Preview of the hand made Christmas Bags coming soon

I have been busy gathering the goodies that I will put in the Christmas gift bags. I stamped some beautiful Christmas designs on the caramel cream premium muslin that I dyed. I have some little adorable colored jingle bells, along with some with antique brass finish.
I have some red heart buttons, little wood buttons shaped like trees...SO cute! Little wood star buttons too. And three full packs of my hand dyed buttons. Seam ribbon in a deep red that I overdyed. Three, full 5 yard packs, of my hand dyed chenille in a soft green, dark green and antique red. 5 (20 yard) skeins of my floss in Christmas colors. Cluny ric rac in 3 colors. Ecru cluny trim. I have some packs of vintage tiny ric rac in a nice Christmas red so I wound 1 yard on a tiny wood spool. I couldn't decide on charts...not sure which to pick but but I finally selected the Treasured Friend, Christmas ornament collection (shown are some of the patterns stitched but are not included) and the Believe pattern from one of my other ornament collections. I bought some gold mesh draw string bags to put the smaller goodies in. Finally I added 6 reproduction post cards that I had printed back in the 90's. Great Christmas post cards you can send.  I think that covers it! It will be a $70 value when I am finished and I will have a give away in November and another one at Christmas so be sure to check back. I may add a piece of fabric to one of the give aways. I also have just listed these in my eBay store.
