Wrapping, Wrapping, Wrapping

I do love a neatly wrapped gift. I think of gift wrap as part of the gift. You can go pretty much anywhere on the internet and get great ideas how to wrap beautifully.

This is what the family out of town will receive.

The paper I got at Target, it's very glittery. I have glitter everywhere! I think I'll have glitter until Easter. The ornament & ribbon are from Hobby Lobby.

I made the tags, just simple cardstock I stamped.

For the girls!

Girlfriend gifts this year are the Atom Art Bowls from Anthropologie. They have the cutest gift wrap boxes. So instead of the glittery I went with a simple wrap, twine, a spig of greenery, a jingle bell and my handstamp tag.

Christmas Week-- House decorated

This bloggin thing is harder than I thought. I have so much to learn and haven't had the time to learn, let alone post stuff.

New Years' Resolution No. 1

Get on a schedule with the bloggin' thing. I've seen a blog where this lady posts only one day a week. I think I can commit to that.

New Years' Resolution No. 2.

Lose weight and get in shape...I am going to be 50 in 8 weeks..eeeek!

Back to the blog.

I know Christmas is coming, I see it all around me. But something is missing. My hubby. He's been gone for 3 mos. working at out state. I think he's been home a total of 11 days and 5 of those he was sick. Woes is me.. Actually I've had it easy, he's the one that has been working crazy hours, away from home. But I still feel like this Christmas is passing us by. Trying to snap out of it.

So here are some post from around the house.

Trees, trees, trees...it's really a sickness

Peacock, gotta have one on the tree.

Saw this on another blog and thought it would be perfect for my frame. If I knew how to link it up, I'd give her the credit. Thank you Dear Lillie wherever you are.

All dressed up for Christmas!
