I'm am FINALLY all done wrapping presents! WaHOOOOOO! I hated just having the gifts all sitting there and now I'm soooooo glad it's all done. Thanks to the hubs we cranked it all out in an evening.

You know how you have to set all the piles around to be sure it is kind of fair? Well, those piles sat around like that for a week. But I was babysitting Saturday so I had to get it all done Friday night!

Whew, I wonder what this will be like if our family gets any bigger! EEK!

I came across a few ideas that I liked for keeping it all in a theme. How about using thread for ribbon and attaching adornments? How cute is that? They just used plain colored papers too. Sometimes that is the most striking! Black and red paper!

This cute wrapping idea is from Older and Wiser blogspot. LOVE IT!

My daughter-in-law stamped everybody's name on their gifts and then added an
ornament for embellishment....these are just wrapped in brown paper! Cute!

Labels from My Sweet Prints
This is a cute idea for package labels I found and you can download and print them off free!

I love this idea using some old music paper and gold ribbon with jingle bells! I have TONS of old music books....maybe next year I'll do a music paper theme with different colors of ribbons....

Cute Kid Wraps from Martha Stewart.

Anyone who is a teacher will love this gift wrapping idea. I love the hand printed capital letters on paper with different colors of marker. Kids would LOVE to decorate paper with their own printing. Great Idea!

I've always loved Red and White. My wedding
colors were red and white. You can't go wrong here
using just dots and checks with different
kinds of ribbons.....

Doilies on brown or red paper is cute too! From Knicky Knack

Here are my boring packages. I got coordinating paper from Costco and wrapped everything up
in one of these 3 styles of paper adding embellishments to a few.
