With the days whittling away before Christmas is here, I figured it was time to start wrapping… and oh what fun it was. I wanted to have a bit of vintage feel to the gifts this year. With my brown paper, music playing and a warm fire to accompany me, I got right to it.

Jenny in Utah says
The packages look lovely – I will be wrapping in secret at my mom’s in a few days – I’m not so excited about that part – but I love your gift tags – those are very funky!
antoinette marie says
i love it! i did the same one year but used stamps of red and green and colored raffia to tie them off. looked like they came right out of ‘little house on the prairie.’ merry CHRISTmas!

Very nice job! And also I think you’re very clever, I never would’ve thought to take a picture of the stuff used to wrap presents, but they tell the story – I like ’em!! 🙂
Sweet Pea Chef says
I love the paper. Here’s a silly question: Where did you buy the paper? I have never bought brown paper for mailing.
Makes me think of “Favorite Things” from Sound of Music.

Love those shots! I like the look of brown paper. I did that a few years ago and used evergreen sprigs and raffia….might have to do that again. Your shots reminded me of how beautiful they were.

Andrea says
Happy SITS day to you! I was intrigued by a post farther down where you said you were now part of the auto industry and then found out you’re in Michigan! I am as well, but from the west side of the state although my family is more the east side (my dad is part of the auto industry as well but I’m sure in a much different way since I doubt you’re a factory worker.) =)

Oh, those pictures are absolutely yummy… they make me want to sing…

First…congrats on being featured SISta blog! The pics are beautiful and your blog is very inspiring….I must say, at my age…the one thing I dread the most now on getting prepared for Christmas is “wrapping”! 🙂
But, maybe a glass of wine, some snacks and music would help me get “inspired”!
xo…deb

Izzy 'N Emmy says
Such beauty in wrapping! I love the brown paper and have looked everywhere for something like that. Where did you find it?
blueviolet says
I’ve never seen a picture of a Christmas tree more lovely. I want to live there.
Tiffany T says
Oh you are beautifully creative. You would be embarrassed by my wrapping technique. I have been known to use aluminum foil in a pinch, and I once wrapped a present with Baby Shower paper for a Wedding Shower. Shameless… I know :).
