Have you ever been to a Wrapping Party? I hosted one years ago and they are such fun! It's a time for you and your friends to get together, eat decadent food, chat and wrap gifts. Sounds good, huh?
A dear friend of mine, Kylie, hosted a Wrapping Party the other night and we had the most wonderful time! She served delicious food, provided lovely wrapping paper, ribbon and even boxes and also had prizes!
Kylie had her house decorated so beautifully and people stayed until 1:30 AM! The party started at 6:00! No one wanted to leave- including me...
Oh my goodness... I still need to get your Spinach Dip recipe, Kylie!
I completed my first scarf from Julie's Scarf Along! YES!!!! My darling husband helped me. He can figure out anything mechanical.:) Thanks Sweetie! And thanks Julie!
So, are you ready for Christmas? I think I still may be getting ready on Christmas Eve! Yikes!
Looks and sounds like everyone had a lovely time! The scarf you made is so cute Lori!!
ReplyDeletehow fun! I love wrapping!
ReplyDeleteCUTE scarf!!
And..the hubs totally has to finish up the gift cards..lol..good thing we got everything else considering he now as to go by hisself!
What a great idea! I don't really like wrapping the presents, especially if it's at midnight on Christmas eve, or would that then be Christmas morning? It would be super fun to wrap with friends and eat decadent food!
ReplyDeleteCute scarf!
What a GREAT idea!! I am gonna do one of those next year:) I LOVE that scarf too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like LOADS of fun!!! And that scarf is so, so cute!

Good for you on the scarf, girl. So so cute. I wanted to bang one out; but didn't get the nerve. (Note the Cowardly Lion in that statement!) xoxo Nancy
ReplyDeleteThe wrapping party sounds so fun!!! I would love to do that some day!
ReplyDeleteYour scarf is soooo pretty!!! I love the fabrics you chose! I planned to make one too, but my duaghter's wedding planning has taken over our world. (Almost have it all together and will be back to craftiness soon!)
Have a great Christmas!

How FUN to have a wrapping party. That would be just the incentive to get all MY gifts wrapped!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the scarf and what a CUTE model.♥
LORI... you did it! I told you, you would do great! I love your scarf fabric choices...
ReplyDeleteLook at you go sewing Susie!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf turned out sooooo cute! I had no idea you were going to make it out of different pieces of material...I thought it was going to all be the same. Being you can do this means you can make a quilt. You go girl! I'm so proud of my little sister!!!!
Hey, the wrapping party looked like alot of fun and your friend really looks like she has her act together. Everything looked perfect including the food!
Have a Merry weekend,
Love,
Me~♥
what a fun party theme! I love the scarf!!!!
ReplyDeleteA wrapping party sounds like a great plan....I've have to borrow this idea for next year. Merry Chirstmas!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lori! It sounds like you had a great time at the wrapping party :)
ReplyDeleteLove your scarf...you did a great job!! See...you CAN sew!!
Love you....Jerelene
Your party sounded fun, but I've never heard of a 'wrapping party'. What does it entail? Do you haul your gifts to the hostess house and it's just a matter of having company and fun while you wrap, and then you haul them back home? Or do you go to each other's homes and help wrap everybody's gifts? (I think I would much prefer that!).
ReplyDeleteI wish I had known about these things when my kids were little, I would have thrown a wrapping party in a heartbeat!
That is one job I did not enjoy, especially when there were so many to wrap (our own five kids and then there were twenty-one nieces and nephews, and then add on all the other relatives!), we definitely were up until the wee hours of Christmas morning wrapping as we lived paycheck to paycheck back then and couldn't shop well ahead of time!
Well, it all got done, and I have some nice memories of time spent alone with my husband, just wrapping and talking about Christmas past, and dreams yet to come.
I loved your scarf!
Great post!
All the best,
Eileen
That party sounds like fun!! Your scarf came out great!!

Hi Lori
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the wrapping party. Your friend organized a great evening with such delicious treats. No wonder you were there until 1.30am!
The scarf you made looks so pretty being modelled by dear Katie. You can sew now, congratulations. What will you being making next?
I am still not ready! I fear I will still be getting ready on Christmas Eve just like you!
Have a great weekend.

That scarf is adorable! I wish I'd learned how to sew... (If I had room for a sewing machine, I'd take the plunge. For now, I'll stick to admiring your handiwork!)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the scarf! And what a fun party idea!! That will be a must do next year :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love wrapping parties. My girlies and I used to do this, but we haven't done it in a long time. I think I will have to have one next year.
ReplyDeleteGosh that sounds like a party I need to have tonight...I have no presents wrapped yet...I hate I have waited this late. Rush rush rush near the end of the season....love the scarf you made....Merry Christmas, Lori! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThat wrapping party sounds so fun! And the food looks divine. I'm thinking I'll be wrapping presents tomorrow night until 1:30!! Now we have to go make cookies or we might have to leave carrots out for Santa!! :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the scarf!
Merry Christmas!
Hope you have a blessed and very Merry Christmas! ♥ HUGS ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat scarf!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.
What a great idea for a party! We are all so busy this time of year and this is a way to combine business with pleasure.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! May all the fullness of his joy be yours as you celebrate our Savior's birth!
Looks like some great food and great times! The scarf is darling and so is the scarf model! :D Hope you had a blessed Christmas!
