When my sweet cousin Cindy came to visit, she brought me lots of ‘pressies’! She filled a huge bag with crafting supplies from her stash and oh what fun I had playing with everything!
She also made a few pockets with tags. And that gave me an idea. I’ve seen the tag journals so I decided to make a couple of them.
I sent this one off to her. It was great fun to make and nicer that a thank you note, don’t you think?
(one without the silk ribbon so that you can read it)
The tiny photos are selfies she took with her phone and then printed out on her handy dandy printer!
Have you made anything like this?
I enjoy small projects more and more! And it’s nice when you have lots of new supplies to play with!
The one I made for myself!

I had not heard of a tag journal but it looks like fun.
How Nice !!...enjoy a beautiful summer love Ria x 💜
I love the tag you made for yourself the beads on it is so cute and the starfish. I would love to make one, but as Hubby says you have alot of crafts you are making now don't start any new ones. He is right this time, but don't tell him I said so HA! HA!
Hello, what a great idea for a note. The pocket tags are so cute. Fun project, thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day and new week ahead. Happy July!
These are adorable! I have never seen anything like them, but now I think I have to make some for myself!
very cute!! No, I don't make anything like that. Have a great week!
I love the idea of the tags, Diane. Do you actually take them apart and use them on gifts?
How sweet are they! I'm just getting ready to make some cards...it must be Paper Monday as I'll be doing a book post too! LOL! I've missed you as I had company for 3 weeks...still doing laundry but will read your back posts to catch up! Hope all is well...hot here per usual for summer. Hugs ~ Sam
I love your tag journal, might have to borrow that idea, Its nice to get new crafting bits too have fun with it.
Your tags are gorgeous.Have a nice Monday
much love...
Nicely done and shown!
How special is that?? I’ve never seen something like this but I love it! My fingers are getting so arthritic that small projects are not my go to any more! But I sure do love what you made and I have a real fondness for tags!
Happy Monday, my Dear!
Your cousin Cindy certainly knows how to inspire!
Have fun....Happy Monday!

I have never seen anything like these, so cute and what a great way to make a gift..
Sandra sent me over to look at your tag journal. I love that. Great idea and I agree much better than a thank you card
Small doable projects are becoming more appealing to me Diane. Love those cute tags. I have some tags, I should embellish them My Kendall loves doing collages so maybe she could help me.
These are so cute! I love your crafty ideas and creativeness! I'm hoping I have more time to create soon! Hugs!!
I've not heard of those either, but I'm not a crafter. Very sweet and I agree that it is much nicer than just a thank-you note!
Little projects like these are so cute and satisfying. Love the idea of one as a thank you gift.
I've never made anything like that. I do think that they are quite pretty though.
What a great idea! I agree, small projects are so nice. No huge commitment, like the big old sweater I'm making! haha What a great gift, to get a lot of crafting supplies! xo Deborah
Love the tag you made, adorable. I’ve never made one but I’ve received them. Yes, they are special. Knowing someone took the time to make it just for me. Hope you are enjoying the week.........
I have not heard of a tag journal before but what a great idea and I really like the one you made.
Those are wonderful., and it sounds like she brought you the perfect gift. Sort of reminds me of trying to take a gift to my sister when we were house guests. She is a cleaning freak, so I filled a basket with every "new" cleaning product I could find. She loved it.
I have been traveling, so I am trying to catch up.Have a wonderful week.
I've never seen anyone do a tag journal, but it sure is cute, I love it! Very neat idea. Love all your new supplies she gave you. Are y'all staying cool down there? It sure is HOT HERE. Cant really be out in the heat of the day at all, so we venture out late in the evenings. Are y'all slowing down on your walking or keeping going in the heat?
PS... I forgot to ask--do y'all swim?
Your tag albums are gorgeous and so much nicer to receive thank a thank you note, I haven't made tags for a while but I think I might begin again after seeing these lovely one.
these tag journals are lovely. Happy crafting with those supplies your cousin brought to you. Have a great week and thank you for stopping by my blog this week.
Great job on the tag journals. You are one creative lady my friend ❤
Love those.....specially that one you made with the ribbon rose!
Clever idea! Much more personal and a gift in itself.
Dearest Diane; What a wonderful present from your sweet cousin. I enjoyed all of the pictures enlarging them. I LOVE the phrase in your tag♡♡♡ I always appreciate my husband who supports me ;-)
I admire people who has talent with handwork; I wish I had p;-)
Have a WONDERFUL rest of the week.
Lots of love and hugs from Japan, Miyako*
PS. I needed to check the word "pressies" ; Thank you very much for the chance to learn new word♪
I love tag journals. Years ago I did a tutorial for doing a tag recipe book -- I should repost that! Yours is darling!
They look very nice indeed :)
All the best Jan
Hi Diane, oh I love these pretty tags you made. I too enjoy making small projects. :)
Thanks for sharing at Cooking and Crafting with J & J.
Enjoy the week
