Unique and Creative Ideas for Wrapping Holiday Gifts

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. Even though it was a difficult one after Fridays horrible event, I consciously took the much-needed time to slow down to truly enjoy the simple and small moments with my family I hope you got to do the same. I, like many of you probably did, watched the news and the memorial services and felt so sad. It is heart wrenching to see innocent children and heroic teachers taken from this earth way too early. As a parent to a child that is the same age as those no longer here, its unfathomable to comprehend the pain that is felt by all the families, friends, and community. My prayers, thoughts, and condolences go out to all that were affected.

Its hard to believe Christmas is only a week away. Whether youre still in the midst of the shopping frenzy or are completely finished, its almost time to wrap.

I love pretty, colorful designs on wrapping paper, but often cant bring myself to buy uber pricey paper since it usually ends up torn and in the trash. Its kind of a waste of money dont you think? Yet, I think the wrapping can be just as special as the present. So what do you do? Well, be creative and wrap up a pretty package that is unique and personal, but doesnt cost a bundle.
