I'm a [w]rapper

Today I am over at Me Making Do with a tutorial on how to make these quick and easy Paper Twine Flowers.

Because I'm a wrapper.  
Sorry gift-baggers.  
Call me old fashioned or non-green or whatever.
I swoon over rolls of pretty paper and spools of sashaying ribbon and oodles of happy tape.
I am a sucker for it all.
[whoosh!!]
That was me be sucked in, trying to take you with me.
Check out the tutorial

  4. I'm a wrapper at heart but I'm a horrible procrastinator so I often wind up being a dollar-store-bag-purchased-on-the-way-over -er. lol. But at Christmas time I like to coordinate my presents and make bows and put on candy canes and stuff! :D The only problem is when a gang of three year old finds your wrapping supplies and eats all your candycanes.

  10. i guess i didn't realize there was a rival between the wrappers and the giftbaggers. :)

    when ben and i were dating i confessed i thought wrapping was really one of my greatest talents.

    true or not it is still at least one of my favorite pastimes for SURE. so i suppose i should invest in some paper twine...

  11. Katy! I'm so excited to see this post. I love paper twine, I remember my mom using it for crafts when I was younger and I had so much fun untwisting it. I have a stock of paper twine from paper bag handles that I've kept over the years. I could never think of what to do with them, but now I know!
