Christmas, Christmas, time is near!

Christmas is such a great time of year!  I get to be creative almost everyday in preparation for Christmas.  Well this evening I finished wrapping all of my presents.  I think that how you wrap the gift is just as important as what you give.  Who doesn't get excited to get a gift that is wrapped really pretty?  I feel it makes whatever is inside even better.  

This year my theme was Christmas lights, my Christmas cards had lights on them (next post will show what they looked like).  Who knew that I would be able to find Christmas light ornaments?  Target is so great.  So attached to the center of the bow I tied a couple of ornaments and viola! A fantastic looking Christmas present!  

I got the wrapping from both the Container store as well as target, the ribbon I got from Michaels, and the ornaments are from Target which I got on sale.  Over all it was not expensive to wrap all of my gifts (especially if you have coupons)  And it looks far better than a plain old boring bow found on most gifts.  There is something about putting thought into a gift that people just love.

For my To and From tags I found a stamp and stamped the image on a round label sticker.  Simple and looks great!

This green and pink gift was for my friend Katie.  I found this great green wrapping paper from The Container Store and used some ribbon on hand.  Her favorite color is pink so it was perfect for her!

Tomorrow night I will post my Christmas cards, they were very fun to create since this year I made them completely from scratch with my fantastic Mac that I bought for myself for  Christmas last year.
