Merry Christmas, Anne! Yes, it is Christmas morning here in Louisiana. Our Christmas got delayed because two members have the flu! So we’re going to convene this Saturday instead. And I am watching UA-cam videos as I usually do every day. I’m glad I found yours because now I can save Christmas paper. My sister thinks I am a hoarder, but we know better, right?! I hope you and your family have a great day. Let us know what y’all had to eat! I am going to our local cafeteria, which will be open for a short while today and have cornbread dressing and turkey. They make it almost exactly like my sister does and it is delicious. Have a great day, Donna, Jo
Watching on Christmas morning before my family wakes up and I also hope to sneak in some crafting today too! Thankful I found your videos this year! Merry Christmas.
I don’t have to remind my family to save wrapping paper or gift tags,. After everything is unwrapped everyone starts folding and handing things to me. I’m excited about the bag of trash , ribbon, gift tags I’ll have by end of day, lol. Enjoy your day, hugs to you my friend
Oh, girlfriend. You popped up today in my feed. And I immediately thought. YYYAAASSS. My daughter teases me because I say , "is it really trash?". No no no. Lol. Thank you. And I'm watching early Christmas day. Blessings to you ❤
🎄 Joyeux Noël Anne merci pour cette belle idée 🥰 nous avons réveillonné avec mes filles et mes 5 petits enfants (le petit dernier à 15 jours 🤗) et j'ai plein de papiers cadeaux 🎁 à utiliser encore merci et bonnes fêtes de fin d'année 🕯️
Patricia, the same for me! I do not have any children and my only family is my sister, her two girls and their husbands and three children. I sometimes spend Christmas with them but sometimes I’ll take a trip. One year I went to New Orleans and did all the sightseeing things. Sometimes I stay at a hotel here in Baton Rouge especially the one that has a huge Christmas Buffet! Update: I just texted my sister and we’re going to go to that nice hotel here that’s having the Buffet! Is there a Buffet in the town that you live in? It’s quite expensive this year, double what I paid about four years ago, but it’s worth it it’s once a year and I have the money to splurge so it’s gonna be fun maybe you can splurge?
@@DonnaJo3452 I thought about that but I decided to buy a Italian sub & nibble & craft. I bought some Christmas cookies for dessert. This way I do not have to drive today. Went to church last night. Enjoy your day. Merry Christmas from Arizona.
I'm making Xmas memory books to give my grandkids when they reach adulthood. I'll use the ideas from this series in it. Thank you. Yule blessings on you and yours.
Thanks for hanging out on Christmas eve. Just finished the lasagne I made to bring to my daughter's house in new jersey just over the bridge to philly. Presents not wrapped in bags. I always underestimate how long things take me these days. My back is a disc mess so it gets painful and need to sit and relax before I drive almost 2 hours. The grandkids just called to say we are watching a movie tonight in our fav pjs which my daughter supplies and eating popcorn and candy. They are so excited 😊❤. Thanks for all you do anne for this community. I for one appreciate it a great deal. Happy holidays anne with an e. Hugs from little egg harbor nj 😊❤❤❤
Yes, here I am watching crafty-ness on Christmas Eve day! I love the way you tthink, those are all great ideas! Thanks for the inspiration and have a great Christmas!
Great ideas! Here I am on Christmas Eve eyeing presents under the tree that would be good candidates for saving wrapping! I wonder what will be the focus on New Year’s Eve!
I’m watching at 3am mountain time. Everything is wrapped and under the tree. The stockings are stuffed. I’m ready to relax and sleep till the teens get up at 8am. Thanks for this !🎄
Anne, great ideas. After everyone opens their presents every year, my boys and their spouses hand back all the boxes to me. They know the drill. My husband thinks I am crazy but I have lots of great memories from those boxes and Christmas wrap. Merry Christmas.❤
I am picturing you and I sorting through the paper trash... again. 🤣😂🤣😂 Such a fun way to Re-use and no pressure to create a masterpiece. Merry Christmas from ❄️☃️🎄snowy Grand Rapid!🎄☃️❄️. Warm Holiday Hugs and Lots of Love ❤️
Good morning. Enjoying your video while I wake up with coffee and pizzelles. Thank you for sharing your tips this morning. Wishing all a Joyful and Blessed Holiday ❤️
❤❤Anne!! What a great idea!! Yes, I love this so much. My grandson just got some gifts early, and he said, do you want this grandma?? Of course! A bag, and some paper. I remember thinking, not really pretty paper, but I'll do something,, THIS is perfect! And, thank you so much for the shout out. Merry Christmas my friend 🧡 🎄 😊 🎅 🌲
Happy holidays Anne! Very timely video! I just finished taking the leftovers from wrapping gifts and folding them flat. I didn’t have a plan for using them, just knew I wanted to use them. Couple that with I struggle to use those flyers and this solves two quandaries in my crafty headquarters! I love Christy’s enthusiasm too! Hope everyone is building memories and relaxing! Blessings!
