We're up to number 10 in Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas, somehow. Hey,December, slow down!!!
Making today's tag was really special for me, because my mom, who's visiting for the weekend, played along, too! This is her first foray into Tim's style of paper crafting, and she's already got the hang of it. I have a lot of great memories of Mom doing various craft projects when I was a kid, so being able to share this experience with her now was truly awesome.
Here she is, working that Vagabond:
And here's a fuzzy, grainy photo of the two of us with our finished tags. Can you believe my mom has never done this kind of crafting before?! She's a natural!
I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! Don't forget to stop by Tim's blog and soak up some inspiration!
Hugs,
Linda

Lovely tags ladies; I am glad you had the opportunity to share the experience! My mom is about 6000 miles away so opportunities to do that do not happen very often!
Oooh thank you for sharing those lovely pictures of your mum and yourself. So great to craft together. Both the tags are just brilliant. Have a very happy weekend.

I too get my love of craft from my mum and though I could never see us sitting and playing together, we are in different counties for a start, but she gave me a truly precious gift
