A well wrapped package

My love of paper and wrapping started early....when my Mom recruited me for the job!!   She wrapped with Kraft paper back in the day when it was not trendy... she found a roll at my Dad's office and it was free and on the plus it looked great with plaid ribbon.   I believe a present should be wrapped so that it adds a smile even before you see the gift.   Whenever I wrap an order up from the little shop I put a lot of care into it.  I  always have my staples on hand to get the job done... Kraft paper, tissue, and boxes, jute webbing, twine and tons of ribbon!

This may sound a little type "a" but all my scissors have a specific job if you will.  I have a pair for paper, fabric, ribbon, etc.  And at the home of an 8 year old I constantly have to keep my eye on them...my kitchen shears were the recently snatched up to cut tires off  matchbox cars....ugggh~   These scissors are my favorite, mine are a little longer but  they are my go to scissor for any paper project.

Of course the cover is a great Martha Stewart detail!  Another favorite of mine are her fringe scissors~  And for my Kraft paper supplies you can head over to Paper Mart, where you can buy in bulk.  I have a huge roll of Kraft paper that has lasted a year.

The final touch to a wrapping up orders and presents is a handwritten note.   Whenever I see a cute box of note cards, I grab them for my stash so I always have variety on hand.    My newest favorite stop for stationary is Sugar Boo Designs .  Don't you love these note cards and paper I just added to my stash!
