Hard to believe how fast a month can go by! Between working more hours and being sick (early spring in Western New York means more pollen!) the time has flown by.

Are You Ready? It's Time to Wrap It Up!

Hope you are ready for holiday gift giving! Have you wrapped all of your gifts?

If not you might consider some non-traditional ways to "wrap".

Consider cookie tins, tote bags, colorful shoe boxes or candy boxes as containers.

Or as alternatives to wrapping paper use fabric remnants, dinner napkins, glossy magazine pages, scrapbook paper scraps and newspapers.

Time to Wrap It Up!


Last minute goodies to wrap yourself and your gifts in style!

What alternatives to traditional wrapping do you use? I would love to hear about (and see photos) how you simplify the gift wrapping process.

Happy wrapping!
Enjoy!

Everything You Need for a Cozy Winter Evening

As we settle in to colder winter weather, I've gathered together a few things for a cozy winter evening.

First, a warm fire.

Next, you need a comfy chair or rocker.

Then, a soft throw, warm slippers and a cushy footstool.

Slippers from WoolyBaby

You might also want something warm to drink, a snack to munch on and engaging books to read. I've compiled this treasury of wonderful items to create such an evening.

Another Cozy Winter Evening

How would you stay warm on a cold winter evening? Which items would you include for a comfy evening at home?

Enjoy and stay warm!
