The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis
i was randomly going through some drawers in my old room at my parents' place, and found this folded sheet of sanrio wrapping paper. so precious.
A terminal dose of miserable self pity has prevented me making the cards I had planned on making but I did make my own wrapping paper. These were made with good old fashioned brown parcel paper - the stuff you'd use to patch up the head of a Jack who's just broke his crown falling down the hill - potatoes and some kind of gouachey paint - but not the gouache watercolours I normally use. It's part of an ancient yorkshire custom (I don't live in yorkshire now but spent much of my life there and am a naturalised yorkshireman ) known as 'spending as little money as possible'. This tradition goes back to antiquity and has often caused the word yorkshireman to be uttered in the same sentence as 'tightarse' and 'short arms and deep pockets'.
To another TIE Interceptor set. Instead of having two of them to fly around the house, though, he'd like to exchange it for other Star Wars related merch.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Not a lot went on today. We had lunch at Mean Greens, where they had a chocolate fountain going. I assume it was there to gross us all out and question everything. At home, Emily gave me these bags of homemade conversation hearts, made by a local Denton baker person. Even though they didn’t actually have conversations on them, they were really good! I like the size and crunch level, and the variety of flavors. I gave Emily a King Size bag of peanut M&M’s, which she’s already almost finished. Yay! Solid Valentine’s.
I needed wrapping paper for a birthday gift for my niece and I didn't like any of the choices in the store so i made my own in bulk.
Once my stash got caught in the rainstorm and I was told I could replace my giftwrap, I went out and bought a few rolls. The three tallest rolls being new, as well as the hidden stripe behind the blues. The three solid blues and the silver on silver dot were already here inside the house, for use as birthday and wedding wraps. The blue with green trees and green-on-green were at the bottom of the old holiday stash, and not quite as affected.
I'm thinking I'm going to use the damaged wrap as box stuffing/etsy packaging for the rest of the season, to recycle it.
Zig came out of nowhere to reclaim the wrapping paper from Roxy. If you look at his back feet you can see that he has just stomped her head!

The prompt for today was "Wrapped with Love". Well, my gifts will be wrapped with love... if I ever get around to wrapping them!

Chicago Printed String Company dates its origins back to 1898 to a company founded by Aron Weiner outside Prague in what is now the Czech Republic. The business made cotton bands that surrounded hats. Weiner moved to Chicago in 1912 – 1913 and founded Chicago Printed String in 1915. Its business was now advertising tape: cotton yarn imprinted with a company name used for binding, which it called Print-Ad-String. RIBBONETTE featured material comparable to silk and satin ribbons. The company moved to what became 65,000 square feet of space at 2300 W. Logan Blvd. in 1929. By 1960, it was reported the company produced 600 million yards of decorative ribbons and 210,000 reams of wrapping paper. To show its diversification, the company changed its name to CPS Industries in 1965. Shortly thereafter, it moved its production facilities to Tennessee and, two years later, was sold to Papercraft Corporation. Faced with the wrecker’s ball, the building was saved in 2004 and currently houses a fitness center.
Candi and I have exchanged Christmas (and other assorted) gifts for a few years now and last year she even made us a special Red Cat Angel to honor the memory of our precious boy that passed away in September 2006, it tops our tree now every year.
This year when our delightful box of goodies arrived, I was immediately blown away buy some of the wrapping paper which had kitties on it and can you believe, the orange tabby looks exactly like our Red Cat! Art immediately knew which photo it resembled so I've made a comparative diptych and I don't think there's any denying where the source for this cute "painting" came from.
Candi, I may have forgotten to mention it before but DAMN GOOD FIND GIRL! :-)
My current door decoration. I hate decorating my door. Notice the big bottle of Germex that greets the students as they enter the room! Haha!
