We're snowed in today....yet another storm promising to turn to rain and/or sleet later on. Our beloved New England Patriots are still going to play football today, which is good for us TV spectators! In any case, we're having so much fun! My husband, son and I have spent the late morning cutting up paper Trader Joe's bags and turning the blank side into handmade wrapping paper. We use rubber stamps, marker, stencils, fingertips dipped in paint or flicked on color....it's fun and it's going to make for some cool-looking packages under the tree. Though I know there will be some rolling of the eyes in some sectors of the family (the same folks that object to wearing Birkenstocks with socks), as this will be seen as further evidence that we've gone way too earthy-crunchy-liberal. (is that a bad thing?) But I'm hoping that instead, they join in the fun of it and maybe even get some ideas that they, too, can try next holiday season.
Those brown paper bags will run out eventually, though, since we've finally bought some more permanent Trader Joe's handle bags for our many shopping excursions there. We don't want to continue bringing paper bags home, despite the fun we have crafting them into things.
