I'm dreaming of a twine christmas...

Oh dear it's that time of year again.  Luckily all my xmas shopping was done on the 20th November, there's nothing like a looming house move to pressure-cook your organisation skills.

  

 Red and twine is this year's wrapping theme, not that I put too much effort into this aspect.  The end result will be the same regardless, the ribbons are inherited by the cats. They aren't too picky about their ribbon requirements as far as I'm aware, if they are they haven't yet vocalised their demands.




 
On my xmas shopping trip I overheard a wrapping design exchange between a couple.
Bloke: "what about this one?"
Wife: "no, I did pink and white last year"
Bloke: "why does that matter?"
Wife: "you wouldn't understand".

No dear wife, the poor bloke most certainly doesn't understand, their brains just aren't wired to care about these things.  It's enough to make you wonder that if a person can't care about annual wrapping themes then just what is worth caring about anymore. 

Without carefully thought out, annually evolving, interior design inspired gift wrap, this country will quickly go to the dogs. 

 

 

 

 

I'm practising my hand-stamping skills ready for the wedding in September, where I will be manually stamping the names of all 80-odd guests onto personalised place settings.

 

 

 

I was going to stamp 'this gift will self-destruct if squeezed, squished, rattled or man-handled' but I'd need a bigger gift tag.
