A Playdate with Made by Joel - and a Giveaway!

What do you get when you combine Joel's Free Holiday Gift Tag printable with my Free Goody Bag pattern?
This! A cute, reusable gift bag!

The Joel, of course, is Joel Henriques, the amazing dad who blogs at Made by Joel and author of Made to Play - a book showing you how to make tons of great, creative handmade toys.

Want to make some of these goody bags yourself? Click here to go to the tutorial on Made by Joel. They're quick and easy to stitch up and most of the designs are perfect for kid stitchers.

Want some that are already made? Then today might be your lucky day! I'm giving away five bags here. . .
. . . and Joel is giving away the other five on his site. (Playing together is fun!)
Leave a comment here to enter my giveaway. Then visit Made by Joel and leave a comment there to enter his giveaway!

We'll choose winners on Saturday morning and the bags will ship out on Monday.

Have a great day everyone!

Best,
Wendi
