LOL, I don't take shopping lists to town with me like I should. I had a bridal shower to attend Sunday a bit after noon. Well, in my usual haphazard manner, I discovered I didn't have wrapping paper or a card or anything-----------and shopping was too far away.
So, I pulled out a bolt of drapery fabric that I had no use for and whipped up a shopping bag between Sunday Mass and the noon time shower. And to add to the "no wrapping paper" problem, I had one item that could be simply dropped into the bag but the second wouldn't do right just dropping it in. Thank God---and I mean THANK GOD! a simple solution came to mind. I took the inner bag out of a cereal box and clipped it shut and put it back into the pantry. The cereal box became the wrapper for the 2nd gift. Actually quite fitting IMO. I now had two items that you might pick up in the store---------and a shopping bag to put them in! It was a hit with everyone!
