Yarn ribbon and Washi tape

If you remember a few years ago I wrote a post on how much I love wrapping presents, particularly Christmas presents.  They look so pretty all stacked under the tree!

Well, with 2 kiddos and not much time to wrap, I decided to try something new this year.  Christmas is already past, but feel free to keep it in mind for next year!

At the beginning of this Christmas season, I decided to wrap my kids' advent calendar presents using bright red yarn as my mom had growing up.  I loved the look so much that I decided to carry it over into the the rest of my gift wrapping.

I am in love with washi tape right now (and any excuse to buy some) so I decided to use that for labeling our presents.
