Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String...or Ribbon

I guess a some point or other, we have all heard this unforgotten song from "The Sound of Music", "Favorite Things", and ran around singing it endlessly as if we too were Julie Andrews on some mountain top in Austria I believe it was. "Brown paper packages tied up with string". Well this song is just so fitting for when I wander off into the world of my now favorite site for all things beautiful in the mind of SANDE from A GIFT WRAPPED LIFE.

After 20 years of successful interior design, Sande Chase made the decision to switch her focus on a career of professional gift wrapping. From Ontario, Canada, which is so close to my childhood home in Buffalo, NY, Sande has saved us all from the hum-drum life of the dreaded chore of gift wrapping. She has made it so much fun with her unbelievable ideas and creations! Gone are the days of the ordinary and in are the packages of the EXTRAORDINARY!


I truly love gift giving and wrapping, and now with her MAJESTY'S BRILLIANT creations and ideas, my gifts will be the talk of this holiday season! Just looking at this gift box above makes me drool!


At Sande's site, A Gift Wrapped Life, she offers an array of DIVINE, LUXURIOUS and FEMININE papers and ribbons, but that's not all. She also has many beautiful gift giving ideas, for instance pretty PICTURE FRAMES AND TOILETRIES!

Here is the big problem, WHAT TO CHOOSE once your there!! There are so many GORGEOUS wrappings and ribbons that one would just love to choose them all:)) but I am more than positive that if you are having a hard time choosing from Sande's wide selection, she will be more than happy to assist you in choosing the perfect papers and ribbons for your SPECIAL OCCASION:)


Here is a BEAUTIFUL SOLUTION for decorating a round box! This one reminds me of

Harvest Time.

Once again, our Queen Sande works her MAGIC !

SHEER EXTRAVAGANCE


These treasures resemble bowls full of SHERBET ICE CREAM,
JUST DREAMY AND DELICIOUS!

Just remember that your packages don't have to be boring and simple. Dress them up in luxurious wrappings and trinkets. Create a long lasting memory for the receiver. I assure you that they will take that extra minute to savor your thoughtfulness and creativity... Let your gifts be the talk of the event!

Need a SHORTCUT to Sande's web site? Just click on her button, A GIFT WRAPPED LIFE, on the right hand side of our blog, and tell our gift wrapping QUEEN that DAISY from LA PETITE PLUME sent you:)

... And that's a Wrap!
