This year, I have been wanting to use craft paper to wrap my gifts. Simple + pretty.
I saw somewhere on the webs a picture of craft paper wrapped gifts and tied with yarn. I got to wrapping yesterday and am quite pleased with the results. I don't think the chevron gift tag in the photo above quite matches.....:)
How is your Christmas shopping coming along? I am half-way done and of the gifts I have left, I know exactly what I want to buy. I think I may head out this afternoon and get everything finished!
I also wanted to pass along a discount code if you are a reader of Beneath My Heart. [hint, hint] Traci is such a sweetheart. [That's why I advertise with her.]
Also, Danielle did a product review for me and you can read about it here. I love my garlands. Several weeks ago, I visited a local antiques store and came out with some treasures of books. I can't wait to dig into them and make something beautiful. I'm just a bit hesitant that I don't mess up a very good thing.
Lastly, I have some blog buds that are coming to visit in a few weeks. Excited + nervous + happy + excited. :)

Beautiful! I like that you used multiple colors of yarn!
I really like the simplicity of the packages!
Hey! My sister and I are going to go visit a blog friend in a couple of weeks...what a funny coincidence. ;)
:) Luv it "Brown paper packages tied up with string..." Now I dare you nt to sing the rest! I'm done with my Christmas shopping & sent them off to my family last week. Tuesday I have friends coming over to exchange gifts :)
This is gorgeous! I love it and think the chevron matches perfectly :)
I use parcel paper every year to wrap my gifts. I sometimes poly-block or block print the paper to give it more of a Christmasy feel, but this year I used brown string and I popped on a hand printed tag in a holly shape to add a little Christmas touch. I love how traditional it looks and every year people love it! It's nice to know I am not the only one using basic brown paper and making it look pretty.
