D is for (Package) Decorations

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

Yep, it's Alphabe Thursday on Friday, and it's going to be a short and sweet. Anyone who has received a gift from me in the past few years knows that I am notoriously lazy when it comes to wrapping presents. I'm not very good at it, and I hate that most wrapping paper ends up right in the garbage. It seems like such a waste. So typically I buy a pack of tissue paper, stuff presents into old gift bags and shopping bags, write recipient names on leftover card making paper scraps, and call it good.

I put a lot of effort into the gifts themselves (is it a surprise that I always make a number of gifts?), and needless to say, the wrapping doesn't reflect that effort. So I'm stepping it up this year and going with a "brown paper packages tied up with string" theme that includes reusable decorative items and fun little goodies, like candy and ornaments. The following reveals just a little taste of what's to come. I will do my best to get some pictures of my wrapped presents later this month.
