Take for instance presents. I love giving well wrapped presents, taking 5 minutes out to choose a nice colour ribbon and perhaps even using a bit of tissue paper in the layering.
My favourite paper to use is simple brown paper. It seems rather organic to me and works well for pretty much any occasion depending on what you use to adorn it with. If it's a child's gift, have the kids draw over the paper in bold textas and add bright ribbon. I appreciate the personal touch : )
The contradiction comes in somewhere about now: I am terrible at dates. I really truly am. No matter what system I have set in place to be sure I cant miss friends birthdays it always fails. Dismally. Catastrophically.
I am lucky to have such understanding friends who know I really do love them despite being so forgetful over their special days.
My latest idea for breaking the birthday-block came to me last night. Perhaps if I set up a wrapping station, complete with a printed list of everyones birthdays at hand, I could break my abysmal record of forgetfulness.
So, a few bits of dowel, some hooks and a delve under the bed and in the closet for hidden away wrapping supplies and I had this:
Wish me luck!
