Christmas Gift Wrapping Ideas (and me freaking out about not having enough time to get everything done)

Every year, without fail, I end up waiting until the last minute to wrap presents. I like to say that it's because I don't want to forget that I already bought something and have it wrapped, but really it's because I tend to put things off until the last minute [shame on me, I know]. This year is no different, but I have decided that instead of wrapping presents like mad on Christmas Eve, I'm going to dedicate the rest of this week to slowly [and cutely!] wrapping gifts.
I've been looking around Pinterest for cute gift wrap ideas and thought I would share some of my favorites in case anyone else is having the same procrastination issues as me. *wink*

I really love the idea of using vintage fabrics and scraps from around my craft studio to decorate the packages. Also, things like little vintage decorations and bells and buttons are so perfect for cute finishing details for your wrapping.

My official Christmas break starts tomorrow, and I am super excited [although everyone that runs their own business knows it's never truly a "break", haha]. There is so much I need to do in the next few days before Christmas....wrap gifts, bake cookies and watch Muppet Christmas Carol [a little tradition of mine that is very dear to me], finish Christmas shopping, get the ingredients for a new salad I'm making for my family's annual Christmas Eve dinner, go light looking, and celebrate my mama's birthday on Thursday. This is such a busy time of year, and I love it but I haven't had a chance to slow down yet and enjoy the season as much as I'd like to. I'm hoping that once my break starts, things will slow down a tad bit and I'll start to feel a little more festive.

How are you doing with your holiday to-do list? Almost done or still have much to do? XO, mandy
