mother's day wrap up

Well, it's been such a fun week!  Thanks for being here with us.  We have thoroughly enjoyed putting these giveaways together for you in celebration of Mother's Day.  We have one last offering that we are bringing back from our 2nd Blogging Anniversary.

Isn't it disheartening when you get a gift packaged up all cute, and then realize you have no tag?  And no time?
Jilly and Mia to the rescue.

We are giving this collection of our own designs, packaged up and sent to one of you.  This gift includes four of each tag (24 total), as well as ribbon, lace and bakers twine to seal the deal. 

As far as wrapping gifts goes, we have certain things on hand at all times.  We like to keep our gear basic because it's so versatile.  If you have nothing else in your arsenal but the following,  you're well on your way to a successful package.

-Brown Kraft paper
-White Kraft paper
-Black ribbon, satin and grosgrain in varying widths
-Bakers twine in neutral colors
-Off-white lace in varying widths
-Assorted colors, patterns and textures of cardstock
-Take out boxes {restaurant supply}
-Misc sized white boxes

Here are some examples of gifts we wrapped with our basic supplies and tags to give you an idea of some different combinations.

And just because we want all of you to feel like winners, (because you definitely are!) we found this super cute printable by the very talented Hillary Henslee who lives right here in our own town.  She blogs at {the painted arrow} and is obviously crazy creative and talented.  She painted this (!) and turned it into a downloadable image.  Pay a visit to {this blog post} to print yours.  But grab a snack, you'll be there for awhile.  Thanks Hillary, this is simply beautiful.
