I am knee deep in wrapping paper, tape, and bows.
And I love it!
I hope you are enjoying your Christmas season!
{i actually do enjoy wrapping...i know that's weird but i do!}

Gift bag ideas

OK raise your hand if you are thrifty {coughcoughcheapcough} like me and hate to pay more than like $1 for gift bags??! 
They are out there if you look hard enough but inexpensive gift bags aren't around every turn.
So sometimes I resort to just making my own. 
And it does not have to take a lot of time!
{time is money, right??!}
Here are a couple of plain paper bags that I dressed up with some of the paper, stickers, & ribbon from the "Ribbon Candy" kit from Noel Mignon


Fold the top of the bag to close it.
Then all you need is hole punch & a little adhesive to attach everything to the bag. 
Punch 2 holes at the top and thread your ribbon through the holes. 
Decorate at will!


Cheap, easy, and cute!
Thanks for stopping by today.

Merry Christmas!

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas!!

Confession:
I still have lots of Christmas pictures from last year that I have not scrapped yet. 
But surely I am not the only one with that problem!
;)
The silver lining, though, is that I get to use the new "Ribbon Candy" kit from Noel Mignon to get them scrapped!
Boom!
******
Here is a picture of Lee with his mom, brother, & sister from last year's Christmas in Chattanooga. 


Sorry for the lack of detailed shots!
When it is dark when you leave for work and dark when you get home, there no good light for pics.
Oh well...first world problem!
:)
Have a great day folks and I hope your holidays are off to a great start!
