This year I wrapped the gifts for the four children and their children with their own art
.... saved all these years.
Everyone is coming home for Christmas - they arrive for dinner today.
I send out lots of love to all of you who read this blog.
Your support and encouragement have meant so much to me over the years.
Thank you and have a wonderful holiday time this coming week.

ReplyDeletehard to say which I love more ... that you saved them or that you used them ... both!
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy for your children to see their own artwork. I don't know that I could part with my children's creations. Perhaps copies could be made for wrapping. Nonetheless, it is a wonderful idea and one which I will certainly use in the future.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent use of the art work, I have so much saved, all ready for next year. I just want to say your blog is so inspirational, thank you for writig it. Have a wonderful christmas.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea, and what talented children you have, such nice drawings, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA great idea -- but we gave our kids their "keep boxes" decades ago so if they still have them, they'd have to let me peek inside for wrapping ideas! Ah well...Blessings to you and your family for Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas, Judy and Ned... and may all of the fun and laughter begin in earnest! You are blessed to have the family together at Christmas,so make MERRY and spread the love! Enjoy that days together!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family Judy, I hope the day is full of happiness and lovely memories
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, I’m excited for another year of your inspiration! I love that you used their art like this
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Judy. I am grateful for having you here as well.

What a great wrapping idea!! Happy and beautiful new year to you!
ReplyDeleteDear Judy,
ReplyDeleteWe had a great holiday time ... even made it to North Bay to see the 2 daughters there and the 5 little grands ... the weather cooperated beautifully !
Such a great ides of wrapping in the kids old art ! You are a better mother than I ! Once the fridge could hold no more, art was swapped out with the more current, ever coming artworks ... no one seemed to mind when their art went missing ;)
Here's wishing you and yours a fantastic 2020 !!
thank you for your good wishes
ReplyDeleteWe had a wonderful Christmas - the wrapping was very special and made everyone linger over their presents -
Happy New Year 2020 Xo
