The gifts are bought.
Now comes... the wrapping!
Yesterday at lunch time my office looked like Santa's Workshop. I was frantically trying to make the deadline to ship my East Coast gifts and found myself surrounded by scraps of glitter paper, pieces of yarn, and those annoying spiky balls of excess scotch tape (you know what I mean?)
Wrapping always takes longer than I think. Truth be told, I adore me some pretty wrapping. It's truly an art. I'm always trying to find ways to present pretty gifts in the most resourceful of ways.
I was impressed by the simple but lovely display my boss's wife put together for my gift. She wrapped a cookbook (signed to me by the author!) in a holiday kitchen towel and tied a wooden spoon into the bow. How practorable. (That's practical and adorable put together - I have a feeling it won't catch on)
