DIY gift tags :: ink and post

MORGAN: If you are lucky enough to live in a city with Trader Joe's, you can easily make these darling gift tags yourself from their paper holiday grocery bags! Great idea to attach to some homemade goodies, from Ink and Post!

MORGAN: If we are going to talk about do-it-yourself, handmade gifts this week, I would be remiss to not mention the awesome 18 DAYS SERIES going on over at Creature Comforts! For 18 days, you can find fabulous holiday freebies and step-by-step tutorials for all kinds of holiday goodies from printable gift tags to easy handmade necklaces (such a cute gift!)

CARRIE: I posted about the beautiful Egg Press 2010 calendar awhile back, but I can't resist going back for more Egg Press goodness. Their holiday cards are so playful and well done. Love them!
