I love wrapping packages as much as I love anything. Silver bells jingle ever so gently. Chocolate coins (found, at last) tuck under ribbons. Tea steams. This year, tiny Eiffel Towers are tied in place with green ribbon, rough twine. And then everything disperses, is sent on its way, leaving bits of real ribbon and paper behind.
It is my first year mailing most things. I tie packages with twine for carrying to the post office with the least amount of struggle. It is very cold. I pass cut trees on the street. Everything feels copper, everything green.

the felt! you're a wrapper after my own heart.
To be fair, those bastards at Anthro gave me this *particular* felt. But I have been known to concoct felten toppers myself, as well as wrap things in it. Mmmmmmm.
Bee-yoo-ti-full.
Thank you for the wrapping inspiration. Next year I will do better.
Wow. Beauteous.
oh, these pictures are divine...
Lovely.
Lovely lovely lovely.

Oh, you have lucky friends and family.
Amandar, you have simply the luckiest friends and families.
showoff.
wow, you're so fabulously crafty. the gifts look so pretty, i'd feel sad to open them.
Amanda--I love tying packages in twine and I also love wrapping presents in parchment. Hopefully I'll actually accomplish both of those tasks by Wednesday since I still have about half of my shopping left to do--yikes! Anywho, it was such a pleasure meeting you on Saturday. I'm so happy you came over to say hello and I actually just updated my post to include that little visitI It was definitely one of the highlights of my day:)
your pressies are so pretty!
isn't it so satisfying to see them all wrapped up together before you send them off to their future owners?
What gorgeous package wrapping! There is something so satisfying about giving a gift that you have wrapped with care and thought and creativity! (Found you via Lil Bee, btw!)
