Gifting 101: Just Because Gifts and DIY Gift Wrapping

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a terrific 4th of July.  The weather here in the south was beautiful with very low humidity and somewhat mild temps.  I’m glad I we had a long weekend because this week is going to be jammed pack.  I’m spending Monday completing a few projects before I head off to the Atlanta Gift Mart for the gift and furniture show.  Then I’m spending the end of the week at the Haven Conference and can’t wait.  I so excited to be attending this conference for the first time and to meet new friends and bloggers.

Although my week is going to be crazy I’ve got a full week of blog post scheduled for you.  A little design, a bit of fashion and some crafting–all the things I love.  Today I’ve got some fun and creative gift ideas for you. Enjoy!

Black and White Gift Wrap by ConfettiStyle8

For me, giving gifts doesn’t just have to happen on a birthday, at Christmas or on a special occasion.  I love to give gifts to friends and family, Just Because.

A Just Because Gift can be something small or something a friend may have mentioned that they would love to have.

A Just Because Gift can be something as simple as a journal where dreams can be captured, a piece of my hand-made jewelry or maybe  fun party decor for a friend that likes to entertain.  Just Because!

About a week ago I told you I was itching to paint something pink.  Well, here’s what ended up at the other end of the spray paint can…. this tray!
What started out as a $1.00 melamine tray ended up as a fun summer addition to my DIY bar cart.  The color works perfectly with the monogrammed plate I picked up from C Wonder last year and is a vibrant contrast to the gold bar cart.
While I’m in a pink mood, I’m also doing a little summer update to my bedroom which I share soon.
Until then…enjoy these weekend reads….
