tis but the work of a moment

evening carols and days of gratitude
notes from maggie's farm


I am oh, so thankful for pretty wrapping.

My special mother (she says 'stepmonster' but that's just not right.  about her, anyway.) always goes all out on our packages.  They are shiny and sparkly and beautiful and make me feel as excited as a little kid on Christmas.  I always want the one with the prettiest paper.  

I know they say that the gift is not in the wrapping, but oh, that's not true.  A gift, a true gift, is one to which a person has given personal attention to detail.  A lovingly wrapped package is a gift in and of itself, no matter what's inside.  Well, you'll see what I mean:  



tis the work of a moment!
Perhaps you'll be inspired by the pretty packages I found all around the interwebs:

and if you need a little more motivation, how about that dreamy voice of Chris Isaak's?

Here's hoping you get the personal attention to detail you deserve.
