Very clever. I like to wrap gifts in newspaper. Comic section for the kids, news section for the men, arts & leisure for friends, etc.

I think its wonderful - those trains are very nice and so much fun - esp. for a grown up - these weren't made for children.

I buy bags at the $1 store, especially for new baby gifts.
What is really cute is to make a mini quilt for the front of your homemade card.

I've always spelled the refrigerated trailers as "reefers" too.

When I run out of wrapping paper that I have already, I will us Christmas fabric! So ideal! Of course, so easy to make Christmas bags of all sizes to be used year after year!
