...that is how much I spent for all of this today.
I ran to Goodwill to donate some stuff on lunch (all sorts of stuff we have had all year, this was the 2nd run, but of course we forget to do it by end of 2008, oh well!) and it took shorter time than I thought so on the way back to work I noticed Hobby Lobby. It is not somewhere I usually shop but Dave mentioned there was one sorta between home and work so I decided to stop in, thinking this late after Christmas I may get a bow or two, or even cheap tissue.
I coulda done more but I was afraid how much I was spending :P
So here is the breakdown of what I got for $35.46
-2 Hat Boxes ($1.72 each)
-4 packs 120-sheet tissue ($0.80 each)
-7 packs of 3/ea tape ($0.80 each pack)
-6 pack of 3/ea curled bows ($0.45 each set)
-5 rolls 60SF/ea wrapping paper ($1.40 each)
-3 packs 10/ea gift boxes, various sizes ($1.20 each)
-10 packs 3/ea hard cardstock with foam-backed tape gift tags ($0.40 each)
-3 rolls wire ribbon (2 @90yd, 1 @30yd) ($2.00 each)
(I think my math may have been a little off there somewhere as I am not sure that added up to $35, but you get the idea, friggin' CHEAP!!! That reciept is SO HARD to read the way they have it laid out)
A lot of you know I am completely OCD about wrapping gifts. I LOVE to do it. Year-round. I would not be caught dead with gift bags - only this past year I started using reuseable boxes, and it was mainly when we were on our way to a family birthday and buying the gifts on the way...it bugged the hell out of me but I justified it in my head that they are reusable so therefore more eco-friendly. I have always loved Hat Boxes so I do buy some of those...I hate buying pre-made bows but I always like to keep some on hand, especially for shipping or a small box (I make a few damn good unique bows but those DO look good on small small boxes, admittedly). I also have to match. We have 2-3 rolls left over from this past Christmas but I will not be reusing it. The kiddos can use it for art projects or something.
And...those 2 hat boxes? I bought them with The Girl in mind, but I love them so much I think I am going to go back tomorrow and get more! Most of the ones left over were ugly...there were a few of these - I have to wonder if they were left with the ugly ones because there were even BETTER ones but whatever, I kinda love these. I think if I go back tomorrow I will get a few more of the Hat Boxes and maybe more tissue and boxes because who doesn't need those. And wire ribbon, oh yes. I think I have enough paper, tho.

I just realized that some of my gift wrap papers (those in sheets, not in rolls) are actually 1:sqrt2 rectangles. Who would've thought.
It's not of standard A sizes (neither it's B or C series for that matter), but the ratio is just exactly right. I don't know about you guys, but it's a big deal to me :D

This is the tiny Christmas tree we went with this year. It's a little sickly looking tree, purchased from Target for $9.99, that needed a good home. In the background, on the wall, are two photos, one I took and processed in my little black and white lab, the other is from ImageKind, a gallery wrap canvas print of Amy and Oliver.
This photograph was generated from three photos of different exposure values merged in Photoshop.

...after my return home. Jan, my boyfriend, had returned earlier some ten days ago - we spent two weeks together travelling around the Pelloponese in Greece and I stayed longer for the renovation of the " new " apartment my parents bought. He's been reading this book and got torn. So, I fixed it a little bit by using this old Ikea wrapping paper.
