It's a Wrap!

Little things in life bring me more joy than to watch my lil' one's sleepy face light up and gasp at each gift she unwraps every christmas morning...except for beautifully wrapped christmas gifts,  then I am very likely to be the one gasping! I think a gift wrap can tell as much as the gift itself how much love, effort and detail has been put into choosing and giving it. I love when people take the time to carefully wrap their gifts and use distinctive materials such as heavy craft paper, washi tape, twine and get all crafty and pinteresty for the holidays. I've come across the most wonderful gift wrapping ideas on the web and wanted to share some of them with you. As much as I'd like to be done by now, I am still a couple of gift-wrapping marathons away from finishing my wrapping and giving. 

My wonderfully talented artist friend Virginia Franco recently shared her latest Paper Lab Art Studio creations for the holidays, and I instantly fell in love with these gift tags! Each a unique design, they are handcrafted with love, filled with the cutest characters of this busy creative Mommy. You can order your personalized designs with your family's names, color scheme and the theme you choose. These also make great gifts for giving year-round!
