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!

Don't mind me. I just randomly remembered that tod Don't mind me. I just randomly remembered that today is my 15th year BLOGIVERSARY! Yes 15 years ago today I pressed "Publish" on my first blog post, where I planned to only showcase crafts and home decor projects without ever showing my face.

Even though a lot has changed since then (got married, had 2 kids, moved homes twice) at the core of it all, I'm still the same creative, crafty person I've always been and I love the community of people I've found online over the years.

Thanks for following me along any length of time you've been here. I look forward to sharing more of my creative side with you!
