Little Gift Tags for You

I had planned to ring in the new month in style.* I wanted to have my mantle decorated all merry-like and share the happy pictures. However, yesterday was one of those days. You know the ones. The kind of day that really should just be spent napping, snacking, and watching old movies. But I ignored the day's obvious destiny, and mistakenly got out of bed. Bad move. Every little thing went wrong, the culmination of which was when the fully decorated mantle came crashing to the tile floor. There wasn't even any cussing left in me by that point. I just sighed, drooped my shoulders, and began cleaning up all the very many tiny bits of shattered glass. I know, pitiful. 

But today is new day! And I have a feeling its gonna be a good one. The fact that the sun is shining beautifully is icing on what's sure to be good-day cake. And what better way to celebrate a good day than with presents? And you're surely gonna need some adorable gift tags for those presents, 

so here you go. . .

I like to print them on adhesive paper so I can use them like stickers.

I hope none of you are having one of  those days. 

And if you are, I hope tomorrow is better.

*If you wanna make God laugh, tell Him your plans.

Scenes from Today's Table. . .

Everything was all sunshine and roses 'til the alligator got his accordion back.

Today's Table (In the Works)

It's looking mighty buggy on the table today.

There's a bat, an alligator, and donkey in there too.

Zoee Bug is sold out now. . .

. . .and so is her friend Zora.

I'm still happy to make them similar-but-different for you, with changes in coloring. (I think they'd look especially merry with peppermint-striped horns.) I always like it when people request color changes to existing designs, then I get to see what they'd look like too. And sometimes I get to do 

something I'd not normally do (like use purple).

We've had company for the past week, and amidst existing orders and general merriment have been too busy to finish any new designs. We do have some in the works though. Speaking of which, I'd better get back to it. I tried leaving everything out on the table last night, all Elves and the Shoemaker like, but they were still all here in varying states of undoneness when I got up this morning.
I guess elves don't like mince meat pie any more than I do.
