It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like.... Well, You Know....

While our little beach cottage isn't decorated to the nines for the Holidays, 

I decided that the gifts we are sending out this year SHOULD be! 

As usual I hit the dollar store & wallys for wrapping supplies -
seriously, I just can't see spending a fortune on stuff that gets tossed out.
When it comes to wrapping, it's about how it LOOKS, not what it COST.

Happy red paper (it says 'naughty or nice?') a few solid red foil bags,

and some white styro snowflakes were all I used.

I made the tags from white cardstock, cut & lined in red pen, 

then used red stickers to spell out each recipient's name. Easy-Peasy!
{They also pack flat, which I had to do for the big box that went to Texas,
so the snowflakes made a nice 'bow substitute'.}

Grandson Numbah One gets a few...

Yes, he's spoiled. ;0)

His gifts are actually for him to use at Grampy & Grammy's house!

(He has TWO rooms full of toys at home. Seriously.)

In our family, we adults draw names on Thanksgiving for an ornament exchange.

I drew our daughter Beth, and found the PERFECT ornament for her!

{ no, it does NOT have anything to do with moving boxes }

New Lil' Man, Grandson Numbah Three,
has been spoiled with gifts for the past six months, pre-arrival,

so he gets a little something special for the season. ;0)

NEXT year, he'll join the ranks of his spoiled cousins!

Grandson Numbah Two Jameson down in Texas 

will get his box of gifts in the next few days.

I tried to wrap myself and climb into the box,

but it weighed too much for the Post Office to accept. :0(

The present GRAMMY really wants? 

All of them together, here in Washington, in our house, next Christmas!
