wrapped...








my presents are all wrapped. I used the gorgeous frankie posters/calenders again this year as I really loved the look of them last year and there were a few giggles as everyone opened them to reveal the calenders inside with my notes of dates and things to remember. I really love the black and white animal illustration this year as well as the world map.


I didn't quite have enough with the November/December calender still on the fridge so ended up using one of my past favourites (the last image) which turns out is from 2008!!! Which brings me to this question..how long do you keep your frankie calender/posters for? which then brings me to the next question...how long do your keep your frankie magazines for? I have every edition of frankie since I first came across it which would have been in 2007 at least! They are nicely stacked in two piles (towers) with other lovely magazines: real living, country style, peppermint, donna hay and inside out...none of which I can bring myself to throw out or give away..why? Each time I sit down to go through them I feel inspired so they go back in their colourful piles.


Well, enough rambling from me, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and lots of laughs and fun with your family and friends this festive season xo

Very beautiful Nic xx
I purchased a new mag called Wrap. It turns into wrapping paper after you finish reading - and no staples!

Thanks Sal xo I love that idea - where did you by the new mag from?

I have the same problem with my magazines, I keep thinking it's time to cull my collection but then just can't seem to let them go. Love, love, love your wrapping!

Mel, I'm thinking about putting a small pile of my old magazines on the coffee table at the beginning of each month to see if it satisfies the desire to buy new mags...
