Brown paper packages tied up with string

A little late to begin shopping and wrapping presents? Never! To be honest, I have not done ANY shopping this year. I get sort of scared when I go Christmas shopping. My family's lists are not so easy to cross off because....ahem...they have no lists. Dad says he likes " gadgets" Mom never says, and KJ says he doesn't want to ask for any of the stuff he wants because its all so expensive!

So what does that leave me with? Not a whole lot.

But! I (or mom) have something for KJ already! I decided to make the wrapping simple but sweet. Not of course, that he would care (or even notice!) But I wanted it to be a little homemade wrapping that made at least me happy.

So here is what I came up with....

Now, I don't know about you, but I think this is pretty stinkin' cute. Yarn is so versatile! I was shaving the pom pom all through grammar. Creighton says if I keep it up, the thing will be bald by Christmas! And he's probably right too.

And look, Christian left KJ a special message on the bottom! I'm guessing he won't even notice, so good thing I photographed it.
And there it is under our still undecorated tree. I actually like it undecorated. Maybe a few would be nice, but it makes the tree so much more of a focal point without all that junk on it.

How are you wrapping your presents this year? Are you trying anything new? Let me know, I would love to see!

Xoxo, have a wonderful and fabulous Thursday!

Wouldn't it be nice?

Wouldn't it be nice if I had a lifetime supply of lip gloss?

Or lotion? Or Hand Sanitizer? Or body butter and perfume and shower gel?

You bet it would!

There is a box in our living room for me. It's big enough. And it's bulging. And it's from Bath and Body works. Sadly, I have to wait until my birthday to open it. But it gives me a lot of time to guess about what's in it. To shake it and smell it and speculate.

And...its BIRTHDAY WEEK! Three cheers for our family's awesome tradition. You are so envious. I know it.
