gift wrap inspiration: 10 ways to pretty your presents

Last weekend I had the great opportunity to work with Tiny Prints on a little gift-wrap party at my house. I will be sharing the event and all of the details this week, along with some great gift wrap ideas courtesy of a few fabulous and talented contributors.
