I set my alarm to wake up at 8:00 a.m. every day.  

I know what you're thinking, "8:00 a.m.?! I'd love to sleep that late!"  Since I teach classes at night I typically don't get into bed until 12-12:30 a.m. and like most people after a full day of work, I need some time to unwind.  

What do I do to unwind?  

I lay in bed and play Words With Friends and Dice With Buddies with family and friends. Lights out is typically about 1:00 a.m.. So, getting up at 8:00 a.m. is not that late.

This morning I laid in bed, staring at the 2' Christmas tree on the end table in my bedroom.  I actually had that moment of 'sadness' realizing that Christmas would be here and gone in another 10 days. I'm savoring every moment and that means wrapping those last minute gift cards and gifts.

Today's video project is perfect for gift cards or small gifts.  The Square Pillow Box Thinlits make it super easy to create and I've included a few ideas for decorating the box.  I've also provided a complete list of the supplies I used in this blog post, following the video.
