Papertrey October 2015 Blog Hop Challenge

This month's theme, over on Nichole Heady's blog, got me wrapping a Christmas present in October. (I'm tempted to do some more) This is unusual for me! I used to wrap presents on Christmas Eve until we had a power cut one year and my smug husband said I should be more organised and have them wrapped way before then. So now I wrap most of them a couple of weeks before.

I struggle for present ideas for my husband...so when he said he liked this item I quickly ordered one! The tag was die cut using tag die#3 (my daughter still loves doing these) from last years Christmas cards. I saw the wrapping paper in the January sale so bought some to match!

The clocks went back today but my son has not adjusted to the new time....I expect we'll all be tired later. 60 sleeps to go! Hopefully I'll have some more presents for my husband by then.

Love
Victoria
