Handmade Love - Kibbles


Anyone who's ANYONE on the etsy forums knows "the antlerchrist".

kibbles' bright red antlers are unmistakable, as is the beautiful paper she crafts.

I picked up some kitty and paw print tags ( of course) and have had a blast attaching them to the little gifts i give to pals and family.

I don't think i will ever be able to go back to "store bought" tags ever again. My gift recipients will be to angry ;)
