Sassy Silver Sisters

It's that time of year when we get excited about the warm weather. I'm looking forward to it but not so much to what comes with it such as spring cleaning. I found a 30-day plan to help with this task from TheSpruce.com. What a great way to split up the work so it won't be overwhelming. So let's get started. Before you get started, prepare some boxes. Here’s what you need: Donate Box:  Anything you want to donate goes into this box.  Repair Box:  While you’re decluttering and cleaning, you will come across items that need to be mended or repaired. Place these items in a box until you’re ready to get them fixed. Don’t let repairs sidetrack you until you’re done cleaning.

I love different styles of gift wrapping. Wrapping paper has come a long way and the creativity that folks have is phenomenal. I usually buy wrapping paper from Hobby Lobby  because it’s sturdy and it has grid marks on the back to help with cutting. I go after Christmas for the big sale as they always have lots of paper left. Using embellishments is fun. You can use natural products such as pine cones, evergreens, herbs, etc. If you like ribbons, try using different widths together on a package to give it dimension. I've used pictures as a tag instead of writing who the gift is going to, the photo tells it. Be creative and have fun! Here are some of my favorite styles of gift wrapping along with some links for your convenience. Happy wrapping!!
