I have been at the airport for hours Joyce...JOYCE WHERE ARE YOU?????????? JOOOOYYYYCCCCE!!!!!! Come get me!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

One year I set up a wrapping station where I worked, most of my customers were men LMBO I made pretty good money, too :D:D:D

That is a good idea Amma, I love to wrap, DH thinks I am nuts because I insist of wrapping all the things in the stocking as well, even mine. If I have the time I love bows and ribbons, though right now I am not sure where it all is, the kids found some wrap, I like to buy it afterwards, you can get it pretty cheap that way.

I went with bags. They are cute, fast and look nice.

18 years ago my first nephew was born. My hubby made him a toy chest for Christmas, a big box style, that had a slanted lid, then a bookshelf on top. It was about 3 feet wide, and with the bookshelf, almost 5 feet high. With the slanted lid on the front it was very odd shaped.

We wrapped it, and I made a bow (the kind with a little knot in the center of multiple loops). The bow was about 2.5 feet across, the ribbon to make the bow was probably 3" wide, and I think there was 60 loops on the bow. We spray acrylic-ed the bow so it stayed poofed.

For years my sister saved that bow and used it as a wreath on the front door.

That was problably - cross that out - it was DEFINITELY - the most challenging and most fun gift we ever wrapped!

Going shopping Saturday ~ will bring you all supplies to wrap on Sunday!!! lol I HATE TO WRAP!!!

In my family we have some tree-hugger type eco-warriors! lol So we try to use and re-use and then use again gift bags. Yes they are made of paper but they get three and four uses before we retire them. I buy a large roll of paper for things that just can't be put in a gift bag...like my nephew's Play-Mobil jet... but the bags suit me fine. I HATE wrapping.

Hate it, my daughter usually does it for me... like the bags... just stuff it and your done......lol

That's why God created gift bags and tissue paper. I did all my gift with this method plus the person receiving the gift can use it next year. Recycling at it's best :-D

Amen!
