a wrapping wednesday

this might make me sound like a lame-o, but one of my favorite things to do is wrap gifts. when i was younger, i used to play "gift wrap store" and my dad would "place orders" for me to wrap gifts for him for family members, friends, co-workers. i even had a cash register y'all...#nerdalerttimesseveni love the final presentation. the way a gift is wrapped and presented just says a lot about the amount of time and thought that went into it.what can i say, i just love pretty packages tied up with string! :)  yes please. black kraft paper and white chalk marker. sign me up.

 patterned paper isn't just for scrapbookers! :) i love how the paper ribbons are so simlar but just enough different.

 ever wonder what to do with your paper grocery bags? wrap with some cute twine, or stamp with a pretty holiday image, or use washi tape to attach a card or note. you're golden and green!

 i also love adding "extras" to the package, like this super fun bracelet! it's just one extra place to add a little something extra for the person you're giving to!
