Getting My Wrap On....

Last night, amidst the whirr of the fans and much water drinking and sweating (I do live in Georgia now and it has NOT got the memo that it's December), I sat my pregnant butt on the the floor and got to wrapping gifts.
I had two funky balls of yarn, stamps and some packing paper that was left over from our move, and I got to work.

Now, I had a vision....


and a husband (who finally came home from work) who I wrangled into helping with the stamping...


but sadly, this husband of mine did not share said vision and many gifts ended up looking like he was involved in some sort of stamping dare to make them all random...


don't get me wrong, I love them, and the fact that he helped...


but I would suggest never letting a man loose with a set of stamps.


He might get a little too creative--behold....


dare you to read it and figure out what it says ;)

Now, last night I didn't think it was so funny (it was hot AND 11pm... and maybe I'm a little bit pregnant) but this morning I woke up and grinned from ear to ear at the beauty of his randomness. I know I'll cherish these pictures forever! 
Sometimes it's better if we just let the reigns go....

Speaking of letting go...


Ahhhh the dead tree, what a beauty :)
So many lights, so much deadness.... such a fire hazard.



Love these wedding bells! We got them in England the year we got married and I love them! Coming up on 8 years of marriage this Tuesday... crazy!


I got this angel in Grenada, LOVE this one!


and these vintage ones, got them at an estate sale back in NJ... Oh NJ garage sales, how I miss you...

Last but not least, my lovely felt garland. 


The tree may be dead, but I still love it :)

Well, you and I definitely do not wrap in the same way. Mine is some cheap paper and throw on a bit of ribbon if they are lucky, and maybe a plastic bow. Done. My family is so lucky.
You, however, get your craft on, no matter what you are up to! LOVE your wrapping, LOVE the stamping, and LOVE Zach's Aub-meist present. Can I just say--this would NEVER happen in my house, so just be thankful that he was willing to help you. That's all I'm saying ;) Good job, Jack-hey!
