"/>The Blackberry Vine is having a second Pretty Packages Party.
If you know me you know I probably need a gift wrap intervention
so this is my kind of party.
I had a gift to wrap for a friend.
Her daughter is expecting their first baby any day now.
She is one of my first friends to become a grandmother.
Funny, she doesn't look or act like a grandmother.
So when I saw this in a gift shop I thought of her.
The phrase seemed just right for my cute friend.
When I wrap a gift I like the wrap to be a hint to what's inside.
So I wrapped this one in black and white paper,
added a photo of a glamorous woman ( Sophia Loren),
used some pop dots to give the picture dimension,
selected a piece of colorful scrapbook paper and cut out a pair of stylish readers.
Then I embellished the readers with rhinestones.
I made a name tag for the package that says Mimi - the name she has selected for herself as a grandma.
Voila, my interpretation of glamorous gift wrap for my friend the fabulous Mimi
Congrats Mimi. Little Schu is going to love coming to your house.
Tomorrow is Monday and it is time for my second Motivated Monday Party.
