this totally took forever.
i like making gifts for people. sometimes that means a card. sometimes it means i sat for hours and thoughtfully created something that would be oh-so-perfect for that one special person. most of the time people really appreciate the sentiment and can tell that i’ve put a lot of love in what i’m presenting to them. and then there are those occasions when you’re not sure if it really “clicked” for that person. you, too, right? and let’s just be totally honest…that kinda sucks a little. so i had to chuckle when i got jenny’s email describing blog comments and entries she has come across of people who sometimes feel a little unappreciated. she jokingly mentioned how these labels can “say what you want to {but probably shouldn’t}…
sassy, right?
woven ribbons: fait avec amour; this took forever: $4.00/4 labels

you can never have too many.
alright all you crafty folks. here’s a quick little post that you surely will understand and be able to relate to. one day i was chatting with a friend as he was looking through a catalog. he glanced over at me and said that he loved looking at it because it had equipment that was related to his work so it made him happy. he tried to relate it to how girls enjoy fashion catalogs of bags and shoes. but i had to interject and share with him that i was more of a tools and supplies kinda shopper. paper. pens. wrapping. and how about these {pink & silver embroidery scissors: $10.00/each}…
that’s right. scissors. i have regular scissors. i have a pair of handmade scissors {similar to these – i got mine here}. you know, ones just for cutting ribbon or just for cutting paper. ones to slice through fabric. and, of course, when i started my first embroidery project with a kit i had purchased from sublime stitching, i had to get an appropriate pair for that craft. right? i have this pair {wicked step scissors: $12.50}…
but i want the newest pair of owl scissors {$22.50} that’s been added to the shop…
and then there’s always these gold dragon scissors {$13.50}…
come on. you feel me, right? i say one can never have too many tools!
