GIFTING


There's nothing like the relief of getting all these gifts bought and wrapped! Well... most of them. I'm still waiting on a few packages in the mail (and hoping that they'll arrive on time!!), then I'm finally done with all the gifting! 

This year, it was definitely a challenge coming up with creative gifts, but I think I did better this year than the last, and I finished my shopping earlier this time! That meant I had more time to wrap presents, so I tried to DIY a couple of things for my gift exchange, and it took a whole lot more effort than imagined. 

I suppose I didn't really have the right tools, (chalk markers weren't the best choice for this project, and ya gotta do with what ya got), but it was fun nonetheless and made for a very personal gift, especially when it came to the calligraphy wrapping! Maybe I'll try it again next year after I buy a proper paintbrush and some white paint. In the end, I ended up wrapping my gifts with Costco pre-printed paper.
