  This listing includes a free set of 8 really nice gift tags, which are very detailed, and free shipping just to thank my first customers for taking a chance on a newbie!  These are large tags and make a beautiful accent to dress up a bottle of wine, gift basket or gift bag. I love doing gift tags( my mom makes a lot of gift baskets and has me do tags for her to color coordinate and match her theme.). I have wondered if there would be a market for these, if you would like to send me a response about it, I would love to get some opinions! The largest of these tags is about 5x3. I'll do my best to make sure your not disappointed!  Thank you so much for looking today!

     I have been asked a couple of  times about doing custom orders or taking request for a theme, the answer is YES. I really enjoy doing personalized work and it can be fun and challenging to bring someones idea to fruition, especially if it is based on something hard to find or a hobby that you can't find a lot of stamps for I can do custom drawings! Before having children I did murals, faux finishes and some photography backdrops.I would be happy to work with anyone who would like to contact me.
