Wrapping Presents

I really don't mind wrapping the presents.  I really do mind that I forget where I put the presents before I wrap them.  Sometimes I hide them too well.  This year, I shopped online and and had lot of things sent directly to TN.  I also packed a box of small things I'd purchased and mailed them.  The problem with that was that I forget what I put in the package and wound up thinking I'd left them in VA, so buying again.  Luckily I only replaced one (1) item before I realized what I had done.  I think Christmas makes me a little crazy!
This year I've picked out blue paper with lots of silver and white snowflakes.  Kind of a break from the traditional red and green.  One year I did a natural look and wrapped the gifts in brown paper and tied them with twine.  I stamped Christmasy things on them.  It was all very thematic.  I didn't really love it and have never repeated it.  Give me glitz and glitter every time!

  1. I always manage to hide presents too! Luckily for me, most of them are for Frank and his birthday is in February! So that works well for me! :) Most of the time I hide them and then totally forget that I even bought it until sometime in January!! :)
