the silence



a few stamps and some kraft paper, made for a most festive morning. a bit of martha s., ribbon didn't hurt either ; ) i adore kraft paper, especially for the holiday's.

















it's a quiet day, after a long shift on my feet, yesterday.
i'm enjoying the silence
thinking that what ever it is i'm knitting, might be a nice scarf. are the bigger needles for something special? i am kind of loving them.


hanging out with, miles. have i ever told you, he is at my side, every moment of the day? yep- a girls best friend. either that or it could be because i smell like a restaurant 24-7. ; )


just wanted to stop in and say hello.
that's all.
; )

Wrapping a gift for a loved one is such a fun thing for me to do. Next time I'll try the kraft paper like yours. It's lovely.

It's probably both. He loves you *and* you smell like a restaurant. :)

I look for brown paper off and on. It's my favorite thing to wrap with. Haven't found it lately though.
