Stamp it, cut it, bake it, make it, paint it, stick it, sew and wear it. Snap it, sketch it, pin it, write it, play it, ply it, stop: re-write it. Try it, test it, learn it, link it, plan it, think it, pen and ink it. Share it, give it, show it, grow it, keep it, wrap it, pack and send it.

Giant Gift Tag
I am currently living out of suitcases, waiting to move into our own place, and have very limited supplies, most of which are in storage in a basement 40km away. At the weekend I had to make a card for a friend's birthday. I realised I didn't even have enough material to make a card: so I had to think, think, think! We were taking a bottle of wine, so I thought perhaps a gift tag, tied around the neck of the bottle, would suffice. I enlarged the original idea and made it 4 inches high, large enough to stand in very well for a card. I cannibalised an old Hallmark card, stole some string from the garden, and voila! The stylish yet simple giant gift tag:
Baby, Baby
One of my closest friends is having a baby soon. Her husband is American so they are having a baby shower, something about which I have absolutely no information, experience, knowledge...! So I turn to my trusty craft collection, only to find that I have absolutely no baby craft material! Time to be resourceful...
An envelope and detail:
A card of course, and a gift bag:
Hope the parents-to-be like them!
