Handmade Christmas Gift Tags

Christmas gift tags measuring 2 ½ by 4 ½ .


I had so much fun creating these; I used the beautiful K & Company Christmas papers and I altered regular shipping tags added for weight. For even more festive fun I added wonderful embellishments, like dimensional holly and vintage clippings. If you like them they’re available at my Etsy store Claraism.etsy.com

this is my third blog...whahoo!

a lot has happened since my last blog, so I'll try to touch base on some of the events.

Feeling a little baptist?

this weekend I was hired to video tape a baptist seminar. where one of the big ticket topics was "so you're Baptist, but are you relevant?" i am not kidding, and for the hour long workshop people used examples as to why they were Not relevant...I like to think that every person that exists is relevant. so I am here to say that whether your baptist or not you are relevant. you matter, and as long as I exist you will always mean something to someone...your thoughts , and your actions directly affect another person,place or thing...so you see you are relevant...



Taking my own advise...

I should take my own advise...in my last blog I mention not knowing how to use Etsy.com. so i thought that it must be me or worse my art that kept people away....I thought that i as a Mixed-media artist was irrelevant...my art was not relevant...so i took my advise and thought about the fact that I make art, I see it, I can touch it, and touches me right back by bringing out an emotional response in me...there fore my art is relevant and so am I as an artist and as an individual. I sold this little devil paper mache art doll. she is so cute...i hope that who ever bought her loves her as much as i do...more to come so check back often!
