Good ideas on wrapping presents. Keep it simple and classic. You look beautiful in your red dress!

[@asimon8313]

I, too, love beautifully wrapped packages. 🎁 Beautiful Christmas dress. Lovely on you.

Little Jingle 🔔 bells are nice tied onto packages too..🌲🌲

I agree on the belt! Loose the turtle shell look, lol. That will just elevate the dress even more. Just wrapping the belt like you did changes the whole look..so sweet! The dress had ALL THE GREAT LINES, stunning DRESS! GREAT FIND! THE dress is so CHRISTMASY..beautiful cranberry color..You always look so beautiful...so classic and elegant, and your sweet personality really comes through. Hope you and your family have a Blessed Christmas!

Use hook & eyes instead of snaps. They work a lot better and you don't have to worry about the snaps giving away (showing more than you want to). You only need to open the seam just a little to reposition the opening and then you won't need to worry about snaps. Cover some small buttons with the tie you are removing and place them at the end of new closure for a finished look.

You look beautiful in that dress! The color, flow, and sleeves are so pretty. We like to slow the process of stockings down with wrapped gifts. We also throw wrapping paper balls at each other. The gift wrap and red bows were delightful, as well as your cute assistant.

It appears that you have a helper😊🥰 I love the dress it’s really pretty on you and very holiday looking. I love to wrap packages like that it looks neat all the same🎄

Take that extra sash and turn it into covered buttons, like your sleeves. Use that for your waist.

[@tep1962]

That's what I was going to suggest.

[@c.s.s.8117]

Love covered buttons. Great idea!

[@traceyhudson5883]

From a long-time seamstress- Hooks and eyes might be less obvious than snaps- plus they will keep your sash snug as you move around in your beautiful dress. Please let us know how it works out, Merry Christmas!

I have been inspired by so many of your ideas! I bought woodland animals last year and painted them gold...the ball-fringe garland and incorporated some William Morris into our world. I already use kraft and butcher paper as wrapping paper already, and embellish with dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, evergreen, rosemary and berries...so much of "commercial christmas" is so toxic!!! I try to look at whatever I use and ask..."Is it bird-friendly?" I appreciate your channel so much...thanks for doing it...I know it's a lot of work. Merry Christmas to you and your family!🌲❤️🌲

Beautiful dress! And you look lovely in it.

[@odilegabayengel4192]

I also bought all the Martha Stewart paper and bags at TJ-Maxx ! they are sooooo gorgeous ! I also bough velvet blue ribbons. Also love gift wrap, since I was a little girl.... You are right, it is our love language. You look gorgeous with the red dress. Christmas is going to be glorious !

Definitely 80's dresses. Had some just like them. What's old is new again.

[@SheHoldsDearly]

What goes around comes around, doesn't it!?

[@girlygirl0053]

Loved all the gift wrapping, beautiful!

[@melodymccrary]

Hook and eye instead of snaps. Any time there is tension pulling. Loved it!!

[@olgabombard6277]

I love that beautiful dress! And the beautiful music that you do play on your videos

[@sandragroves1419]

Just looking at old pics of our aluminum tree in 1960!

[@terriestapley5475]

Oh how I wish I had Pics of ours to see! LOVED Our Silver Tree♥️

[@ourtimberhome]

We had an aluminum tree as well when i was growing up. I still remember putting it together:) and I am 65! My mom also had a white circular electric "thing" that spun and made the tree look like it was changing colors!

[@lisag.6599]

Beautiful beautiful dress! You're doing well, just keep going. I have no advice, though. I've been curious for a while about MaryRuth's - I think it's the pretty labels she has! I will have to try something.

[@suzannemargolin1737]

Actually that red ribbon looks beautiful…..

[@kimm1169]

I love the dress! It looks beautiful on you! Also I have a question?? Once gifts are opened do you recycle your ribbon? The gift wrapping was also beautiful! ❤

[@PamVarnell-gq6kq]

On the dress, what if you make the sash go around you the opposite way so that the end of it faces toward the back and you won't notice the edge from the front (and still use snaps)?

[@carolyost6733]

Does your family appreciate how you wrap the gifts, or does it mean more to you? My family wouldn't even notice. I decorate for me bc No one notices ! My husband does. But kids and wives don't at all. Sometimes it gets to me.

[@juanitaleblanc2940]

It is so strange you talking about a good multi vitamin..my daughter and I were just saying we need B12 this time of year plus D..we live in Michigan and the sun is scares here…thank you for the info…😊

[@KathyH231]

❤🎄❤️

[@marydumois4242]

I would suggest that kids should choose whatever the heck they want to wrap with. I mean really?

[@joan01sessions]

Wow! You are taking way too long to wrap 1 package! Beautiful but omg!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

That extra effort is making the difference. Some people really notice when you take pains to wrap a beautiful present. I have a daughter like that. I also have a daughter who is fine with the bag the item came in from the store! 😂

[@laurelmcgrath5107]

I am surprised you use scotch tape on your gifts.

[@PamVarnell-gq6kq]

I'm curious...what would you use instead?