Happy Holidays Anne! Actually, you're right on time! I was planning on joining in on the Merry Mondays project to get ready for next year and this is perfect.
I'm watching. Yes, it's Christmas Eve, but everything is ready for tomorrow. Both packages wrapped and under the tree, reservations made for late lunch/early dinner tomorrow, and ready for a dinner out tonight with family.
Such good ideas! I appreciate seeing this today, because you’ve given me a strategy for intelligent paper saving. I would love to see what you do with an Amazon gift bag! Merry Christmas! May your holiday be joyful.
Hi Anne. I will now look at used paper a little differently. I would Ike to share an idea of mine. My hubby and I were wrapping our Granddaughter's Christmas gift which was rather large (too big for comventional gift wrap). So we used some kraft shipping paper to cover the box. And I had a 4 in by about 15 inch scrap of the most beautiful turquoise foil paper which wasn't big enough to wrap anything. So I cut it into pieces which would fit into my Big Shot and die cut assorted snowflakes and then glued them to the package to make it look prettier. I will definitely rethink gift wrap scraps and use them more creatively. Thanks for all your ideas. Have a Merry Christmas. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊🎄
So funny and fantastic. While I was wrapping my gifts I was picking out the paper I want to save from the fireplace and the recycling bin. 🤣🤣 I really like the idea of glueing them to the junk mail and I can use them for my gift card holders or like you said anything. I've easily added to my stash. I was working on my soap recipes to make a few batches Friday. So yeah watching videos. 😁 Thank you Anne, again Merry Christmas. ,🤗🎄🔔
You're wondering if anyone is crafting this early Christmas Eve morning... I am! It's either do that or run to Walmart for some fresh Brussels sprouts! Your idea is brilliant, as per usual, and I have just the paper to use. I'll make a pile o' scraps while I wrap presents later today. Merry Christmas, dear one, and give my best to Dan and the family. Christmas hugs, MK 🤗 ❤❤🤗 😲🤣🤣🤣🤣 Tape from unpacking boxes?? ✅ You 🙌 KNOW I've got some of that! Oh my goodness!
Hey there, Anne, I'm crafting 🎉 this Christmas Eve morning! Love your tutorials. Looking forward to 2025 and learning so much more from you. Merry Christmas, from me in the mountains of North Carolina 😊
I will be watching craft channels. Especially your, Anne. You have the BEST ideas for junk journaling ! I’m stuck at home with Covid. No Christmas for me,😢 But at least I can make a couple of kooky Christmas birds, lol Merry Christmas to you, Anne and your loved ones 🎄✨❤
OH no, I am so sad for you that you have COVID, especially at Christmas time. I really had no idea people were still getting the virus. I do pray that you heal up sooner than later. Somehow I'm sure you can still make it a memorable Christmas. 🌹
As Pam at the Paper Outpost says "everything is a craft supply until proven other wise". Have a wonderful holiday season.
I’m 100% watching crafting videos on Christmas Eve ❤
Very informative! Thanks for sharing!

This is what happened to me today. My family gave all their wrapping paper to me.
A Christmas morning watch for me!, waiting for time to put breakfast in the oven and husband ready to be up. A chill day for us.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you so much for all the fun and inspiration you share in your channel. Happy New Year!
I'm watching on Christmas Day after our Christmas breakfast with family... Merry Christmas from Australia

Great idea. It will be just the dog & me. My husband died a couple years ago. My son is working Christmas. I will do some crafting & listen to music.
Sounds like a perfect day to me. Enjoy!
