When it comes to patterns and colours I’m really fussy and when I’m making stuff I’m even fussier. I like everything to be perfect or, at least, as neat as possible. Clean cuts and perfect fits are my heavens and so when I was wrapping my fake Christmas gifts I also wanted to add some boxes with lids to the mixture. But since I just ended up switching the colour of the box, it wasn’t any “magical” transformation from what appears to be a closed box into one that you could reuse. The box was made to be reused from the start. So I wasn’t creating something new, I was just giving it a new clean face.

So instead of just spending your time wrapping presents beautifully for then later be ripped off, why …

As I said before in my announcement post, today won’t be a craft, instead of a little walk through what I have done to decorate my office for this special occasion. For the first time, I have a tree of my own to keep me company on the working days and keep my Christmas spirit up. I must say it matches my height. Also, I have two special DIYs to decorate it.
