Wow Jan, thanks for all of that. I don't follow any manufacturers, I rarely even look at Tim's blog. I guess I'm not into all that 'stuff' he uses on his items. Maybe I prefer my things to be less lumpy! lol

This is a MUST SEE blog post: My friend Amy over at Plucking Daisies (http://pluckingdaisies.com/the-elf-on-the-shelf-gets-crafty/#comment-6450) has created a Extremely fun picture demonstration of creating a tag. Amy is not an employee or even design team member...just one super creative lady who loves to share a smile with others! Enjoy.
