Great packaging and great for the soul!

Heleen from Ruby in the Dust won our first giveaway which I thought was very exciting!

The tags - I love them!

This tutorial comes from one of my favourite blogs Creature Comforts.

Christmas gift wrapping tip one

In the lead up to Christmas I thought I would post some holiday gift wrapping ideas.


Tip One: You can gift wrap without paper!


I picked up these lovely pouches from Jennie from A Little Vintage yesterday and thought these would make a great gift wrap - reusable as a wrap or as an extra gift for your friends or family members.

Just think how lovely these would look all lined up under the tree. Like Candy!


Enjoy

And the winner is - drum roll please

Heleen from Ruby in the Dust!
