Pieces of my Christmas Home

Decorating for Christmas is something I devote a whole day to, yet every year I keep it simple and sweet. My husband told me just a few days ago that our home looks the same every Christmas. That’s because I use the same ornaments and other little details every year. I never feel like spending a load of money every year to do something different. But I do shop around and buy extra little details on sale as Christmas draws to a close — for the next Christmas, of course. Does your Christmas decor change from year to year, or does it stay the same with a few extra new details? And yes, those frames below majorly need some photos in them since they’ve been sitting up on my mantle for nearly a year like that.

Gift Wrap – Leafy Greens

Filed Under : Gift Wrap + Packaging - Paper Projects

Last week’s gift wrap idea was a bright colored one — and while I dreaming that one up, I created another one that was more earthy styled. I filed it away, but this week decided, why not show it to you all? Kraft paper is my favorite right now, and everything seems to get wrapped in it these days. The same greens as last week got paired with brown eyelash string this time. Yep, you just can’t seem to go wrong with kraft and real greenery.
