It’s Wrapping Week 2016, Y’all!

December 20, 2016 By Katrina

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…

That means five new wrapping ideas, five days…

Wrapping Week 2014: Magic wands

Wrapping Week 2014: Magic wands

It seems like every year for Wrapping Week, I plan and buy supplies for four ideas and then end up making the last one pretty last minute, pieced together from the scraps and bits left behind by the first four presents of the week. Some years it works out better than others, but I think…

Wrapping Week 2014: It’s Sharpie time!

Wrapping Week 2014: It’s Sharpie time!

I love wrapping presents, and I can get almost as jazzed about the outside of a pretty package as a I can about what’s on the inside, but I know not everyone wants to spend a precious Saturday in December trying to construct the perfect paper bow or wrapping yarn just so. There are trees…

Wrapping Week 2014: Finger paint Frosty!

Wrapping Week 2014: Finger paint Frosty!

Holidays have always been a big deal in our house, but now that we have a 3-year-old who’s hitting her holiday-loving stride, it only feels fitting to kick things up a notch. This year for Halloween, we visited a pumpkin patch, where Beany picked out a teeny tiny pumpkin she named Spookley. After a decorative…

Wrapping Week 2014: Paper and yarn

Wrapping Week 2014: Paper and yarn

I’ve talked before about my high school days as a Mod Podge-wielding miscreant. Just kidding, just kidding! I was super well behaved, but I did slap Mod Podge on just about anything that didn’t move. Anyway, my friends and I did tons of scrapbooking back then — like the hard copy, paper-and-sticker-embellishments kind — and…

‘Tis the season — for Wrapping Week!

There are only 19 days left until Christmas! Wahoo! And do you know what that means? I have a pile of gifts in need of some love and wrapping paper. I bet you do, too! So in keeping with holiday tradition, Wrapping Week 2014 is coming soon! Starting Monday, I’ll have five days of fun wrapping…

Wrapping Week 2013: O Tannenbaum

Wrapping Week 2013: O Tannenbaum

Well, we started the week with Beany’s favorite wrapping project, and we’re ending the week with Jared’s, though I’m not sure whether it’s his favorite because he loves how it looks or because he had a hand in the process. I originally planned to break pencils into small pieces, glue those together to make the…

Wrapping Week 2012: Boy Likes Bike

Wrapping Week 2012: Boy Likes Bike

As Wrapping Week comes to a close, I thought I’d wrap things up by giving a nod to the sole guy in our house, the one who’s slightly less enthused than the rest of us by (though incredibly tolerant of) the overflowing bows, ribbons and gets-everywhere glitter that have spent the past four days covering…

Wrapping Week: Thanks, Martha. Your punches are peachy.

December 14, 2011 By Katrina

When it comes to personalized wrapping, simple ideas can go a long way. This crafty take on holiday packaging was inspired by a walk down one of the Martha Stewart aisles at Michael’s (have you spent much time looking at all the craft-tastic doodads she has there?!? It’s crazy!). I fell in love with an…
