In 2008 the artist Mark Wallinger produced a wrapping paper design that was given away with the Guardian newspaper. Mark has given me permission to use his design to create some new images to stimulate thought and reflection.
I have produced a series of four images which will be printed on postcards and distributed to every home in our parish.

Since I didn't get a working scanner again until 3 weeks after I had already packed away all my Xmas stuff, and waiting until it's time to pull it out and decorate to scan it all would mean delaying my usual decorating start time by a week (I have a LOT of crap), I drug it all back out and have been scanning it all non stop.
But for funsies, here's a sneak preview. I love getting ahead of schedule with anything, it really is one of my giddy pleasures. I already have most of my Halloween stuff scanned! The Valentines day stuff to be shared every day up until Feb 14th has all been scanned a week ago
Anyhoo, this was a 4 foot long section of wrapping paper found in some of my Grandmas old stuff, it was pretty brittle and crinkly, my mom ironed it gingerly

~Re: Ember's Pollies...the mini theatre one is cute, certainly the cutest of the new minis. I think the art studio might be #2, followed by the TV/pull-out couch, bunny hutch, & nursery. Although, compare that with my nursery compact (not 100% fair since mine is a standard-size and this is a mini, but still), and you see how there's no comparison between the 90s Pollys and these. It's as if the latter were designed by people with bigger, fatter, lazier hands. The originals have mesmerizing fine detail, realism, creativity. The new Pollies (no I can't decide on the spelling) have big chunks of solid-colored plastic that obscure detail, cartoonier inserts, little to no concern for scale, etc. Mom did in fact pick the best one for my birthday (the doughnut house.) This sandcastle has the coolest outer shape, plus the lower level looks neat. Many of the new ones are like that--either the upper or lower level is better, and it's tough to choose among them. I compared my beach, school, and spa with their current counterparts, and plainly...there IS no comparison. Had the current PPs been the PPs of the 90s, the line could never have been so beloved and magical. It'd just be a "cute" one that you would've had one or a few of, like Star Castle or something.
Most of the new ones do have certain cute, even adorable, elements...but on the whole they blatantly have a fraction of the effort put in. As with most things. They just degenerate over time rather than improving or even maintaining quality. The sandcastle one looks fine irl, but check out the theater. www.flickr.com/gp/poodiedogge/v1475C Look at the sloppy, inaccurate, bubbly sticker placement. And the carpeting that's not as advertised (or as pretty.) Never mind that the piano lacks black keys in the first place.
Do they think kids won't notice or care? They deserve to have the same glorious beauty I did. Polly used to be much muchier. She's lost her muchness. The generic little heart sticker sheet they threw in decidedly does not compensate.
~Ma's Primavera Haribos...damn, but she needs a bigger stocking. That itsy-bitsy thang can't even take a candy bag. >< Her jadeite salt & pepper cellars may need a label for the pepper one because they only sell ones that say "salt." WTFH. But I saved a nice label & can print it on green. My shopping/selection, gangsta-wrappin', labeling, and stickering have delighted me once again. ^3^ Especially the penguin coordination of Hunter's. x3
~That was the fun part. I need more for boys, and they are tricky af to buy for. Just got some ideas for Fred but then still need more Joe. Dx I have some trip/activity coupons for Dad and wanna go in on a new, hopefully non-squeaky/creaky office chair. Ornaments for once are an impossible choice--no clear winners in a huge bunch of 20-40, so I in my infinite brilliance say, "Why not all? Print the image of the whole group, laminate, punch a hole, et voila! 30-something cute new ormanents in one!" +D Genius.
This is my favorite of my steamer trunk luggage gift wrap so far this year. I still have a lot to wrap, so I'm hoping I can improve more. I am so excited about the idea...I hope somebody likes what I'm going for at Christmas, lol. It's a little messy.

I enjoyed yesterday's shot so much that I just had to reuse the wrapping paper background again. BTW Ikea has the coolest wrapping paper designs!

Occasionally, the Target dollar spot sells this awesome wrapping paper. I've amassed quite a collection over the years, so I'm ready for gift giving at any moment. I especially like the short length of the rolls because I can easily store them in a drawer.
For Our Daily Challenge: Fill the Frame
Hannaux was probably the most prestigious Department Store in Alexandria. I used to go shopping there with my mother.
Is this the only sample left in the world, dating from the 1940s?
It lines the drawer of the desk given to me by Harold Buckland, an Australian Airman we met at Sidi Bishr. He was an architect and designed this desk and the pencil/pen supports to go with it. I use them every day!
Read about the Hannaux family here:
and google "grand magasins hannaux"
Me: What did you get and give each other?
Mom: Well, the first Christmas was one of the nicest Christmases Daddy and I ever had. We had no money, or very little money, and all the presents you see there were for family members, and Daddy and I allowed ten dollars for each of us to buy something for the other. Now you have to remember in those days rent was like $120.
Me: According to an inflation calculator on a government website, $10 in 1962 has has the same buying power as $72.24 does today.
Mom: We really put a lot of care into buying a whole bunch of things we both wanted. Maybe Daddy got me my favorite perfume. I just remember it being so special because both of us were trying to get the most for our money. It was one of the most thoughtful Christmases.

We've gotten A LOT of our Christmas shopping done already! We will avoid the crazy crowds, however I will be twiddling my thumbs for a month!
Two more days left to buy my new Christmas EP, "Snow Day." Go to mikedschmid.googlepages.com to get yours.
another one for the record books.... the most traditional looking present I think I've ever wrapped. But this year I wanted to use plaid ribbon.
so I did.
