the tag's the thing

So, I am just now *getting* how tags work on blog posts. I feel kinda silly for not recognizing what their purpose is - to index blog posts by topic. I guess thought the tags were connected to the internet search engines like Google. I only recently discovered that I can actually include a list of tags I've used on my blog to make it easier to find related posts.

I've gone ahead and added my tag list (aka "labels") at the far right under all the other blog doo-dads. I'm also trying to clean the tags up so they'll be more useful.

Just for fun, I thought I'd post some pics of some tags I've made. Most of these are pretty old --done in my swap craze days. I guess if you're a scrapbooker you might be able to guess at the dates of these projects by looking at the paper used. ;-)

basic grey

Basic Grey has a new roller tool for burnishing rub-ons. I didn't think to take a pic of it, but it is pretty cool. The roller action helps prevent the tearing and buckling you sometimes experience (esp with large rubon images). I guess it's already shipping so I'm hoping to get my hands on one soon.

And, of course, there were lots and lots of yummy paper lines and coordinating accessories from BG. Enjoy!
