  • I think I will do them in order of importance fro wrap ie. kids in Xmas wrap, and friends next, then DH can have nice pretty girly paper, lol

    I do have quite a few gift bags so hopefully that will be ok!

    oh just had another idea can you use the reverse of the wrapping paper. Do some paint stamps on (stars, trees) and bingo home made christmas wrapping paper?? I have done this on brown paper we get the toys packed in at the shop and it looks great

  • does any one know what I would search for if I wanted a bin to burn rubbish in?

    yes I know, "bin to burn rubbish" in would be a start but I mean one of those things you see homeless people in USA crime dramas crowding round....?

    or maybe a small deep BBQ?
