gift wrapping & decor
Hello everyone! I’m really sorry about my lack of posting… things are very busy right now. I’ve had a friend who’s grandfather died, back-to-back meetings, helping with displays and other projects for the new church, and christmas decorating up the wazoo!
For some reason… I’ve already done a ton of wrapping. The thing is, all the packages are empty! I did about five or six rather large empty boxes that will be used as a prop for our sermon series about “presents/gifts” … of course it will be tied back to God. We’re not that materialistic! And the others I was inspired by Danielle to just wrap a few cute sized boxes under the tree so it doesn’t look so bare.
I have some awesome paper that I got from Ikea last weekend… it is so adorable. They have an incredible line… pretty much every color you can imagine. I’m also not afraid to shop at Big Lots to get affordable ribbon and other papers! Here’s what I’m using this season:



Now if money was no object, I pine after these beauties from TheContainerStore.



and so many more!
My problem with posting is for some reason it takes me so long to decide on which photos to post, and what you guys even care to see…. so as I was taking the wrapping paper, I also did some Christmas decor. I Hope you enjoy….

Pretty paper! I always just use whatever is leftover from the last 5 years. With my “moneypolice” husband I can’t spend unnecessary money so I learned to just make do. Your house makes me jealous, it’s so cute and put together! Want to come stain my fireplace bricks????
