we’ve been busy at our house being crafty and keeping busy. also, trying to get the christmas cards in the mail…

i’ve been making custom luggage tags for our upcoming holiday travels. i custom made the tags in adobe:illustrator. i found the clear laminating pouches and loops at office depot, they are available online too, here. the directions call for a special laminating heating device to actually seal the two sides together. i do not have one of those that is for sure, and they are super expensive. i just used a warm iron, covered the top of the tags with a thin towel, and held the iron firmly over the top for about 10 seconds. it worked perfectly. no bumps or bubbles in the laminating. 

on a fancier note, i am headed to a holiday ball tonight in tuscaloosa. yay for a FUN reason to play “dress up!” i am really excited, especially because i get to see a dear friend that i lived with sophomore year of college. we have not seen each other in a few months, and she leaves for istanbul (yes IN turkey) the 2nd week of january. i am kind of embarrassed to say that I do not think I have even ever been to tuscaloosa. yeap, an auburn girl is coming to town! 

be back with pictures soon! have a happy weekend!
