My Eco-Xmas Wrap

Trying to be eco-friendly I wrapped some of my gifts in Newspaper.


The first came out so cute. The paper fell in just the perfect way to put Santa right on the front!!


The Next one needed a little help. I just took a piece of t-shirt material left over from making a Loop-Tee-Do, wrapped it around and tied a quick knot.


For the 2 smaller gifts I wanted to use a colorful bow. I found this great Tutorial using recycled magazines online at How About Orange and they came out GREAT!


I am very happy with the way they came out. I actually did them a couple of days ago. I have been waiting to take pictures for this post but the rain and clouds won't go away. So I went ahead and took the pictures in my dark house and they turned out fine.

What have I been doing

Sorry I haven't been posting.
I have been adding to my shop and to my shop's facebook page. I have also been selling at 2 craft fairs. I discovered that I can work and get some holiday shopping done at the same time.
Even scored some gifts for the husband at a silent auction for half price!

Speaking of Holiday shopping, I hit the mall for the first time this week and discovered that it doesn't open until 10!!!! WTH! Puts a damper on doing my shopping while bear is in School (9-11). Good thing his gifts are almost done. Now I just have to remember not to buy any "from Santa" gifts while he's with me. hmmmm
