I snag any brown cardboard box I can. They make the best blank slate for a gift box. Here is one all dressed up to go to my dad's wife for her birthday. The purple tag doesn't match anything else, but I think it makes for a fun box.
I shall remember this instead of throwing them into the trash! Good repurposing idea! Brenda http://cozylittlehouse.blogspot.com http://viewfromthepines.com
"Our house was not unsentient matter — it had a heart and a soul, and eyes to see with; and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence and lived in its grace and in the peace of its benedictions. We never came home from an absence that its face did not light up and speak out in eloquent welcome — and we could not enter it unmoved."- Samuel Clemens
I am probably the most content person you'd ever want to meet. I have a decent job working with people I like, a loving family including a swell Old English Sheepdog, a home where nesting and curling up on slipcovered sofas is required, and a life rich in creative crafting and daydreaming. I someday want a cottage at the beach where my grandchildren can bring sandy feet into the house, wet bathing suits can dry on the front porch and everything we need to get to is a bicycle ride away.

So pretty! I love to use just plain brown wrapping paper. We have a huge thing of it here at work that I steal!
And the rehearsal dinner is amazing, the prom photos too! Beautiful!
