Wedding Video!

I've had this for a long time now, and I'm finally getting around to sharing it!  Our amazing friends over at High Rise Studio put together a little "trailer" of our wedding - we absolutely love it!  Also, in case you haven't seen the photos of our wedding, you must visit the incredibly talented Jamie Delaine's blog (we are also featured on her website!)

Christmas Gift Wrapping!

I recently had an opportunity to do a little presentation on how to wrap your Christmas gifts for the Divine Dessert Night at my church.  I thought I'd give a little summary here of the ideas I shared.  Of course, the ideas are not my own (although the wrapping job is) - bet you can't guess where I went for ideas!  (Pinterest of course!)  

It's not too hard to add a little extra love to your wrapping this year!  

Tier it up with pretty paper:


Pick one print and use it everywhere (see how I did this for my gifts last year):


Use nature - pine cones, cedar branches, cranberries (or cinnamon sticks!):


Just go crazy with the curly ribbon (note: shipping paper is the most inexpensive way to wrap, and easy to accessorize!  Plus, most shipping paper rolls have double the amount of paper as a regular roll of gift wrap):


Paper snowflakes (hint: iron it out on low to make it nice and smooth!):


Leftover lace/tulle:


For smaller gifts - old sheet music!  (and if you can't bear to rip out a page, photocopy it!):


Eco-Chic magazine wrap with matching bow:


I received lots of comments on this one!  Cut paint chips into shapes as gift tags (bonus: it's free!):


Make yarn pom poms (you can find lots of tutorials online if you search around - so simple!):


So there you go!  Happy wrapping :)
