Friendship Vineyards

Every December, along with all the baking and candy making, Jeff and I usually make Sangria. I love Sangria. We start with red wine and then we add Brandy, Cointreau, fresh squeezed lemons and oranges, and a little sugar...yummy! Jeff usually takes a bunch of Sangria into work with my homemade Almond Rocha for gifts for the people he works with.

These are the bottles he took in today. I used to make my own labels on the computer every year but when I saw GinaK's new, Festive Labels set last month I just knew I HAD TO HAVE THEM! I also ordered her waterproof labels which work great for cold wine bottles!

Here's a close up of one of the labels. Just perfect for gift giving!



This stamp set also comes with everything I needed to make the tags for the bottles. I stamped the border and sentiment in green ink and then cut out the circle and the burgundy scallop background with my nestabilities. The "from" is a retired SU stamp.


I wish I could send each of my loyal blog readers a bottle but since I can't I'll just drink some for each of you...hee, hee....

I am hopeful that I will get back into my regular routine of stamping after tomorrow and will be able to post on a more regular basis. I do want to with each and everyone of you a joyful holiday season and if you celebrate Christmas, I hope tomorrow is a joyous day filled with friends and family...and that Santa is good to you.
