time to get out the paper........traditional holiday wrapping, brown craft, the comics section from the sunday paper, recycled brown grocery bags, freezer paper, computer printer, colored tissue, torn apart catalogs, etc......
and the ribbons........traditional ribbon on the spool, twine, jute, raffia, thin strips of colored paper, thin strips of torn fabric, burnt out strands of lights, fabric ribbon, lace, grosgrain, yarn, etc......
and the tape, scissors, gifts to wrap, a nice mug of hot chocolatey happiness, holiday music, and your favorite wrapping buddy......

Yep it is!!! I have a few more to wrap myself!
I am heading over to your etsy shop. I am really liking the journal I spy on your sidebar.
Have fun wrapping!
Still have lots to do and a tummy bug caught me yesterday! UGH! Going to try and get myself together and finish wrapping the gifts. Pray this will be just a lil bug and leave quickly!
Have a very blessed Christmas.
hugs,
Tara
Oh ok now you have me in the mood...think I will go and wrap the rest of the gifts! Just a few more days to get ready and I do have a few more things to do!! oxoxo
Oh and PS---Loved the video!!
about to start wrapping now; have a great monday.
I am almost done wrapping, but most had to be mailed, so didn't have a choice!! Love to wrap with really different papers and such. I wrapped one little package with sheet music and tied with red twine. It was so pretty!! Thanks for the info. about the paper cutter...going shopping today so will see if Wallyworld has one. Merry Christmas!
I bet your presents look AMAZING! I can't wait for my mom to open her present! You sent it so beautifully wrapped, I left it the way it came! =0)
Lori, your picture there has inspired me to wish I could reach in and rip the paper off that box! What did you give me??? :D

BTW, I started a second blog - recipes only! Stop by my place for the address if you are interested.
Merry Christmas!
Yep.... that is on my list as well. It is time to get started on the wrapping task.
i've got 'santa's' work done... finally. now on to the rest! :-)
Aside from finding the right gifts for my family, wrapping gifts is my favorite part of the holiday. I LOVE paper. I LOVE ribbons.
Enjoy your wrapping!
Lori...Your cuteness and always cheery ways are so inspiring!...And what a pretty photo! I wish I could come to your wrapping party! ;) I've been baking all day and it's not going as well as I thought it would! I made up this gigantic batch of chocolate chip cookie dough, and I'm mixing and mixing and mixing (I mean a BIG batch using my largest blender bowl) and I'm wondering why on earth the dough isn't really coming together. So I figure, okay, I'll just make these cookies really big like hamburger size...so I'm smooshing and pressing and I finally get one cookie tray in the oven. After I start smooshing together another batch, a light bulb goes off and I realize I forgot to add the four eggs to the cookie dough. I reread that recipe over and over too!.... How about you bake...and I'll wrap! hee hee hee! xoxo ;D
Could you please, with sugar-on-top, send your Elf over to wrap for me? Pleeeease?!
Oh my goodness!
I can only imagine how much fun you are having this time of year! So much creativity towards making gifts for love ones! I just know you are having a really good time!
Enjoy yourself! Those at the receiving end will be so appreciative of you! You are a really sweetheart of a person. We all know your giving is truly heartfelt and sincere :).
I love wrapping and ribbons...It's all in the presentation! Thank you for your beautiful card and well wishes, I shall save it and post it in my studio, I love your work!
I have a few things to still wrap. I love to put the Christmas music on and sing along as I wrap. Good luck with all your wrapping. I like your ideas around being creative with the wrapping and using items around the house...I've wrapped in brown paper bags and stamped Christmas creations on them. I love using jute instead of ribbon.
forgot to sign my name to my comment above ~ Hugs Lori ~

Even your gift wrapping session sounds cheerful. Your set-up is perfect (mega-choices of supplies, festive music,hot chocolate), and I hope that you enjoyed it all.
