For Whitney.

My last pay it forward! Whitney, I hope you didn't think I forgot about you:} K, so I have so many fun memories of you. Our first meeting the week you got married when I transferred up to Materials Management was the first. You seemed so cool. So sophisticated. So fun. Loved our gossiping about Susan and the myriad of love triangles that were playing out in our department. I remember too when we came to see your first house. It was my DREAM after that to get a house right in that area--and we did! And then our fun dinner at Joe's Grill a few months ago. So fun talking over organic burgers and just catching up. So glad our friendship has continued, albeit mostly electronically. Miss you:}

So, I have made you what I call a Last Minute Holiday Packaging Kit. I LOVE putting together a great gift. I think the way something is presented can totally make or break the whole vibe of the gift. So, these are my fAVoRIte ways to package last minute quick gifts you still want to have a little special flair. First are some cute little labels I made in Photoshop--just for you! I love the little vintagey Christmas girls. So cute. Simply cut out and punch two small holes at the top to thread the ribbon through. Next are cellophane bags. An absolute must have. I probably package like 99% of gifts in these. I love the see through fun. Put a bit of the bag shred in, use the American Crafts marker (fine point if you want to write a little note, medium point to quickly add their name and then yours). Follow up with some fabulous ribbon, and a can of hot chocolate or Bath and Body Works soap is instantly transformed into amazing.

Also throwing in a Tonya's workout CD as you were so patient:} Send me your address through Facebook Inbox & I will get your kit to you.

Love ya Whitney! Happy Holidays!
