Hello my happy scrappy SGT fan friends! How is everyone?

How am I you ask? Alive! I can tell the holidays are coming. A million things to do, not enough time to get them done, not to mention not enough energy.

I thought I would show you a quick little project I recently did for me and some of our close friends. Long ago we planned a trip to Temecula for some wine tasting. This trip has literally been in discussion since last Christmas and last weekend, the day time had finally arrived. So I was super excited to go and get my drink (uh, I mean taste?) on. Five couples were on board to go, three of which would be in our car. So I thought we’d probably need some way to tell each other’s wine apart. And if they were like me, they’d love to know why in the heck they bought a specific wine once they got it home and were ready to indulge in its fermented goodness.  So at 10:00PM the night before I began the creation of these:

… personalized wine tags. The idea behind these is that you could write on the back why you liked the wine you were purchasing and then tie it to the top of your bottle so they didn’t get mixed up like so:

They were really easy to make. A scallop circle punch, a smaller decorative circle punch, a hole punch, and some ribbon. Oh I guess a butterfly punch too.

I made everyone seven tags. Unfortunately we only used two. Perhaps I might have used more had I not come down with the stomach flu at the third winery!!!!! GRRRR! I started feeling very ill and thought, “There’s no way I have drinken enough wine to get me sick!” Sure enough it was the stomach flu, courtesy of my oldest Hannah. And while everyone else proceeded to taste wines, get tipsy, and enjoy themselves, I got to visit each winery’s bathroom and pray to their porcelain gods. (note: South Coast Winery has the nicest restrooms)

So these tags are not only good for wine bottles. You can make Christmas gift tags, birthday gift tags, Halloween party favor tags, etc.

Hope you stay healthy!
