Well, I'll tell ya. I am a raging wrapaholic. I have the largest, most wonderful stash of luscious ribbon and wrapping paper you could shake a pair of scissors at, but I cannot resist the stuff when it's on sale after the holidays.
Not only that, I'm not using it up at the rate I used to. As the kids in our family got bigger and bigger, their presents got smaller and smaller. Like down to the size of gift cards and iTouches. Things I could wrap in a sheet of printer paper. Where's the challenge in that? I'm an artist with a shrinking canvas.
I blame Target. And Hobby Lobby. And CVS. And every other store that sees me coming, and encourages their salespeople to nudge their provocative 75% off displays closer to my line of vision. It's certainly not my fault that I ended up with four more reels of wired ribbon yesterday (hey - I've never seen white with candy-cane binding, or hot pink with art deco circles) and some fabulous rolls of paper (you know I only buy them because I need the cardboard inside).
Yes, I did it again. And I'll do it again. And again. But I'm safe now for another year. Whew. Now let's put a bow on this and close the subject. (What? You need a bow? I have just the right ribbon!)
