Happy Birthday Honey

My husband's birthday present this year
Those 3 newspapers that I purchased for coupons have been coming in handy. One great thing about using newspaper for gift wrapping is that when your 2 year old paints all over it and adds a few of his favorite stickers the gift has so much personalized character. I think this is my favorite wrapping job I've ever done (it was a joint effort for sure between me and my son so I shouldn't take too much credit for it).

  1. Super cute! I may need to try that. ;-) Rather than buying cards, my kids send all birthday cards, thank you notes, etc on cardstock, & then draw their own pictures. People love it!

    1. My husband is in no way sentimental but he was really impressed with the wrapping paper. Score!

  2. I think this looks way better than wrapping paper. As a parent, I would way rather look at my kids art than commercial art.

    1. It was great how much fun Abner had painting it too. He's old enough now that he understands what a birthday is and he was SO proud of himself for having a part in wrapping daddy's gift.
