I used to have better eyesight and did a lot of sewing. I made Christmas ornaments from wool felt and bought a kit to make a Christmas wall hanging. I enjoy looking at the scrapbooking sections of Michael's and Walmart. Anyway, I bought a hole punch that makes tiny holes. I think you could use that for making gift tags from old Christmas cards. Just put some thin string through the hole and and tie or tape it to the package. I've never done any scrapbooking, but I'd love to find a magazine about it.

Here are some crafts I made years ago:

It's fun, but that wall hanging took a l-o-n-g time to complete. :dizzy: Every sequin is sewn on individually.

But I think it was really worth all the time you spent on it:dizzy:

Thank you very much.

I think that was a Bucilla kit; they chose the pink. I can't take credit for that, but I like the colors they chose.

I love going to people's houses and seeing things like this. There is just something so special about seeing decorations that come out storage year after year. You know it's part of family tradition, and all the wonderful Christmas memories that go along with it.:candycane1:

I don't remember. I would work on it for an hour and then put it away, then get it out a couple of weeks later, and then put it away. Every sequin is held on with a seed bead and I used a very thin needle that would go through the bead.
