It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas wrapping....

I made a resolution this year to not buy any wrapping paper, bows, ribbon or ornaments.  I have plenty of that stuff around the house, and it would encourage me to be more creative.  Like I have a problem with that or something....anyway...

What I didn't think of at the time was that a lot of the wrapping paraphenalia I had around said house was of the green and black & white polkadot variety, with some zebra-print thrown in.  But I was determined to make it work, without having a repeat of the toilet-paper-and-an-old-extension-cord wrapping job I used three years ago.  I decided to rely on my trusty Microsoft WordArt and love of fonts to create my own name tags. 

Here are my first efforts...
