Kudzu, it turned out just great! Love the little garland you used, it added just a touch of color, making it perfect. I remember years ago when a friend used dry cleaner bags to make a wreath. The sandwich baggies sound easier, and this kind of wreath won't be a problem to pack away either. Love all your crafty ideas. Luvs

Great idea! I like working with wallpaper and have several wallpaper sample books. You can usually get wallpaper sample books for free at places like home improvement stores, or stores that deal with home decorating. My local neighborhood home improvement store occasionally throws all of the their outdated wallpaper sample books into wheelbarrows and they are yours for the taking.

Sweeby, that's a good idea. Mine are all in one big bag, but if I put the Christmas bags together, I could actually save more closet space. Meg, what "we" could do is hang them on nice hooks on a wall out of sight and hang the bag of bags on the hook! Oh, and then buy a really pretty bag to hold the one's inside. :)

I usually use zip locks (after a couple slices are off)for just weekend baking but last Christmas I had picked up decorated ones from JoAnne's they were actually for cookie trays. after we tied them up had to trim them a little. I ended up making over 12 loaves - white, polish sweet, cinnamon, Houska, quick breads, didn't have much money (don't this year either! so a baking I will be in a week or so!!! Dough hooks on a mixer - a wonderful thing!
