It takes a while of pushing and shoving before "out" my baby pops. <BR/><BR/>Tricia- The Nordstrom boxes are great. Particularly if the recipient knows what is inside because they tried it on. They are life-savers when it hits deadline- somethings got-to give- and the wrapping isn't done yet. However, unless the gift is corporate- even that shiny silver box is elevated by simply tying on a dark green velvet ribbon into a bow. <BR/>If you are ever in the neighborhood of a Stats- you might want to drop in and peruse their phenominal selection. The price per roll is higher than the craft stores- however, when you look at price per foot- it more than works out.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215242522396155812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-78105422655224550882008-12-04T09:08:00.000-08:002008-12-04T09:08:00.000-08:00Lydia,How lovely!

She wanted to do this and make it special in honoring Mary Lou as she was stepping down as president after two wonderful years in the LACFRW.<BR/>The nice thing is that the basket was won by a dear and sweet lady friend who happens to be an associate of the DBRWF and a member of the Puente Hills RWF, Anna Mary Pelle. Edda and I were thrilled that this beautiful basket, put together with such thought and love would go to a friend.<BR/>Your gift wrapping part was great and that box is certainly beautiful! I used to spend much time and thought in each gift but now I just wrap the stack of presents and am glad when it's done! I especially enjoy that Nordstrom's "wraps" for you with their beautiful silver boxes and bows! When you get home, they go under the tree just like that, right out of the bag!<BR/><BR/>We all have our mixed emotions about something sad going on within each of our families but we can all be thankful to God for our many blessings as the birthday of our Jesus approaches. Merry Christmas to all!<BR/>XOXO TrishaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-64110669724063490632008-12-04T05:40:00.000-08:002008-12-04T05:40:00.000-08:00Lydia, I'm stunned.

Perhaps I need more trips to gather items for another basket. :) My coping mechanisms are a bit threadbare as we, Robyn and I, approach the second year of Cobi's absence. You nailed why this basket was so important to me. Mary Lou is a dear friend who served our group more than well and yes, it was important to me personally. Thanks for all the help. It was fun.<BR/>EddaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
