I really enjoy making paper chains.
I made this chain using scrapbooking remnants while my youngest cut knights from construction paper.
File this find under GASP! A Cath Kidston magnetic memo set at T.J. Maxx for just $3.99! It might just be too cute for menu and shopping lists. Cath without international shippng rates!
Hooray for paper!
Hooray for Vintage Lizzie -- She is having a Pink Christmas giveaway!

Elyse, I have that exact same CK list from TJ Maxx! I love your paper chain. Scrapbook paper makes them so pretty! Twyla
What a wonderful idea...the paper chains are perfect for using up scrap paper. I'm going to try to make one for my small white feather tree :-) Thanks for sharing.

Great idea for the scraps. I hate to throw anything away. And something the kids can help with. I always made them with my kindergarten classes but haven't taught in several years. I'm inspired to make one at home for the holiday season. Blessings, :) Tammy
How funny! I will be making the chains with my boys this week too! AND, I had planned to use remnant paper too!
LOVE the Cath Kidston list pads!!!! SO CUTE! And perfect for sweet Elyse :):)
Big Hugs,

Your paper chains are so beautiful and cheerful Elyse, I love them!!! And I always love finding wonderful goodies for such a great price :) I hope your week is going wonderful, xxoo, Dawn
Those paper chains have brought back some wonderful memories. My Son made some in grade school one year. I put them up for so many years.

Whow your choice of paper gives a whole new dimension to the paper chain, I love it! Too bad we haven't TJ Maxx over here (anymore!).

Adorable, Elyse! Love all the colors!
M has a paper chain on her blog today,too and i'm still working on my pink ribbon chain. (Goes a bit slower than paper!)
I didn't know we could get Cath's stuff over here!!! ♥
I love paper chains too! I have one that I hang in Emma's room every year. Love the Cath! I actually just received it as a surprise from a friend.
Perhaps a trip to TJ Maxx is in my future. Those are so cute! Paper chains are so much fun and using the scrapbook paper is inspired. Again - I may have to steal your idea. Just being honest.

So funny, Elyse, I just picked that CK shopping list up at Winners (T.J. Maxx Canadian equivalent). The kids asked how I managed to find it.
And thank you so much for your kind words about the knitted baby hat.

Oh Elyse those paper chains bring back fond memories of my childhood. We also used to make one with 25 days on it and hang it up on a doorway on December 1st and take one ring off each day until Christmas. Boy did we get excited when we only had a couple links to go!!

Hi, Elyse,
Your paper chains are the cutest. They would look wonderful on the tree or mantle or just about anywhere you want to hang them! Congratulations on finding Cath Kidston. You are very lucky. I love all of her things. Blessings to you! Vicki

Hello Elyse, it was a flash back to see your beautiful paper chains... I went just to my school time... how nice!!!!
Your magnetics are great. We don´t have kath Kidstone here in Chile and I´ve seen so much references to her store in the blogs.
Muchos cariños
