Happy Monday.
Thanks again for not going anywhere
while I wrap up a few things around here.
I'm nearly at the point where I
can devote more time to other projects again...
and tell you what I'm so excited for.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I'm not only a blogger but a mommy too
and a sick Chicken Nugget required lots of cuddles this weekend
and there was nary a moment to wrap things up.
Gratefully, my mother watched the babes
while I whipped up a wedding gift on Friday.
His and her laundry bags.
With a lavender sachet that holds a piece of chalk.
(Next time, I'll write in cursive with a chalk pen.)
In addition to money,
I like to give a gift as well.
I told you I was a little old-fashioned.
How about you?
And, I'm a blogger
so one photo simply will not do.
Here is my new label.
I found a vintage, rubber stamp set complete with
two sizes of letters and numbers for 50 cents
at a yard sale over the summer.
With a little fabric ink,
I decided to use it for handmade labels.
What do you think?
I went simple with the wrapping.
Brown craft paper, embellished with a crystal,
hemp rope, and a vellum quote.
"When I saw you
I fell in love,
and you smiled
because you knew."
I wasn't able to attend the lakeside wedding
on Saturday so the husband went stag.
This mama wasn't leaving her sick baby for nothin'.
Back to the laundry bags,
I posted a tutorial a while back
on how to make them.
The laundry bag is also
It's huge and I use mine everyday.
I was going to post a To-Do list
of upcoming projects that I have planned
but this post is long enough.
I'll add the list tomorrow.
(You're going to love them!...I hope.)
There's still time to "air your laundry."
Party closes Tuesday at midnight.
Thank you so much for linking up,
or displaying my button,
or just stopping by for a visit.

And, welcome new readers.
Thank you.
It is very fitting for you to make and gift these lovely bags. I like the labels as well. Have a blessed week and I hope the golden nugget gets well. I called my kid a golden nugget. hugs♥olive
Jami those are so adorable. What a special gift they got. I love your tags, so cute. I hope your little one starts feeling better.
They're darling... I think it's so neat to give a gift as well!
Oh Jami... I love this bag so much, and I am soooo proud of you. I can only imagine what else you will delight us with. I love thoughtful handmade items and this was the perfect gift for the newlyweds. Love your new tag, and I forgot to say earlier, hope the little man is getting better. You are such a good mom(I really should have just written an e-mail, or a book) and such a talented wonderful person(hold on, the hook is grabbing me offstage)...
Your label is lovely! What a cute gift. Love the touch of the crystal.

Poor sick baby! lots of hugs and kisses from CA!
Hi, Jami! Your package was waiting for me when I returned home last night. I love the blue jar, but was especially touched by your note, the nest, and the sachet. It is all just so wonderful!! I see a future blog post in the making......we just can't help ourselves, can we??!!
Thanks again for all the sweetness, Carol
I would have never thought to give laundry bags as wedding gifts, but yours are sooo beautiful, and it really does seem appropriate in the sweetest way. The bags, the quote, and the gift wrapping are just gorgeous, Jami!
Hope your little Chicken Nugget is feeling better now. :)

Sorry your little one was sick. I always want to be home when mine are too, and they're all getting bigger. It's just part of being a mama I guess :-) You have some lovely photos here. That is a perfect gift!
Blessings,

Hello Honey Bunny! (Pardon the term of endearment but I just can't help myself lol) I've missed you so! Your wedding gift is just divine and I'm going to have to check out this etsy shop. I can't wait. The chalk is just the sweetest touch, and I'm sure after they are married for a while they will be able to fill in the blanks with all kinds of stuff...teehee. I hope the nugget is feeling better today.
Hi Jami~
I love everything about the gift! It is a perfect wedding gift and so beautifully put together, too! And I love the little tag you made as well! :)
I hope your son is feeling better, too. So glad you could stay with him~ your babies are so blessed to have you as a mom! :)
I hope things are going well for you this week! :)
