This weekend, Knox had a birthday party to attend. We took a family shopping trip, in the rain, on a Friday night (are you experiencing the joyfulness with me yet?) to get a gift. We also needed wrapping supplies because this gift is for a little girl. And I don't think she would have much of an appreciation for my vast collection of "It's a Boy!" gift bags or tractor wrapping paper. I have no shortage of kraft paper bags at my house (we're talking bulk size boxes leftover from Blithe), so I decided I would just get some cute tissue paper and use one of those.
We got a gift, tissue paper and a few other household necessities and headed home. I got home and went to wrap the gift and realized I had forgotten to get a card. I
I had just been digging through my super organized desk drawer in search of...who knows what...earlier in the day and came across a set of alphabet stamps. LIGHTBULB.
See, I told you. Genius. This took all of five minutes and was so much less expensive than a card that, let's face it, is going to see it's way to the trash can as soon as the party is over. And I think it gives the bag a little dressing up too!
This got my brain stirring and I came up with all sorts of sayings that could be stamped on bags for any occasion. So, if you're expecting a gift from me anytime soon, don't be surprised if it comes in a bag that says something along the lines of "Happy Birthday you sexy beast" or something equally as charming.
