i havent learned how to make a bow with 2-3 different ribbons together yet but i am eager to find time to learn.  it looks so elegant!  i’m hoping i can learn within the next week or two since i have been gift wrapping so much.  i am so obsessed with wrapping things that i even asked dino if i can wrap his gifts for him.  i havent done this yet but i wanna wrap all my moms presents for her too.  i LOVE to wrap gifts!

as a side note, i seem to also like collecting wrapping paper.  i just noticed that this year.  any time i see pretty wrapping paper i usually buy it.  sometimes i dont even wanna use it cuz it’s so pretty.  or sometimes i want to buy something to give away so that i can wrap it.  weird.

so if any of you need anything wrapped i will gladly do it for you!  i just hope you choose pretty (and good quality) wrapping paper and want to make a bow out of ribbon – because the overall presentation and look of the gift all done it what excites me. yaay!

i started my first garden!  lol… weird, huh?  never thought i’d be into gardening but all of a sudden i wanted to start a mini garden… just to see if i can keep some flowers alive for more than a week.  hehe.  we went to lowe’s and picked out a balcony hanging basket, picked 2 colorful, low maintenance flowers, got some soil, and went home.  i had alotta fun putting it all together.  if they end up living, i might expand my mini garden…. right, jake?  lol..  =P  *wink wink.
