Gift Wrapping Workshops for the Holidays

We're heading into what is my busiest and yet my most favorite
time of the year!  It's also when everyone else is interested in Gift Wrapping...
I always love to share ideas and equally love meeting people at my
workshops.  Here's what I have lined up for the holidays.
Hope to see you in person taking one of my classes.

Gifts of Endearment

Thoughtful gestures of gift wrapped kindness from friends always touches my heart.
Just wanted to post a few things that came my way this week.

Fig Spread from Janet wrapped in the Sports Page (Go Giants!)
with a Cardboard Gift Tag with my initials- paper clipped.  So great! 

 

My friend Kate Frankel is known for her beautiful creations made of wool felt, hand cut.
Love this simple leaf wrap accessory here bounded by a thin leather band.
The apricot jam was equally a treat.
Be on the lookout for her future website... 

My girlfriend Tracy brings succulents wrapped in a basket.
Love it!!!
