Christmas wrapping theme for 2012
This year I went to the Container store and bought the most beautiful angel paper and all the ribbon, tags and stuff to match. However, when I checked out, I think my heart stopped beating as the price was so high I thought I was going to die.
My friend talked me into taking it back and getting my wrapping supplies some place else. My heart broke a little as I returned it but I know it was for the best. Heck, who spends more on the wrapping then they do the actual gift?
So my whole theme was changed. I went to the stores and couldn't really find anything I loved like I did the paper I returned.
I settled on a red and silver theme. We have a lot of red in our decorations so it fit in perfectly.
The photos show that there is a lot of white in the wrapping but it's really all silvers. Some shinny, some not.
There is a a lot of glitter in both the paper and ribbons. Though the glitter doesn't really show up either in the photos.
I went with really simple bows this year too. I've been sick and just wasn't up to spending hours making big bows.
I had forgot to buy matching tags so I used what we had. Most had the same color theme so they were fine.
I think they all look pretty as they are all piled up waiting for everyone to open them.
I want to wish everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope Santa is good to all of you!
Really pretty! We found some really good wrapping paper at Hobby Lobby. About 7.99 a roll, but you got A LOT on a roll. It will last a few years, I think.
