{ wrapping things up }

Whew! Most of my holiday to-dos are checked off the list and I'm actually able to enojoy a bit of the holiday magic amidst the holiday rush. Today, I'm off to find a few stocking stuffers and will then put the finishing touches on my gift wrapping. I opted for a super simple look this year--brown paper packaging with red and white accents. I do, however, love theses wraps-- courtesy of some flickr and blogging friends. Perhaps next year...

How about you? Do you have the holidays all wrapped-up yet?

    That satin bow & feather is to die for!

    I always try to get creative with the wrapping, but always end up just rushing through it, or remembering another gift to buy, or forgetting to include the gift receipt : )

    I'm much better with birthdays - I promise.

    I heavily relied on Martha Stewart's cookie boxes this year and I am putting all the baked goods together tomorrow night. It's funny, every year for the past 10 years I give his family hat boxes or other filled with baked goods all wrapped and I do that at night, only with a little light and the tree lights on and Christmas music while he tests the "rejects". After that we go light up the street. I would not trade the feeling of being Santa's little elf!!

    All the packages idea are gorgeous! Excellent taste!

    Merry Christmas to you and your family!

    So pretty!

    Evan and I are about to sit down and wrap everything. We are hours away from that satisfying feeling of tying the final bow. :)

    Happy, happy holidays!
