I've always been a ripper when it comes to wrapping paper.<BR/><BR/>GG - the swing tags I made myself from cardboard luggage tags and the egg is a stamp i bought at this cute shop that has a lot of old Victorian line drawings, botanical prints etc made up as stamps. I also stamped the other side with the name of the recipient in separate letters. It's the most Xmas fun I've had in ages. The colour bird/egg/nest/butterfly stickers on the parcels are by Cavallini, which I picked up in eth States. You can buy them here but they are much more expensive. They make a goregous range of pretty stuff - www.cavallini.com.Rachael Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07690377694600952816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16175404.post-34780769946093070622008-12-16T23:56:00.000-08:002008-12-16T23:56:00.000-08:00Nah.
