When it comes to gift-giving, I actually enjoy wrapping the presents more than buying them. I guess I like the creativity that's involved. Rather than seeing gift wrapping as a chore, I view it as an opportunity to create small, temporary works of art.
I'm fascinated by what a little paper, tape and ribbon can do to an ordinary cardboard box, and I'm amazed at how quickly my artistic efforts are transformed into a pile of debris ready to be hauled out with the trash. Ahhhh ... the joys and realities of the creative life!
I thought the selection of wrapping paper and ribbon this year was especially good. A quick trip to The Container Store, CVS Pharmacy and Wal-Mart produced the ingredients for the packages you see in this picture. The results were a joy to give and receive, and I believe that's how gift-giving should be.
Of course ...
Inner beauty is always paramount, but if you've got that one covered, a nice presentation is the icing on the cake.
May every gift you receive be beautiful ... inside and out.
Merry Christmas!

I found a HUGE batch of wrapping paper at an estate sale. The lovely lady saved every single scrap of paper. While they are not all in the best condition or large pieces, I do love all of the variety and prints that were there.
Davids away with work for the night, the girls are in bed (not asleep I should add), I have trashy tele on so what better to do than start on the wrapping. I don't really have much for other people to wrap so thought I would get them out the way before I wrap the main presents on Friday night. Luckily a friend is having Bethany overnight for me so I can get the girls presents wrapped and put away with her seeing.
Now to carry on with the wrapping.

More from the amazing estate sale stash. This one is lovely colors in person and is actually had the piece that was dated 1968!
When you get to ten, some of your presents become clothing.
Younger children get toys, their clothes are issued when they need them and are not used as Christmas or birthday presents.
At least they are not red ones.

They might have put some toy cars inside the boots
