Spent a good part of today wrapping presents. I am trying to stay on top of our Holiday prep since I have some surgery scheduled on the 17th...Still waiting for an Amazon order, and I have to do a little more baking!

Day 141 of 365.

Being in the southern hemisphere we really don't have a concept of a "White Christmas" I really do hope we get to experience one at some point, since our Christmas day is usually a steaming hot day in front of a braai near a pool or ocean.

So for Hereios : Snow and TOTW : "Happy Holidays" I made so seriously bad fake snow using some sparkly Christmas wrapping paper

I was going to try for Hereios and ODC, but I could not get the custom bokeh design right using a snowflake symbol. I just don't have the skill with scissors.

To another TIE Interceptor set. Instead of having two of them to fly around the house, though, he'd like to exchange it for other Star Wars related merch.

i was randomly going through some drawers in my old room at my parents' place, and found this folded sheet of sanrio wrapping paper. so precious.

Swap-Bot Group PNS: Leftover Wrapping Paper Postcard swap.

She's sooo awesome!

Apparently looking at my Whitman set made her aware of that company, so when she saw these coloring books, she got them for me!

Wheeeee! I LOVE you, flickr, and I love you Rita!

I needed wrapping paper for a birthday gift for my niece and I didn't like any of the choices in the store so i made my own in bulk.

made with hand-carved lino-cut stamps.

I love this cut-paper style illustration on front! Makes me think of greenbeanbaby!

Upcycled wrapping paper Cafédirect style!

You know what we need like we need a hole in the head? More wrapping paper. But, Schnookie got a gift card from Container Store so.... MOAR WRAPPING PAPER!!! There was some talk about how great these are going to look wrapping suspiciously-shaped tubular presents (i.e. needlepoint canvases). We hope Santa's elves were listening!

It doesn't seem too early to be this excited for Christmas because the weather the last two days has been shockingly cold with even more shockingly cold gusts of wind.

Zig came out of nowhere to reclaim the wrapping paper from Roxy. If you look at his back feet you can see that he has just stomped her head!

Picture the Holidays 2011 | Day Twenty

The prompt for today was "Wrapped with Love". Well, my gifts will be wrapped with love... if I ever get around to wrapping them!

One for my mum and one for my mum-in-law...

Candi and I have exchanged Christmas (and other assorted) gifts for a few years now and last year she even made us a special Red Cat Angel to honor the memory of our precious boy that passed away in September 2006, it tops our tree now every year.

This year when our delightful box of goodies arrived, I was immediately blown away buy some of the wrapping paper which had kitties on it and can you believe, the orange tabby looks exactly like our Red Cat! Art immediately knew which photo it resembled so I've made a comparative diptych and I don't think there's any denying where the source for this cute "painting" came from.

Candi, I may have forgotten to mention it before but DAMN GOOD FIND GIRL! :-)

My current door decoration. I hate decorating my door. Notice the big bottle of Germex that greets the students as they enter the room! Haha!

Gibson Stratocaster Burt Reynolds...

Yep, that's his full name. It's a long story.

Sebastian opening presents on the morning of his second birthday. He understood the present thing this time! This is the best of a fairly poor batch of present-opening photos, unfortunately.

Bag of trash has been on the side of the road since January .

It would be great if you could post a small version of any image with this texture as a comment here.

Wrapping paper designed by me for my Graphic Design 2 class. I need to work on my wrapping skills!

Christmas 2012, Brian used painters tape, duck tape, and a mix match assortment of ways to wrap gifts this year.

All the schoolbooks need to be covered,

it's not dull, actually a kind of fun!

I bought wrapping-paper, well coloured,

three rolls of it, to get the job done.
