Today we're talking gift wrap! For years I avoided gift wrap - I found it useless. Well, it sort of is because you just throw away what you wrapped it up in. But, as I age, I realize it's not so bad. It's fun to have something pretty to look at - even if only temporarily!
So, I want to show you some great ideas for wrapping, along with some fantastic gift wrap stations AND as an added bonus I will be giving you some beautiful gift tags, too, that coordinate with the gift lists I gave you a few weeks ago!

My daughter LOVES to wrap - so she gets to do most of my wrapping. It's not perfect - but at 7 3/4 {she's sure to make sure you know she's ALMOST 8} she could spend hours down in our basement wrapping presents! Enjoy the gift tags!
