 65 despite being married to moi!  Does that mean I am married to an OAP or ........ as it said on Loose Women the other day - is he still middle-aged (at least for a few more years).   Anyway he is only as old as he feels!!  I am taking him out to lunch, there's a nice little inn beside the River Trent not far from us and they have lurvely food - yum yum!

I would like to say hello to my new follower - thank you so much for joining in, even though you might regret it after seeing how much I love waffling lol!!!   I am telling you all today that I have my 'procedure' at the dentist on Wednesday.  He is going to do a tooth at the front and is going to drill and rod it!  I, needless to say, didn't ask any more because this is my second phobia (sorry to my blog follower Dr Jaya - you are lovely), my first being those eight-legged beasties of course.   I am telling you this again because I shall be almost useless on Tuesday and totally useless on Wednesday.  Nothing new then!   Anyway back to my post!

I am posting the three tags I made for hubby's birthday presents - they aren't too feminine and I know he likes them because he said so when he took the piccies.  Naturally he has no idea that they will be on his gifts, 'cos I normally forget to make any tags for them!  Ooops. 

I cut the tags out of Kraft card and covered the top half of each one with a variety of papers from Kanban and Joanna Sheen.  I stamped the lower half of each with La Blanche stamps.   My embellishments included FLOWERS (something beginning with F*), hessian, raffia, twine, buttons, brads and ticket tags.
