Tackle it Tuesday....On Thursday....UPDATED

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

Ok, so perhaps starting my very first tackle it Tuesday post on a Thursday isn't the best way to kick things off, but better late than never, yes? My understanding of Tackle it Tuesday is that it began with a mom who intended to post about tackles she accomplished around the home. I am not a mom, but don't see why I can't adapt this to post other things I am tackling. Mostly, I'm just trying to get back into regular posting, and this seems like a great idea to me.

So here goes!

My husband and I got back from our honeymoon yesterday (yes, I do intend to put together a blog post on this soon!), leaving us just  few days to get ready for Christmas. The day we got back, I braved the parking lot hell that is Santana Row to get over to The Container Store for some cute wrapping supplies. I will admit that I actually really enjoy wrapping presents when I have nice quality paper and fun bows to work with, so I figured I'd spring for some nicer stuff this year to make wrapping a bit less of a chore.


We are still waiting on a few presents to be delivered, but this is what we have so far. Go me!

UPDATE

I don't think I had an accurate idea of just how many gifts I needed to wrap when I originally posted this tackle. 24 hours, 2 rolls of wrapping paper, about 60 yards of ribbon and 2 rolls of double sided tape later, this is what has happened:



Now I REALLY can say GO ME!

You rock!! I used to totally do my Tackle's on Tuesday. Then I realized by the time I woke up, started, and then finished and was able to post, it was a waste. I have my tackle's usually done by Monday now. Sometimes I will do a couple of weeks in advance to get them ready and out of my hair and stresses. It's a fun sort of game. ;) Except, sometimes I just get too excited to share it already!
