May no gift be too small to give,

nor too simple to receive,

which is wrapped in thoughtfulness

and tied with love.

~ by L.O. Baird ~

After my son opened his presents this was my floor...

Some christmas presents lying on the floor.

This took the longest and it had to be wrapped inch by inch to move with the letters.

A bit of a 'Sneak-Peak' into the package I sent away to my unmet friend in Portugal!

She seem like a cool lady, and I hope that she enjoys each item she receives!

Christmas decorations!

Our friends Marty and Julie wrapped our gift with home made paper featuring a picture of Todd and I from their wedding. It was so hysterical that I saved the wrapping!

This is a sample of a kaleidoscope tessellation requested by, and created for, a friend (Gina) I met here on Flickr. She makes candy wrappers, gift wrap, bookmarks, etc., but her site is no longer online, so I'm not sure where to get her products any longer.

Only sample tiles are available for viewing since I used her original picture instead of one of my own or one from Flickr with a CC license.

Some website once had a list of "Somenumber of Things Every Man Should Know How to Do"
