Marvelous Monday #32 & Merry Christmas!

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 32nd in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday".  Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings. 
Today is Christmas Eve. I want to take this time to say Merry Christmas to you and your family. May you find joy in this Holiday season.

My project today is to help with your gift giving. It has been said many times your gift has so much to do with the packaging. This is a simple way to take an ordinary gift bag and turn it into a unique one of kind gift bag.  Simply attach a piece of patterned paper and attach to the gift bag, stamp a sentiment or add a sticker, tie some ribbon on the handle and you are good to go.  I'm sharing two examples today:

Today's Scripture:

"While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.  She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them."  Luke 2:6-7

May you have a "Marvelous Monday" and a very Merry Christmas.

Simply cut Christmas patterned paper to 1"x3" and wrap around the Hershey nugget and tape to the back of the nugget. I then put 5 of them in a small cellophane bag.  The "For You" was stamped on white card stock.  I also punched a scallop circle and attached to the cellophane bag. Here is my result:
