ere is my confession. While I excel in many of the domestic/and or womanly arts, I am an utter failure at gift wrapping. I've spent the better part of the afternoon wrestling with gift wrap, scotch tape, self-adhesive gift tags, ribbons and bows. I know I could throw everything into gift bags but that seems like cheating. Besides, ripping into a gift bag isn't the same as ripping into a festively wrapped mysteriously-shaped package. One year my mother-in-law said, “Oh, how sweet. The boys wrapped the presents.” I didn't say anything. Now they wrap better than I do/CindyH.

Question (from CindyH): Am I the only one whose gifts end up looking like a kindergartener using blunt scissors and hopped up on paste wrapped them?
