bows + ribbons + pretty paper {prezzies}

i so love a pretty package, and although christmas should never be about the material things, i must admit that it fills me with childlike delight to see a multitude of beautifully and lovingly wrapped bundles amassed under a happily lit christmas tree.  i love the shiny bows, the fabulous ribbons, the pretty papers...and i save and collect them throughout the years.  i still have some gorgeous ribbons from wedding gifts that i received almost seven years ago! i don't just enjoy looking at pretty packages, i love creating them.  it's always fun to get creative with your wrapping, whether it's the use of an unconventional material in place of paper or paper in place of ribbon.
