Wrapping Week 2016: Simple Lattice Gift Wrap

December 21, 2016 By Katrina

Wrapping Week 2016: Simple Lattice Gift Wrap

This wrapping idea was 100 percent inspired by pie. That’s totally normal, right? I made a pretty lattice pie crust at Thanksgiving this year, and I’ve been jonesing for a repeat ever since. Of course, ribbon isn’t nearly as delicious as a butter-flour-sugar combo, but the process was nearly identical.

It’s Wrapping Week 2016, Y’all!

Happy almost Christmas! Are your cookies baked? Gifts ordered? Everything wrapped?!? I’ve been counting the days until Beany’s school break, and now that it’s finally here, we’re in full-on Christmas mode. Woo hoo! Both kids are super duper excited, making gifts, constructing (and deconstructing) gingerbread houses and writing letters. They’ve visited with Santa twice this…

Cupcake Trees

Cupcake Trees

There are so many fun things already around your house that you can use to wrap presents, and I think these cupcake trees are a fun example of that. Cupcake liners, paper straws and baker’s string — that’s all you need!

Paint and Sharpie Trees

Paint and Sharpie Trees

For the past year, pretty much any painting Beany does turns into some version of pink on pink. We have pink landscapes, pink rainbows and lots and lots of pink girls. This calls for a steady stream of pink paint, of course, because a proper pink painting requires varying shades. According to the master, “Pink…

Little Pink Riding Hood and the Little Wolf

Happy almost Halloween, everyone! We’re getting ready for a candy-filled weekend around here. This year for Halloween, Beany went back and forth about what she wanted to be before landing on Little Red Riding Hood. Then, because she’s almost 4 and totally awesome, she decided on her own that Little Pink Riding Hood was a much…
