HOW TO MAKE YOUR PRESENTS SHINE {IN ONE GLASS OF WINE}

Happy Friday my friends! Another weekend is upon us and technically the last weekend (unless you're suuuuper last minute) to wrap up your holiday crafts, wrapping, shopping - all that good stuff! 

I don't know about you but I love to create my own personal gift wrapping - I think it actually makes the gift inside just a little bit better.  Last year I bought the gold glitter wrapping paper from paper source and while its super pretty to look at it was not super cool to work with.  (Pretty tough to get that glitter to stick to itself...)

So this year I decided to try it again...but with a slightly different technique.

Here's what you'll need to create this super easy polka dot packaging:

- 1 glass of wine (I prefer red)
- Your favorite Pandora holiday station (I prefer Michael Buble)
- A basic gift box - mine was free from Anthropologie
- Gold (or another color of your choosing) glitter wrapping paper 
- A circle punch - I found mine at Michaels
- Adhesive dots (I LIVE for these things!)

Pour your wine, turn on your holiday tunes and start punching out those glittery circles. Once you have them punched out - lay a polka dot pattern over one side of your box.  Once you like the look of your pattern, take your adhesive dots and start sticking! That's it!

While these look fantastic as they are - next week I'll show you the different ways I spruced them up!

Happy crafty weekend to you! xo

VINTAGE BOOK iPHONE CHARGER

Good Afternoon!  Hopefully you all had a wonderful weekend - maybe one in which you had the house to yourself after a long (but wonderful) Thanksgiving weekend full of family, drinking, shopping, more drinking, eating, games, drinking (yes I'm describing my Thanksgiving weekend). 
So this past weekend was lovely - as I spent most of it with my couch.  And NFL redzone.  (which is a lifesaver when you root for an awful team in which most of your games are blacked out)

And now here we are at Monday - which has been productive for me so far (gym, culling a wedding, post office, bank...) now I'd like to sit down for a moment and show you something I recently found that blew my mind.  Once of those - why-didn't-I-think-of-that moments.  The Vintage Book iPhone Charger from Anthropologie.  I love everything about it.  The vintage books, the fact that it charges your iPhone.  So made for your bedside table and so very perfect for that person who seems to have everything.
