Cozy Holiday Gift Wrapping

Each year around the holidays my intentions are always to wrap each gift with care and personal touches. Yet I always find myself in a wrapping frenzy in the days leading to Christmas. This year I plan to put all the pinecones, twigs and acorns we've collected over the last couple of months to good use.

The Cool Casa

My self-professed design junkie friend Denise has an oh so cool blog on all things interior design called The Cool Casa. In addition to featuring cool products and design resources, Denise also shares some of her great thrift store finds, some of which are now available in her new etsy shop. Looking for something specific? Just let her know and she'll try to hunt it down for you.

Weekend creations

And speaking of wall decor, how great are these?  Such an interesting way to display nature in the home.

This one I adore and must have asap!

I have a couple of projects I'd like to wrap up this weekend:

• Caulk tub
• Finish Jules' airplane mobile
• Make a couple of pieces of jewelry/accessories 
• Start closet/wardrobe organization project

And Sunday we're off to the Montclair Art Museum for a Lego Building Workshop where families will be creating Lego models of Montclair buildings. Should be fun for my Lego obsessed little guy.
