We're finding the different ways to reuse paper bags. Yesterday, it was all about plain paper bags.

Paper Bags
Happy Monday Everybody! I'm pretty sure your days are getting busier as Christmas approaches and I want to say thank you for still finding the time to visit my blog!
It talks to you, in fact it orders you around --
in a good way of course!
I love the lines "So reuse it. Reincarnate it. Re-imagine it."
The future of this bag rests in your hands!

WISHmas Tree
This week on blah to Tada!, I crafted some greeting cards and gift tags using materials from past Christmases. Today, I'll do the same but instead of just one blah, I've got three to make one exciting Tada!
The first blah are these Christmas cards I accumulated through the years. After they holidays, I store them in a plastic box, never to be seen again...that's the blah of this blah.
These cards were lovingly sent with very meaningful wishes inside. I thought, "Why not keep these good wishes until future Christmases or pass them on to others?".
Then I was watching the Martha Stewart Show where they demonstrated how to make Christmas trees out of magazines:

It was a craft that was right up my alley -- hey, it's totally blah to Tada! You'll find the instructions here.
I glued the circles on the tree (with some hearts), added the greeting from the Christmas card and topped it with a foil star.
Tada! A WISH-mas tree I can display for years to come or give as a gift to a nice family on my list.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Gift Wrap to Gift Tag
Today's project makes use of the little sheets of gift wrap left over from wrapping presents. You can also keep this in mind for all the paper on Christmas morning, when the gifts have been opened.
Pick a character from the gift wrap, glue it on the cardboard and allow it to dry. Then cut around the cardboard.

Two In One Special
I'm in full Christmas card writing mode! My desk has everything I need -- colored pens, greeting cards, envelopes ready to be addressed as Christmas carols play in the background. This year, I'm giving out a mix of cards -- the boxed variety and some that I made myself. After all, what's Christmas at my house without some blah to Tada!?
I was inspired by this pretty-patterned tissue paper that was used as a liner for one of the gifts I received last year. It reminded me a lot of origami paper and that got me thinking, "Why not make some origami?"

A Card to Wish You Good Cheer
Hi and thanks for visiting me today! I hope you had a terrific weekend...I sure did with some craft fairs and my first holiday party.
You may be thinking of greeting cards and some of you may even be ready to send yours out. Here's a greeting card idea I did a couple of months back. Remember the handmade hello? I received a lot of comments from that project, I thought I'd make a new twist for this season.
We'll need an empty ribbon spool & an old paper bag.
(Left-over from gift wrapping & take-out dinners)

Using a pair of scissors, cut out what you've printed, making sure it's the size of the ribbon that was once on the spool. This will be the new "ribbon".
