Christmas came early this year ~ Guest Post at CCC

By Marianne@Songbird on November 20, 2010

Hello friends, how are you doing? Me? I am slightly confused. Around this time of year my sense of time and season gets warped. Outside it looks like Fall, inside I am ready for winter. My heart wants to start the Christmas decorating but my head says “ no, you have to wait for Sinterklaas to leave first”. And this year it was even worse, but a good worse.

 

Christmas Wrapping Ideas 6

 

Because Angie from the Country Chic Cottage, asked me if I would participate in her Christmas Gift-o-Rama over at her blog. And how could I refuse such a sweet question.

So I have been wrapping Christmas gifts all week.

 

 

I came up with a Vintagy/thrifty/use-what-you-have style for my wrapping. It involves my favorite materials paper, doilies and bling-bling.

Hop on over to the Country Chic Cottage to see more…….

And I’d love to hear, here or over there what you think……

 

Love,

    Ik heb vorig jaar een envelop (met een boekencheque) op deze manier versierd voor mijn zus en moeder. Het zag leuk uit, maar was niet half zo mooi als jou kadoverpakking.
    Prettig weekend!

    I love it all! Craft paper is my wrapping of choice and I scored several doilies at a yard sale this summer…I've got Christmas gifts covered this year! Thanks!

    Pun intended,
    Jami

    Ik vind ze prachtig! De kerststemming wil er bij mij nog helemaal niet inkomen, maar dat ligt waarschijnlijk aan de drukte op mijn werk.
    Een hele fijne en gezellige zondag! – Irma

    wow – i love your choice of wrapping. I have lace and crochet doilies as well but I'm far too selfish to use them and just love looking at them lol so I might try the paper kind instead- thanks for the lovely ideas xx

    What a clever way to use a doily to wrap a gift! The wrapping become a gift in it self, two gifts in one! /Therese
