A prolonged weekend
Even since I saw the DIY tutorials posted by Bhavna of An indian summer, I wanted to try it out.
We are having some friends over for the Christmas holidays and I wanted to add something new to deck the house. I got all the supplies ready before the weekend and everything was planned for the weekend. But as they say, things never go as planned. Saturday was all about finishing my last minute gift shopping and the lines at the stores were longer than ever. Never mind, I rushed back home only to find that my son decided not to take his afternoon nap, aahhhh..... The evening was spent at a friend's holiday party which was indeed a lot of fun but the thought of my DIY project stayed with me.
I don't have much of an excuse for not doing what was planned on Sunday. Sundays are usually very relaxed with only the necessary stuff getting done. There was the usual cooking, groceries etc, and then tea and chit chat with friends in the evening.
Finally, the much awaited project was pushed out to Monday. So here's what I did...
the flowers all done...
The stems from the tree that we trimmed a little while ago...
Time to put it all together...

How do you think it turned out? I'm linking to the weekend wrap up party at Patty's blog Colours decor.

Gift wrapping ideas
I have been exploring gift wrapping ideas over the last couple of days, as I'll be doing all the gift packing for my cousin's wedding in India. Also, its Christmas time and many of you might be busy packing your gifts and some some of these ideas might be useful.
What really catches my fancy is the use of brown paper. The simplicity of the paper makes any decorations stand out. I especially like the combination of gold with the brown.
My favorite is the first one, embellished with gold ribbon and some fresh green leaves. The one with the cut out alphabets pasted on to the brown is my second fav. Which one is yours?
PS: Will surely share with you pictures of the final gift wraps.
PSII: In the last week or so, I came across some very unique gift wrapping ideas on the blogosphere, the one that I distinctly remember is a gift wrapped with a calendar page and the special date circled. I really tried hard to find that post, but with no luck. If any of you knows where that was, please let me know the link to that. Thanks.
