Loo-Bee Designs

Even if you are not getting married this year, chances are you know someone who is having a baby!!! A really close family friend of mine makes the most adorable hand-painted and personalized baby onesie, tee, infant hat, and tote bag. They come in many design styles and can be customized to meet any particular requests!! Great for Moms and Dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles, or anyone with little ones on their gift-giving list!

A must see for the 2008 year!!

Wrap It Up!!

Are you addicted to beautiful wrapping papers? Have you spent more money on the wrapping paper than on the gift (yep, kinda crazy...I know). If that is you, then you will especially love these "Wrap Collections" from Heidi.

The collections come in a variety of chic patterns, colors and shapes and best of all, they come with coordinating ribbons and notecards. These would be so pretty for a group of bridesmaids gifts. I would pick a few complimentary colors and order different wrap for different girls. This gift wrap is a bit pricey, but it's just so darn pretty!

There are so many other fun, creative uses for gorgeous wrapping paper, you don't have to stop with your gifts! You could try:

* Wrapping centerpiece containers on each table at your reception in a beautiful, color coordinating wrap

* Cutting wrap into round napkin rings (could look great at a Shower or Bridesmaids Brunch)

* Using wrap as a page accent in your guest book (if you are creating your own)

* If you are doing a Photo Station or Polaroid guest book, use 6 or so sheets of wrap to create a funky backdrop.

Has anyone tried any other fun DIY projects with pretty wrapping paper?
