Thanks for understanding and following my terms.
*** ADDED NOTE, Please Read ***
If you're looking for tutorials of my tags? Sorry but I don't write tutorials because I get very frustrated trying to keep track of what I did to create a finished tag. I always credit the fabulous tut writers when I've used a tutorial because they're the brave ones and without their sharing I wouldn't have learned how to fine-tune my designs. Just the way it goes Thelma.
I'm just missing the "Tutorial Writing Gene" I guess.

The Story Behind My Curly Toes Stocking Template

For many years I'd had a wonderful close friend named Vicki.  We started doing craft faires together around Xmas time,  Vicki made the most exquisite
Xmas stockings using velvets, satins, hounds tooth fabrics; vintage laces, buttons, vintage florals...things she'd saved thru the years from flea markets and thrift store rummaging.
Vick was diagnosed with breast cancer.  It was very aggressive; she managed to beat it and was cancer free for 7 years.  But it came back.  So while she went thru more chemo she'd sit in her chair and hand sew her beautiful stockings.  Many went to the chemo nurses, or she filled with yummie goodies for fellow patients.  Sadly, she passed away.  I treasure my Curly Toes stockings.  In a way, they are my Breast Cancer Awareness reminders.
=====
Last year I created a template set, designed after her paper patterns.  When I make tags in the season, I feel like I'm sharing part of my friend.
So, thank you on all the wonderful comments on my stocking tags...
You're really complimenting Vicki for what she taught me.
