I love to see someone's face light up when they receive a beautifully decorated gift. It shows that you are giving them a gift out of genuine appreciation for their presence in your life. I have a lot of fun creating new designs that match the person or occasion. This is why I created this site to introduce the art of gift decorating. You don’t need a lot of time or money to wrap a beautiful gift. I will show some easy designs for when you need to wrap something quickly and also elaborate designs for that special occasion. I hope you enjoy the site. Gina
