Have you ever noticed now useful gift bags are? And Beautiful?
Mom and I cleaned out her gift wrap containers last night so we could add all the shower and birthday tissue paper, bags, and reusable paper to the stash, and, MAN, I couldn't believe how cute all the bags are!
The day of the shower they were out shined by all the wonderful gifts inside of them. But they're like extra gifts! I was trying to think of a way I could keep them as mementos of that day, but that's going a little far, I think, keeping 20 gift bags in a box....just to look at. So....I took a picture of them, saved a few for scrapbooking and added them to the reusable gift wrap box.
I don't think I'll ever buy wrapping paper again. If folded nicely after use, the wonderful gift bag can be used again and again! And the tissue paper, too!
As Mom and I reorganized and purged, I felt guilty tossing out a few old crinkled, brightly colored bags that had seen better days, but I was comforted by the fact that 20 more were saved to bring some one else joy on another happy occasion!
