It's (almost) a wrap..

3 days to go and I've finally started wrapping the meager amount of presents I have to give out this year. (Mostly to my sister, the lucky lady!)

I was always spellbound by Julie Andrews saying brown paper packages tied up with string were some of her favorite things and now I'm a "grown-up" I practice it religiously. With the amount of trader joes bags we go through in this house, it's a good thing I was so obsessed with the idea as a girl.

I like to tuck something personal in said string to make distribution easier, though. For my sis I cut out a paper doll and matching outfit from my embarrassingly large collection of Dover paper doll books.

Micha and I adored these old timey paper dolls and always got them from the same general store in Greenfield, New Hampire. At the ripe old age of 24 I still love them and I've long ago passed the point of embarrassment over such things.

And for your own sake, don't get me started on the American Girl dolls of my youth, we'd be here all day.
