Make A Difference

-

Oh my! We are again in the season of gift wrapping. It's one of my most liking pleasures, and I have been having a lot of fun doing them so nicely and chic.

My empty boxes are ready to be fulfilled. Additionally, I handmade my felt christmas socks as you see:




This year my theme is recycling! Therefore I will use the magazine pages as packaging paper to wrap my gifts for these pretties, and colorful bows made from used book pages.

I have a few more in the works, but just wanted to share this one with all of you. Really very good than I supposed to be. I like very much my eco-wrapped-gift, and highly advice you all not to spend extra cents for fancy papers.

Just the time to save the nature as usual! Let's go green and think about future generations!






While I am trying to get everything done this weekend, I leave you with a cool music video of Istanbul, featured on two sides along Bosphorus strait . I think you will love watching it and also the fusion music which combines our traditional dynamics in rhythm and style:

    Good idea to wrap things in old newspapers, if everyone would do it would save a lot of trees. I wonder what is in the package, lol.
