I had so much fun sitting down with a little mulled wine to wrap presents this year!

I had the idea to save money on gift wrap this year by using plain butcher paper and jute cord, giving it a vintage postal sort of look, but as I did my first one, I started thinking....and immediately ran to the store to buy paint, tape, gold brads, and a ton of antique travel stickers and tags. I turned them into steamer trunks! LOVE IT. This was my prototype so it was a little messy, but it got better as I went along. :)
We celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary in 2006. We had a family celebration that lasted all weekend long, and we had a lot of fun. We took a road trip, enjoyed great food, ate white chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, had special gold and white M&Ms printed up for the occasion and just enjoyed being with each other.
However, we had a hard time coming up with a gift ... you know ... something special that they didn't have and would really enjoy. Finding the perfect present eluded us ... for two and a half years! Yes, you heard that right.
We finally decided on a digital photo frame. We purchased it, wrapped it up and delivered it last night. It ended up being a great choice. We celebrated a little more, ate a great homemade dessert that Mother made and started the photo uploading process.
So far we have managed to import one photo into their new frame. That seemingly simple task ended up being a little more complicated that we had anticipated because most of the photos displayed as a white question mark on a black background. The problem apparently has something to do with how they were saved in Adobe Photoshop.
So, the anniversary continues. And that's a good thing. It will give us another chance to get together and celebrate. Since there aren't any rules about when you're supposed to stop celebrating an anniversary, this could go on for a long time.
The card we got matches the event perfectly. On the outside it says, "To be continued ...". On the inside it says, "... forever. Happy Anniversary!"
Now I've just got to figure out how to get those photos in a format where they'll display properly in the frame. They're going to get tired of looking at that one picture of the snowman puzzle pretty fast!
FYI: The paper on the gift came from The Container Store (It's actually Christmas giftwrap, but the Christmas part is so subtle that you'd never know that if I hadn't just told you). I bought the patterned double-sided satin ribbon at Michael's.

This is an elegant little paper gift box complete sheer white ribbon. The box and lid have been hand folded. The bottom has a beautiful victorian print and the top is printed with clips from wedding vows. ('To have and to hold', 'Always and Forever', and 'From this day forward'.) The box measures 3" x 3" x 1.5".
I love my new circuit board wrapping paper! To give my package a retro look, I turned an old floppy disk into birthday card.

More from the amazing estate sale stash. Love these kids and just wish it wasn't so pieced together.

~Re: Ember's Pollies...the mini theatre one is cute, certainly the cutest of the new minis. I think the art studio might be #2, followed by the TV/pull-out couch, bunny hutch, & nursery. Although, compare that with my nursery compact (not 100% fair since mine is a standard-size and this is a mini, but still), and you see how there's no comparison between the 90s Pollys and these. It's as if the latter were designed by people with bigger, fatter, lazier hands. The originals have mesmerizing fine detail, realism, creativity. The new Pollies (no I can't decide on the spelling) have big chunks of solid-colored plastic that obscure detail, cartoonier inserts, little to no concern for scale, etc. Mom did in fact pick the best one for my birthday (the doughnut house.) This sandcastle has the coolest outer shape, plus the lower level looks neat. Many of the new ones are like that--either the upper or lower level is better, and it's tough to choose among them. I compared my beach, school, and spa with their current counterparts, and plainly...there IS no comparison. Had the current PPs been the PPs of the 90s, the line could never have been so beloved and magical. It'd just be a "cute" one that you would've had one or a few of, like Star Castle or something.
Most of the new ones do have certain cute, even adorable, elements...but on the whole they blatantly have a fraction of the effort put in. As with most things. They just degenerate over time rather than improving or even maintaining quality. The sandcastle one looks fine irl, but check out the theater. www.flickr.com/gp/poodiedogge/v1475C Look at the sloppy, inaccurate, bubbly sticker placement. And the carpeting that's not as advertised (or as pretty.) Never mind that the piano lacks black keys in the first place.
Do they think kids won't notice or care? They deserve to have the same glorious beauty I did. Polly used to be much muchier. She's lost her muchness. The generic little heart sticker sheet they threw in decidedly does not compensate.
~Ma's Primavera Haribos...damn, but she needs a bigger stocking. That itsy-bitsy thang can't even take a candy bag. >< Her jadeite salt & pepper cellars may need a label for the pepper one because they only sell ones that say "salt." WTFH. But I saved a nice label & can print it on green. My shopping/selection, gangsta-wrappin', labeling, and stickering have delighted me once again. ^3^ Especially the penguin coordination of Hunter's. x3
~That was the fun part. I need more for boys, and they are tricky af to buy for. Just got some ideas for Fred but then still need more Joe. Dx I have some trip/activity coupons for Dad and wanna go in on a new, hopefully non-squeaky/creaky office chair. Ornaments for once are an impossible choice--no clear winners in a huge bunch of 20-40, so I in my infinite brilliance say, "Why not all? Print the image of the whole group, laminate, punch a hole, et voila! 30-something cute new ormanents in one!" +D Genius.
i think my outfit's color scheme influenced the choice of wrapping paper i purchased today.

Stella was helping me wrap the last few gifts last night.
I get the distinct feeling that she will be happy when all this nonsense is over with, and she can have all her normal lounging spots back......free from holiday clutter!

It's always interesting to see how other people have used textures
Thanks : )
It's for you.
Traditionally, each year I do a group shot of all the gifts arranged real nice, but this year, I didn't really coordinate the wrapping paper like I usually do. So I thought I'd go minimalist instead.
Since I didn't get a working scanner again until 3 weeks after I had already packed away all my Xmas stuff, and waiting until it's time to pull it out and decorate to scan it all would mean delaying my usual decorating start time by a week (I have a LOT of crap), I drug it all back out and have been scanning it all non stop.
But for funsies, here's a sneak preview. I love getting ahead of schedule with anything, it really is one of my giddy pleasures. I already have most of my Halloween stuff scanned! The Valentines day stuff to be shared every day up until Feb 14th has all been scanned a week ago
Anyhoo, this was a 4 foot long section of wrapping paper found in some of my Grandmas old stuff, it was pretty brittle and crinkly, my mom ironed it gingerly
