All of my Christmas gifts are tied up with string & ready to give! All save the three that are en route & won't make it to our house in time for our 7am flight tomorrow morning. That's okay. I'm not stressing about anything this year. It could be because I'm medicated, or that I'm keeping things simple this year. I didn't go to great lengths to handmake all of my gifts this year as I've done in the past; that was stressful. But I have managed to make a couple (I'll share with you after Christmas) and keep holiday spending to a minimum. To make my gifts a little more special, I took some extra time to wrap each one with care & love. I'm totally digging the black, tan, gold, grey, white color scheme that I've got going on, I had to share a couple of pics with you. Tomorrow(Wednesday) I'll be over at For The Love sharing tips on what I did & the sources & cost of wrapping these gifts, so you'll have to make sure to stop by & check it out. I did want to give you a little sneak peek & a little shout out here to whet your appetite. I want to give We R Memory Keepers a little shout out for the black glitter paper on the gift tags. They were generous to give me a bunch of glitter flocked paper a while back, but I've been hesitant to use it all up. I thought using it for the gift tags would be the perfect little bling touch to my holiday wrappings! I found this black velvet & white wallpaper in my stash (I love!) that seemed so perfect with the combo of papers I've been using. AND, I found some rustic hand-dyed paper that I made back in my college bookbinding days. It makes for the perfect manly wrapping for Christmas. I hope y'all have the happiest of holidays this season filled with lots of loved ones, good food & safe travel!
