Well hello there….hope you are doing well. Snow is falling here…so it feels like the festive season is official:)  I had intended to post on my holiday decor but alas I am not quite ready and have yet to take pictures (hopefully tomorrow). I think its safe to say the Christmas chaos has officially begun! I bet this post has many of you knee deep in wrapping paper, tape and ribbon…..and playing Santa’s wrapping elf!<\/p>\n

 I do love wrapping gifts but have to admit so far I have only wrapped one (maybe that’s because that is all I have bought so far:) But many things have been ordered and I will be looking for daily visits from the big brown truck.  This post is therefore quite timely I would imagine for many of us.<\/p>\n

My 35 ways to rock a Christmas present<\/a> post last year was incredibly popular. I still get tons of visits to it and see many images from it on Pinterest so an encore felt appropriate. Let’s face it….when you aren’t under pressure, wrapping a gift can be such fun. A great way to make something special feel extraordinary. Who doesn’t love to receive a beautifully packaged gift, I know I do (hint hint to any of my family members reading this:)<\/p>\n

I got many ideas from this post and I think if you take away one thing, it should be that even with simple objects like pine cones, a few sprigs of greenery and a pretty ribbon, you can make a gift look magical! Do you have any tried and true gift wrapping secrets? Do tell….. <\/p>\n
