Christmas Gifts! :D

Hi, how has your week been going? I am hoping it's going well. :D

Ten more days until Christmas, everyone! Yay! :D

School and life has been so busy, I haven't even gotten around to buying my Christmas gifts yet, eeeeeeek! :O Uh-oh... anyone on the same boat as me?

But, anyways, I will get that done before Christmas, for sure (I hope...). For those of you who've gotten your Christmas shopping done, have you thought about how to wrap your special gifts for your loved ones?

I've scanned these pages from a magazine to help us out in wrapping our gifts:

Which of these is/are your style?

I think I would go for those ready-made containers. First, because I am not the craftiest person alive, haha. And second, because those containers will be like a gift too - they can use it for whatever fits their needs. :D

How did or will you wrap your gifts?

------------------------------------

Hollywood news:

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds filed for divorce. They were married for two years.

I think it's sad because I just read Ryan Reynolds' Sexiest Man Alive interview for People where he said that the best thing about being married is spending everyday with your best friend. Awww. But apparently, Scarlett has been unhappy for a long time, and decided to finally file for divorce. :(

While it is definitely sad, I know many girls out there are rejoicing because Ryan Reynolds is single again! Yes, yes, I am one of those girls, hahaha. ;)

Another reason why girls all over the world are celebrating?

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens broke-up after five years of being together.


Well, this one, I kinda saw coming. It would've been nice to think they would really last, but I don't know, I just kinda knew they would break up sooner or later. What do you think?

    .. I was surprised when Ryan & Scar got married-i didn't even know they had met lol. But i'm not surprised they are divorcing though it seems like they've only been married a few months lol, Hollywood i guess...

  9. Hey Mimi! Thanks for sharing the gift wrap ideas - i'm loving the monogram and edgy styles, though I've already wrapped mine! I put a photo in a recent blog entry :) I'm sure you'll get your xmas shopping done in time - somehow we all manage to pull it off!

    The hollywood breakup news has been everywhere - the one I'm most disappointed about is zac and vanessa! I wasn't really a huge fan of either of them - but being in a h.s.-sweetheart relationship myself, I was kind of rooting for them! Oh well - sometimes ppl grow apart!

  11. Those wrapping ideas are gorgeous, especially in the first picture! I just love the idea of using a flower instead of a bow- it's so pretty and shabby-chic :D

    It's too bad about Scarlett and Ryan- I don't know how she could be unhappy married to someone like him, but you never know! :P

  12. Um, I'm a huge fan of Alanis and I used to like Scarlett so I'm not sure how to react on this one. Lol. About Zac and Vanessa...well I kinda saw it coming also. Sad that they all broke up before Christmas. Whatever happened to exchanging gifts?

    P.S. I'm doing okay Mimi, thanks also for asking. Been really busy and blah but okay :-)

    I feel sorry for Ryan Reynolds, he's so cute!

  28. I love the gift wrap ideas! I generally use different newspapers I find (to recycle) and try to stylize it the best I can, so this post was very cute.

    Also - I'm very content that Ryan is single again if there is any truth to the Hollywood gossip.
