I love the fabric gift bags – so many ideas come to mind. I already use everyday items like cloth napkins, scarves, etc. to wrap gifts I give.

Wow – so glad that Made With Hugs and Kisses posted about your blog! I’m looking forward to making some really awesome Christmas gifts!
So far, my favorite project has been the key-ring project. Such a simple item to make but can turn out extravagant based upon your ribbon choices and I really liked the advent tree too!
Adorbs on the sweet holiday pot holders. Got lots of left over holiday scrappies from last year and this one.

What a successful, fun first week! I am really looking forward to this coming line-up! I loved all of last week’s projects, but the first one I’ll make is the potholders for a friend’s gift. I have a ton of holiday scraps that can be put to good use for this one!
I love Pam’s Xmas gift bags!!!

HI Deby, Thank you so much for this great project. I can imagine it is a lot of work for you guys, but the results are amazing. I ´d love to read the new project each day and honestly I am not sure, how I will survive the weekend without new projects 😉
I love all of the projects so far, but in case of the enviromental thought I ´d like the re-usable Christmas gift wrappings of Pam the most.
Looking forward to read more next week.
Take care,
Jessi
