On Saturday I went to a "Sip n' See", to sip champagne and see my girlfriend's new baby girl. There is absolutely nothing cuter than a newborn baby, and this baby was no exception.
The arrival of a new baby is such a touching event that I decided to wrap the gift using Martha's Poetic Wrappings idea. I printed a verse on vellum paper and used it to wrap around the gift. I used the lyrics to The Beatles "Then There Was You" because it's sweet but not overly sappy. That didn't stop me, however, from tearing up when I read it. :overly sentimental here:
Vellum with printed lyrics:
Completed present with lyrics:
I think it turned out pretty cute, and since my friend is a first-time mom, I have a feeling this little addition may end up in her scrap book.
Congrats, C. She's a keeper!
