For the love of packaging

in Celebrations, Christmas, Crafts & DIY

Tuesday, after a long drive and some unexpected traffic, I came home to a few Christmas Cards, a package I ordered in the mail from Two Peas and another surprise package on our doorstep. When I opened the surprise gift I found this ADORABLY packaged item:

I had to take a picture to document this wrapping. kraft paper + silver ties + silver glittered letters = love!

Inside I found this warm and fuzzy throw blanket from West Elm:

It was a little engagement gift from my VERY thoughtful dear friend Carrie! I couldn’t wait to cuddle with D while watching some American Horror Story this week! :)

But the fun didn’t stop there. I took the XO letters from the gift wrap, attached them with a few glue dots, added a Jolee’s holly sticker and turned it into this fun ornament for our Christmas tree!

Recycling at it’s best!
