As Christmas nears and the excitement in our children’s eyes increases, so too does my elevating blood pressure as I contemplate all of the things that still need to be done. Yet at the same time, I rejoice in their happiness and the beauty of their little world.
I have been admiring your beautiful blogs filled with yummy cookies and delicious looking Christmas sweets and was inspired to make my own….
2. Cut just below handles
This one is my favourite and it was done the same way using a doily. Isn’t it so pretty? The tags you see on all of the packages are from Canvas Corp, more on that on the next post…:)
I love how simple this one is and of course I can’t get enough of the colour combo….are you tired of it yet?
The idea of wrapping store bought cookies and re-wrapping or’ fake baking’ if you will, would never work with my family as everyone knows my lack of baking abilities (but my neighbours don’t 😉
I’ll see you soon with some other yummy ideas…..thank you for your sweet company...have a great day!
much love,
Lucy
ps. does it count that the shortbread cookies are homemade, just not by me…?

Very pretty little cookie bags. There is no rule saying the gifts have to be baked by you! After all, it is the thoughtfulness that counts.

Your packaging ideas are wonderful Lucy! Although you don’t bake, you certainly are creative in so many ways. Thanks for sharing your talents with so many. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and the best in 2012.

OMIGOODNESS, nothing gets me more stoked then fun and original packaging ideas and you would NEVER disappoint! This is outstanding! And there is NO way I would tire of the color combo. Not uh.
