Wrapping with style


What is the art of gifts to be mailed?


I have gifts that need to be sent out of town.

I still want them to be pretty when they arrive, and know that I can't add the live green snippets or dimensional adornments that I would like.

So, I add cards to the front of the packages and prettier flat ties, such as twine or rickrack ribbon.


I try to use the same paper for each member of the family getting a gift.  That way, I don't forget to send something out in the mail!

Inside the wrapping paper, I usually use a double layer of  tissue to make it more special when it is being opened!  Sometimes 2 colors or a color and pattern.

Our homes say alot about who we are.     At this time of year, we make changes to accommodate our holiday furnishings.  We might do something big, like repaint a room, or just add some accessories to freshen things up.
