CHRISTMAS WRAPPED UP

 photo 131211_GiftWrapping_zps834fab0d.jpg In my head I've been trying to be more consistent with my posts of late, but I never seem to wind up for the week until Wednesday. As a natural night owl, I wonder if this is a correlation to days as well. Slow to start and then full steam ahead come Saturday! One day I'll do what the experts recommend and post 5 days a week. But this is life, this is real and this is how I'm rolling right now!

On a positive note though, I finally got stuck into my Christmas shopping earlier this week. Feels good to cross a few names off the list! I usually wrap my gifts in a theme or colour each year, sitting in front of the movie Elf. I'm really liking this idea from the latest copy of RealLiving magazine. Such a creative idea using garden plant tags for name tags…adding it to my ideas file!

Do you avoid the crowds and nail your shopping early, or do you enjoy the last minute amped up shopping vibes like me?

Are you all ready for Christmas? Food sorted? Gifts wrapped? No, me neither! But I'm getting there! While I like to focus more on the experience and relationships at Christmas, I do love buying and giving gifts.
I shared a super easy way to jazz up your Christmas gifts over on Design Mom. If you haven't checked out these easy Balsa wood gift tags, head on over the turorial. Get your kids involved, they'll love it!

And if you're still looking for some handmade touches at your place, here are a few crafts from Christmas pasts you might like - Christmas lights, clay place cards & hanging cookies

CHRISTMAS WRAPPING :: PINNED

Christmas Wrapping - Gold & White Christmas Wrapping - Kraft   Black Christmas Wrapping - White & Red Christmas Wrapping - Nature
I'm not one to fuel commercialism that starts Christmas prep in August, so I made a vow to myself to not 'pin' anything Christmas related till October. But now that October is already half way over...look out! (You can follow my Christmas board.)
I know there is still lots of 'fall' parties happening around my neck of the woods, and I am still working on a couple of project of this season to share with you, but I love Christmas! I'm already thinking colours, menu and decor. I love all these wrapping colour combo's...so many different flavours for the one season. Do you have a set theme for the Christmas in your home?
