Paper Cuts...

Country Homes 

   Paper, scissors, tape...GO!  I'm a wrapping fool.  Along with that comes those nasty paper cuts.  My fingers are already covered in band aids, the only ones in the house are these .  At least my fingers are colorful (and glow in the dark).  I feel overwhelmed as most of you probably do.  This weekend will be devoted to the chore of wrapping.  Although it's a labor of love, I hope things go smoother than last year when during my wrapping fest, my back went out and I ended up in the ER.  Did I mention I have a really bad back?  REALLY bad....it's definitely on a naughty list somewhere.  I plan to be more careful this year!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend, (with no back pain and paper cut free ! ) ~xo

Tara,
I hope you make it! I hate how wrapping kills the back. But the end results are just so special it is worth it! Have a nice weekend.

Looks like you found some really pretty papers Tara. I was actually ahead of the game on wrapping this year. Now Christmas cards - that's a whole different story LOL The insanity will be over soon and we can all sit back with our loved ones and enjoy sitting around laughing, eating and playing with all of Santa's goodies! Have a very Merry Christmas Tara.

I haven't wrapped a thing yet! just do some yoga and pliates and your back will be fine. It is the only thing that truly works! I remember pulling mine out when my oldest was 2 just by lifting him, no fun! watch out for those cuts!
Merry Xmas!

Your paper is beautiful!!! I am done wrapping, but now I wish I hadn't finished so early with it . . I can't see what I've bought because it's already wrapped - oh well! Have a wonderful holiday and hopefully pain free wrapping fest!

I was a wrapping fool Monday Night....and my back hurt just a little but I was sooo tired the whole week.
Those papers are so pretty, where are they from? I love the soft reds and greens. I should take a picture of my wrapping....I change it every year..thanks for the reminder...Love your blog..

I know just what you are feeling. Wrapping is a chore indeed. Love your blog and photos, thank you for such inspiration, hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays to you and the family my friend! I have to tell you that my daughters handled ALL of the present wrapping this year~what a relief to have it taken over!! Will TTYS~ XO ~ Janet

Love your choice of papers....they are so elegant yet fun just like you! Oh sweets I am your kindred spirit when it comes to that old back. Mine always goes out around Christmas it seems! Naproxioum (Aleve I think)and take it like you mean it will fix it up in no time. It takes the inflammation away which is what is irritating the nerves in your back. Take it twice a day. Every day until after your back stops hurting.
Doc Di!
