There are a few things I get kind of silly over- stationery, cute hand-bags, dessert treats and…pretty little containers!! I mean the simple act of adding ribbon and tags to gussy up my favor boxes was one of the most fun memories from my wedding planning- cheesy right? So needless to say, I am pretty excited about today’s links roundup for DIY packaging.
