#WrappingWoes

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Mom's wrapping skills would magically improve this year

Picture this: a cozy living room bathed in the warm glow of holiday lights. The scent of pine fills the air as the fireplace crackles softly. Stockings, carefully chosen and brimming with excitement, dangle from the mantel. Yet, beneath the surface of festive anticipation, there's a touch of humor in the air.

In the spirit of full disclosure, those stockings were hung not only for St. Nick but also in the hope that somehow, miraculously, Mom's wrapping abilities would ascend to new heights. 🎅🤶

We've all been there—the tape mishaps, the uneven edges, the attempt at a perfect bow that ends up looking more like a friendly knot. But here's the beauty of it all: the joy isn't in flawless presentation; it's in the shared laughter, the love poured into every wrapped surprise, no matter how unique.

So, this holiday season, let's revel in the delightful imperfections. Let the stockings tell a tale of attempted perfection and the love stitched into each fold of wrapping paper. Here's to the magic of imperfectly wrapped surprises and the joy they bring. 🎄❤️

Any tips for irregular shaped stones? This ammolite wowed me, but I wasn't able to even out the overall shape so my wrap looks wonky despite all my counting and measuring :-P #wireweaving #wrappingwoes #ammolite https://www.instagram.com/p/B3hrkV_AZJB/?igshid=1ll5ll7485qiz
