AuburnChick's Adventures

I fixed Ms. Jean’s care package yesterday! What a grand time I had too!!!

FYI…I LOVE wrapping presents at Christmas. Lots of ribbon is the key.

I did the best I could, using tissue paper, so the individual packages are odd-shaped.

I kept all of the cards with the items they belonged to.

Here’s what it looked like when I got started…

Here’s what it looked like after I had wrapped a few items…

Here’s what they all looked like when I got done…

Here’s a close-up of the note I wrote…

Now it was time to put everything in a box. Easier said than done. The first box was too small, so I tried another one.

Obviously, this one was too small. Time to move up in size…

I figured out that you can smoosh packages only so much before they quit smooshing.

I didn’t have another box big enough, so I trotted off to the post office to get one. It poured down rain, of course. I was wet when I got home, but dab-nab-it…I had the box I needed…

The box I wound up with is on the left.

I’m going to put it in the mail on Monday.

I sure do wish I could see her face when she opens everything. Of course, not seeing is really part of the joy in giving. Kind of like leaving a gift for a neighbor, ringing the doorbell, and running like crazy to avoid detection.
