…these monograms made out of sailing flags. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a different flag in this shared room.�
Isn’t that cool? I love it! �
I love these monograms, the artist that made them, and the mama who put them in her babies room.
All around lots of love, nautical love, LOVE. Sailing�away with lots of kudos. :)
There is something�delightful and ever charming�about �The Mayberry Sparrow.��I think the�Custom Name Stamp: Bookplates would make a darling baby shower gift.��Don’t you think?
Beatrice could really use some of those for all of her books. Maybe I should get her a few.� Have�I mentioned lately that she is infatuated�with books…the same ones.��Of all of�her collection, she wants me to read the same three books over, and over, and over.
Oh, back to my post. Sorry guys.�
I like the sweet Matryoshka Doll Stamp, too.� Customize it for a crafty friend on her next birthday.� Your gift is sure to be a hit.
Thanks Creature Comforts. You made a fine introduction!
My Grandaddy Tygart used to wrap our gifts in cartoon paper.� Certain it was a last minute whim to make things easy or a another way to save money, it is one of my favorite memories. Still, when I see the funny papers I think of Barbie Cars and Tonka Trucks under the tree.�
When I stumbled upon this idea from David Seo�at Simply Green. �I became nostalgic.� Then, I remembered my Christmas Eco-Challenge.� Ah, ha.� Here it is. Here will be my first attempt to strip down our trash production.���
Hmm…you can use�full pages from glossy magazines, maps, brochures, color copy pages and even an oversized instructional manual. You can also use the brown paper sacks from the grocery store.��You know, I think you can also get rolls of�unused paper (unprinted) from the�Statesboro Herald.��We used to use them for cheerleading banners in high school.���
When tied with a nice ribbon (all cut extra long so the recipient can reuse the ribbon easily on other gifts), it all looks�really nice.� �Ribbons with dots, and�stripes, and fun colors will be super cute. I love the idea already.� So, this year don’t be surprised if your Christmas gift from the�Hulsey’s comes wrapped in non-traditional paper and a gross grain ribbon. Be happy, give us a�smile, and know that we are helping out the earth this year.�
Happy Operation Christmas�Eco-Challenge!
P.S. It looks like my ‘boro blogging buddy, Laurel is up to eco-friendly Christmas, too.� You can mosey to At Home Laurel for more ideas. Great minds DO think alike : )!
