Gift giving.

Most people hate wrapping gifts.  They stay up late into the night on Christmas Eve because they've put it off until the last possible moment.  For me, wrapping—ok, maybe not the actual cutting and taping—is half the fun of gift giving.  I love paper, ribbon, raffia, string, tags, bells, anything I can think of to make a present even more special.

This Christmas I went simpler than usual.  Brown paper, boxes, and bags.  String.  Red, white, and aqua blue paper tags.  A few clay tags here and there.  Still lovely to my eyes.

I gave a few batches of my homemade laundry soap.  

I made labels...

...and tags.

Sorry for the crappy photos.  I only had one afternoon to take them and it was a dark, rainy day.

Stay tuned tomorrow to find out what's inside those boxes!
