I am taking Adara of Giovanni up on her offer of assistance. I am expecting you at 9AM tomorrow morning. Bring lots of paper bags.
I am interested in the brown paper bag + bow wrapping scheme, but I'm still using paper from 1999 to wrap. You go to one after Christmas sale...
I am reminded of a friend who does something very similar, but she uses butcher paper, both white and brown, and then uses rubber stamps and glittery ink, raffia, holly berries, etc to jazz up the package.
I am telling the world that these packages are utterly beautiful and a shame to unwrap.
I am also reminded that she has the enthusiasm of a caffeinated wren and the stamina of a team of draft horses. Therefore, I expect this kind of thing from no one, especially myself.
