Well... the hearts are gone...

The hearts have officially left the building.. 

but we have pictures 

to prove that they were here..

They showed up on presents...

for nieces..

In junior mint boxes.. 

possibly bought by oneself for oneself.. 

and not for sharing...

On garlands...

across fruit platters.. 

And sprinkled on whipped cream..

for dipping.. 

Now that the hearts are gone..

we will be searching for four-leaf clovers

and leprechaun foot prints.. 

hooray!  

Inspired Wrappings Part 2....

I do love me some good recycling projects.

But recycling/repurposing

is much more fun when it's really cute.

Sweet Paul featured some lovely wrappings 

that do just that.

I love the old book print...

I usually get my old books from

the little store inside the library..

they even have maps there which would make

lovely wrappings!

Another ingenious idea from Sweet Paul

was to make tags from pictures of your family.. 

I adore this..

I am well underway on my wrappings

or else I would do this immediately!

But it would be cute for a

special touch on a birthday gift too.

Happy Wrapping!

P.s. What are you doing this weekend?

I am dying to go to Unique La.. 

and we have to get our Christmas Tree too.. 

and probably some peppermint coffee!

Inspired Wrappings..

So Jealous Fridays.. 

have turned into Inspired Wrapping 

for the weeks of December.. 

because technically.. 

I'm still jealous of

these beautiful packages.. 

Here goes.. 

I am loving the felt accents right now

and they are turning up everywhere!

Design * Dump did a fabulous tutorial 

on felt gift adornments!

I am seriously buying felt this weekend!

Another tutorial was on Creature Comforts.. 

Gingerbread Cookie Ornaments..

They look good enough to eat!

Happy weekend everyone.. 

If I know one thing about my weekend is

that I am going to Urth Cafe' 

to get me some freakin awesome coffee!
