Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. ~ John Keats

Wrapping It All Up!




Now that I've accomplished some Christmas Shopping... I figured I better start wrapping these gifts....I'm trying to avoid that Christmas wrapping backache.. Has anyone else ever gotten that? 

I found some beautiful gift wrap inspiration & thought I would share!



I've always loved this look.. Wrap the box then attach the ribbon.. Layering the ribbon looks so pretty & attaching an inexpensive  piece of costume jewelry...




Beautiful!




Attaching a Christmas ornament they can hang on their tree...






  I ♥ this one! Placing the gift in a reusable box!




Another ornament idea...



Fresh or Silk Flowers & Greenery! So Beautiful!



Inexpensive Christmas balls & garland...




I think Children would love this one... Jingle Bells.. I'm afraid we might be looking for a hiding place for them after a few minutes though... Nah... We wouldn't do that...  would we? LOL

 Well.. I guess I better get started with the wrapping!  

Hope all of you have a Beautiful week!


Blessings ~  T ♥

    Hi Teresa! I need to get going on both my wrapping and my shopping! My mom is coming over to babysit tomorrow so I can sneak away for a few hours without fighting the weekend shopping crowd! These packages are all so lovely...great inspiration!!

    Teresa, I love that layered ribbon look in that second image - I never thought of brown and green for Christmas but it looks lovely.

    Hi T! All my shopping is done - hooray! I'll probably do my wrapping the first of next week. I actually love wrapping, but yes, I have had that bachace (and bottom-side ache) from wrapping presents, sitting cross-legged on the floor!

    Hi Teresa,
    thank you sooooo much for sharing such a precious gift wrapping inspiration. Love them all but the burgundy wrap with costume jewelry added to the ribbons is undoubtfully my fave. Will definitely steal the idea!

    Hi Teresa.....My husband always does the wrapping in our house. I get it all organized and sort what goes to which person..He does insist on sitting at a table, however. I love your flocked tree! I love the look of snow on a tree!~Patti
