I’ve never claimed to be good at wrapping gifts, it isn’t a talent of mine and I don’t necessarily aspire to become a gifted wrapper.
(Oh, I’m funny….get it? “gifted wrapper!” Ha!)
Sorry, I digress. Being someone who doesn’t fancy-up her packages, I always am amazed at people that do. My sister-in-law, for example, is really amazing and creative and her presents should be displayed somewhere unopened because they look so pretty.
I must take after my dad and grandpa in the wrapping category because I think my dad has been using the same roll of newsprint since before I was born, he also uses duct tape. My grandpa once wrapped a gift covered in old Christmas cards taped all over the box for my brother.
This year isn’t any different, but it is the first year that I’ve got wrapping paper that I LOVE. I picked it up at IKEA on my annual ‘back to school’ trip and didn’t know how cool was until a few days ago. It is double sided and it has pink polka dots on it! Granted, it isn’t at all Christmasy (is that a word?) but I’m still using it.
Maybe I will be a gifted wrapper after all of this. Brew-ha-ha!!
Gifted wrapper.
Brew-ha-ha!!
