Brown paper pressies!

I had a great night with my bestie last night, our girls joined us so lots of giggling and silliness, a perfect night.

Our chosen film was.................................







Being Studio Ghibli season on film 4, this seemed an obvious choice for us and such a sweet film too.

I'm very much looking forward to Princess Mononoke tonight!


By the time I got home it was rather late, so no present wrapping got done.

A long soak in a hot bubbly bath, a little time with my man then it was off to bed for Me with Januarys edition of Country Homes and Interiors and what delightful bedtime flicking that was.
I fell in love with this gorgeous paper stocking................................







and now wondering if I'll be able to find time to make one or two.

I think they'd look lovely in mini version too, maybe with a little note popped inside and used as a gift tag and definately as an advent (certainly an idea to store away for next year).

With my Man and little man upstairs watching 'UP' this afternoon, I've managed to get a little wrapping done, although my idea of stamping didn't go quite to plan so 'brown paper and doilies' it was...........................................................








I also covered a little exercise book...............................................









All ready to jot ideas down for next Christmas, one of them being................................pretty covered notebooks tied up with string!


Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!
