Pretty Packages Party #7

Welcome to the Pretty Packages Party #7!

I love seeing all of your lovely packages and gift ideas each month!

You are all so inspiring!

Since St. Paddy's day is just around the corner, I've got green on my mind!

I just love how it makes a gift pop!

These first three gift ideas are from one of my favorites (thanks to my super savvy MIL,)

Carolyn Rhoeme.  (It doesn't appear as if she is maintaining her website anymore, but it still has some lovely ideas!)  Be sure to check out her book, PRESENTATIONS, for some of the most beautifully wrapped gifts you'll ever seen!  She has a purple and green package that is to die for!   

Isn't the black & white paper with the green ribbon so fresh looking?!?

This is from French Garden House. 

Country Living shared these sweet packages.

This was just a stock photo I found.  The modern pattern with the rustic raffia look great together!

Aqua and lime green are a gorgeous combination!

Polka Dot Cottage presents these beauties!

Pink and green are a never fail happy look.  This was a quick package I put together for a sweet friend of Jack's.

Now, lets see what Pretty Packages you've put together!

This is a PRETTY PACKAGES PARTY so what I'm looking for is beautifully, interestingly, creatively wrapped gifts. The gifts could range from individual gifts, to party favors, to food gifts to birthday presents, to any type of gift or packaging! At the end of the week (if I can wait that long,) I'll chose my favorites to share with everyone.

Please be sure to add your permalink below, and not your general blog address. To get your permalink, click on your post name, then just copy and paste the address that shows up in the address bar at the top, into the "url" box for the picture linky. You'll also need to put your e-mail address in, but don't worry, it will not be visible to anyone.

It would be fantastic if you would include the Pretty Packages Party button in your post, to make it easy for others to find your Pretty Package post. To do that, just copy and paste the Pretty Packages Party button to your computer or grab the html code from underneath the Pretty Packages Party button on my sidebar. A text link under your post is great, too!

Please include a link in your Pretty Packages Party post back to the host blog, The Blackberry Vine. Why is this important? When you include a link back to The Blackberry Vine, it ensures your regular readers/visitors will find the other gorgeously wrapped gifts linked to the Pretty Packages Party. If everyone links back, this maximizes the opportunity for visits for all who participate.

Please do not add your link below, until your Pretty Packages Party post is actually published to your blog. Another helpful hint...DO NOT type in all caps...it makes it very difficult to read! Thanks!

Last, but certainly not least, please comment on the post in front of you and behind you (and any other post!!)...spread the comment love!
