Try making a present part of the paper. I once gave a friend an xmas prezzie and used a christmas teatowel as the wrapping paper.

omg! that looks so good!
I have to learn how to crochet!
I was meant to send them today and I'd made a little present for you all- little holly magents I'd made myself from Sculpey (fimo is the same thing) but when i went to the post office to get the stamps the lady aid you can't send magnets in the post because they're counted as dangerous goods- why i do not know.
I'm really annoyed coz they looked really good and took me ages- like hours! Aaargh!
I'll send the cards tomorrow. Hopefully they'll arrive on time!!!!
Here's my doggie-

I sent my last name is Crowley- I did actually gve it to Cat but she didn't put it on the message to everyone.
I'm reading The Shadow thief written by 14 year old Alexandra Adornetto- who was 13 when she actually wrote the book! It's really good and her style of writing makes the book really interesting. If you didn't know she was 14 I don't think you would know if you read the book as she writes maturely and has a big vocabulary. It's a must read!
We've got a big wooden one and it's like a feature when you walk into the house. It cost quite a lot so we won't be getting another one for a while but it's reuseable-Go environmentally-friendly!
It's in the shape of a house and it's like santa's workshop inside. Around the edges are little doors and inside each one is a little toy ornament on a string and you hook it in the middle of the thing. it's really pretty! I'll post a photo of it in a bit-we just have to get it out and set it up first!!!
the monopoly earrings sound so cool KK- I might try them!
Thanks KK
I don't know if others realised this but for people who don't know, you can view CO & K member's blogs in the one place. Just go onto the blog section and in the left hand corner there is a tab that say 'All users blogs' (or something like that!).
Kati(a member of this site) doesn't like christmas that much either). I actually do like Christmas so you probably wouln't want to read the blog I wrote on it!
I live in Australia so at xmas it's really hot and lots of people go to the beach of christmas day and have BBQ so we can wear our summer dresses! I actually should probably get one for xmas.
I know how people saw xmas is too materialistic but it's only materialistiv if you make it. There are plenty of xmas things you can do that aren't materialistic and it's the best time of year to help out and donate to charities. It's a shame that people get so stressed at xmas and that everyone is so busy but well that's just part of it. I just find it all quite humourous rather than infuriating.
Thanks guys! Sorry the pictures came out too big- I'll try to make sure it doesn't happen next time.
The prezzie sounds really nice knittin kitten by the way.
I really wouldn't like any nudity knittin kitten-thanks
I've made an inspiration box-Cat's project. I've just got to fill it all up but I got some great ideas from kerri smith's blog. I got this beautiful paper from my local scrapbooking shop- I love it!
