Happy holidays in a box is my fave

December 17, 2009

In my effort to spread some holiday cheer, I sent out some festive packages that included:

IMG_0592
IMG_0575
festive garlands,
IMG_0582
ornaments and twine,
IMG_0586
mini trees and gift tags from Olive Manna,
IMG_0580
treats that will survive the mailing without getting stale (that chocolate cranberry pistachio bark is the best),
IMG_0566
tissue snow puffs (folded down of course),
IMG_0598
winter pretties from Abby,
IMG_0591
and a little something to throw at the New Year’s party.
My only wish is that I could have sent them via Christmas gram instead of USPS.

    This is so lovely! I would have loved to receive that in the mail!

    This is the coolest pack of Christmas cheer I have ever seen! Don't forget to "Sing loud for all to hear" when mailing them off.

    PS-I love smiling. Smilings my favorite!

    What a fantastic holiday cheer kit! You've given me some ideas on using twine. :) I LOVE that you quoted Elf. Elf and Wayne's World are the two most quoted movies at our house. Other favorite Elf quotes: "That's fun to say." "Did you hear that?" "Is there sugar in ________? Then, yes!"
