Just wrapping up some presents for the student tutor. One's a brick (to weight the box down or 'build her dream home') and the other's a USB fish tank! All put into one big shoe-box (which was wrapped later!) - I put a proper tag on that one too!
I like to wrap presents. I know I'm supposed to feel bad about wasting paper, but I do a few things to mitigate my guilt. For example, I reuse paper - be it wrapping or not. This particular gift for the lovely-bride-to-be was wrapped in a Canadian Tire flyer and was affixed with a lovely grosgrain ribbon (which I save and reuse). It still looked classy I was told.
Well of course it did. All my gifts look classy.
Colorful, polka-dotty shoes. I haven't bought any Converse in a while. Actually, I haven't worn any Converse in a while. What has gotten into me??
What is it with cats and bags, wrapping paper, boxes??? As soon as we discarded some wrapping paper from our presents Zag decided to walk around on them then curl up for a snooze on them
Well, now that I've figured out how to do stop motions, I might as well put up this one that I did on Christmas and never actually completed because I didn't know how, and I guess I was too lazy to go to google and look up how. But really it's not that hard. So anyway, six months late, merry Christmas.
Griffin was his normal helpful self. He graciously helped me rip open all of my Christmas presents, wanting nothing in return. Could he be sweeter? I think not! :)
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.
Christmas 2012, Brian used painters tape, duck tape, and a mix match assortment of ways to wrap gifts this year.

This pic was shooting bubbles using dawn dish-washing liquid, a clear Pyrex casserole dish, and back-lighting. I used wrapping paper to bounce the light off of to reflect in the bubbles.
Spent a good part of today wrapping presents. I am trying to stay on top of our Holiday prep since I have some surgery scheduled on the 17th...Still waiting for an Amazon order, and I have to do a little more baking!
Day 141 of 365.
Being in the southern hemisphere we really don't have a concept of a "White Christmas" I really do hope we get to experience one at some point, since our Christmas day is usually a steaming hot day in front of a braai near a pool or ocean.
So for Hereios : Snow and TOTW : "Happy Holidays" I made so seriously bad fake snow using some sparkly Christmas wrapping paper
I was going to try for Hereios and ODC, but I could not get the custom bokeh design right using a snowflake symbol. I just don't have the skill with scissors.
