~~~The GIFTS are Wrapped!!!~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi everyone!!! It is crunch time but I feel pretty good about being ready! Usually I am not this calm but last night I decided I was going to get all of the gifts wrapped and under the tree today. I haven't done my hubby's yet cause he is a BIG SNOOP!!!! He will figure out what is in the boxes:):) So, I always try to use paper that will coordinate with the tree, which is all red and gold so I used gold paper and red and gold ribbons.  That big pile of gifts is all for my daughter, and I will tell you what they all are after Christmas just in case she reads this!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6MtrqbBVTadLIf3qM2YP1oDR67srlDl1Ry_oMTTQpKk1YyQ43pjrc02iAGjZX3vsaMWB_pWF9Siy-4xqe_YvJUt5DgG1HhuPBobKkADmsC327xgm2rGZmeBsiIpw8fgJCBHJ8ZC_nb09/s1600/IMG_0534.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480px" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6MtrqbBVTadLIf3qM2YP1oDR67srlDl1Ry_oMTTQpKk1YyQ43pjrc02iAGjZX3vsaMWB_pWF9Siy-4xqe_YvJUt5DgG1HhuPBobKkADmsC327xgm2rGZmeBsiIpw8fgJCBHJ8ZC_nb09/s640/IMG_0534.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div> The gift basket I made up myself for our daughters Mother-in-law. I found a CUTE drum basket at Michaels and filled it with goodies: cocoa and a mug, a box of chocolates, some Christmas dish towels, 3 jars of jams. I got a roll of cellophane and wraped it all up and made the bow. I think (hope) she will like it.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1dtKFc2uo50Ij1C1L9s46oteCAq-un9FnZ7wq0Xp7JSu_MJOXnDRKS7zJNeaMRYJnE-0MgsIec6xWFik41_HDBV8toIj_haFdk6qg3wpnw6A5T7jz20fXlS-0kigvFXOvgRR2SVxBYCc/s1600/IMG_0535.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480px" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1dtKFc2uo50Ij1C1L9s46oteCAq-un9FnZ7wq0Xp7JSu_MJOXnDRKS7zJNeaMRYJnE-0MgsIec6xWFik41_HDBV8toIj_haFdk6qg3wpnw6A5T7jz20fXlS-0kigvFXOvgRR2SVxBYCc/s640/IMG_0535.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZzHB26qq5fkGbdl8Se7SAcLloNfnkKyzv8Iq-sAwoVXDpePKzfbov3lvEGOQLQqgyamVrEZheID5C1adoCwjJOpNaSvlye91JkvFPYlhhlpcA8Lr1mepfJtFTB0ABAhASNk38e69eVWKG/s1600/IMG_0536.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480px" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZzHB26qq5fkGbdl8Se7SAcLloNfnkKyzv8Iq-sAwoVXDpePKzfbov3lvEGOQLQqgyamVrEZheID5C1adoCwjJOpNaSvlye91JkvFPYlhhlpcA8Lr1mepfJtFTB0ABAhASNk38e69eVWKG/s640/IMG_0536.JPG" width="640px" /></a></div> This pretty gift box I found at Michaels too!
