Tomorrow is Tax Day here in Canada and our sons birthday so a quick post today but one to remember for a simple but touching Mothers Day gift wrapping idea that I had in my file from Martha Stewart. Mom will love this idea, a gift wrapped with photos of her favorite children or grandchildren.........she is going to get all teary eyed when you pass along your love with this idea. Just remember the cut ends of the ribbon go under the photo so the bottom stays nice and flat.

This is just lovely. I decoupaged a box for Father's Day once with a b&w of me and my dad when I was little, sitting on his lap. Inside I stashed some wonderful cashews. Simple, but meaningful. Thanks for refreshing my memory banks with this great idea! xx P&H
ReplyDeleteOh you always come up with the goods that is so gorgeous and something I could do.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sande,
love DJ
My best wishes to your son.
Perfect gift wrapping for Mother's day and Many Happy Return's of the day, Sande's son. Have the BEST birthday ever. XXXX

Sande, Love, Absolutely love this idea--simple but so touching! I will use it, but do I think my sons might use it. Not so much! I would be so touched with this wrapping I would never open the gift! Happy, happy birthday to Austin!
ReplyDeleteGeat idea, Sande. I had my first grandchild in October and my daughter is due to deliver my second one any moment now. What a sweet way for me to commemorate their first mother's day. Thanks for passing on Martha's simple genius!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, it's so special!

ReplyDeleteSweet idea. I'll remember this one! Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteReally, I just want to bottle you up. I would open you and drink before every wrap. You crack me up with all these gifts.
ReplyDeleteI would never want to open them.
Happy day to your son and to mr. Tax man.
