Crafty friday!

I just love getting presents.

But I also love giving them away, and wrapping them is always lots of fun.

Here I wrapped a book in brown craft paper.

Then I wrapped a piece of wet cotton ball around the stem of a clematis, and cover with floral tape.

Tie it with raffia.

The clematis will stay fresh for a few hours.

I also want to say thank you for all your amazing comments on my giveaway.

Warms my heart!

Have a fab weekend.

Dear Paul,
I didn't want to enter your giveaway because then I thought my praise wouldn't be seen as honest. I love your blog. I stay super busy and your blog posts are like respite in the middle of hectic days. I try to plan times on saturdays to blatantly steal ideas from you for around the house (my next project is the plate on the wall with words from a few months ago). So thanks.
You're amazing.

I like wrapping cookbooks (or any books, really) with ribbon and adding a metal cookie cutter or other kitchen tool.
