Well not before Christmas anyway.<br />I saw the stamps on Elizabeth’s blog too, the picture I used came from Pinterest, but Elizabeth found them elsewhere (see her comment).<br />I had to think about Martha-mode because I’ve never heard that expression before. Could it be you are referring to Martha Stewart? I’ve never seen her on TV, but I remember reading about her somewhere. <br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-70658047046332077682017-12-19T15:36:48.700+00:002017-12-19T15:36:48.700+00:00I used to make the most awesome wrapped presents, ...I used to make the most awesome wrapped presents, where every seam was hidden and the ends matched up perfectly. Gone are those days, though. Now I wrap in red rosin paper I remove from my craft table, stamp a few images, then sew the bag together. People expect the sewing, since I've done this for several years.<br /><br />One year, I wrapped everything in something that could be used, like tea towels, napkins, etc. I no longer look at wrapping paper as something to wrap gifts, but to use in my altered book art.<br /><br />BTW, the images I shared yesterday with the gifts Jeanie was talking about came straight from an Anthropologie magazine.<br /><br />I'm going to be so sorry when Advent is over. I'm really loving visiting everyday and seeing what is next on the list!Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.com
