just some of my vintage stash; my Mom gave me a whole box of this!! I love it, and have only used it by scanning and printing the designs.

I think I prefer this choice of wrapping paper to his previous effort.

I couldn't find any cheap Christmas wrapping paper in the Boxing Day sales but I found this stuff. It should keep me going for a few years.

Today's theme in We're Here! is about wrapping paper.

I thought to myself, "Self, how can you do this creatively?"

And then this happened.

This took the longest and it had to be wrapped inch by inch to move with the letters.

Wrapping Presents

I'm pretty sure I'm not good at wrapping presents but it is a lot of fun. The paper, ribbons, bows, boxes and stickers. Presents can be beautiful!

I get excited thinking about the person and what they'll think when they open it. Part of me is a little anxious as well thinking they will really not like it or wanted something else but at least people don't usually tell you if that's the case. And! this also means you`re that much closer to Christmas :D hehe

This is my favorite of the 'steamer trunk' wrapped gifts I made this year. It was the last one I did and I think I finally had the hang of it (even though I ran out of brads.) Yay!

These papers were created on brown kraft papers . I applied a plain layer of background color then,

I painted random flowers and leaves freehand.

This is not how I feel LOl

hope you are all well and ready for the Christmas , sorry i have not been around much -- you know how it is

Take care and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful and healthy new year
