Over the years I've succeeded to develop quite an impressive ability to improvise.
Some would call this creativity, but the way I see it, it's the end result of my being a disorganized person.
Lack of planning for the long run causes the need for major improvisation.

Last week my son was "suddenly" invited to a friend's birthday. 

luckily, I found a present that was left deep Inside my closet.
I didn't have any wrapping paper handy, so:
1. I took Cellophane paper and drew strips right on it in two different color markers (holding them all together).
2. Underneath the Cellophane paper I placed a white paper . Than I added  one of  my son's drawings  and  another layer of Cellophane ( this is where it gets more interesting and creative) and wrapped the present with them all.

Playing around with it can be a lot of fun, don't you think?

Well... here I am, talking to myself again... Oh well, good night.

How do you tie a ribbon bow? you simply don't

There's an old saying that goes like this "Don't judge a book by it's cover". Well, most of the time this could be true, but when it comes to packaging, I want a package that sells.

Sometimes I get into a store and buy something that I really don't need or even understand what it's for, but it just has such an amazing packaging, that I just can't  resist.

Apparently, the most common way to deal with wrapping a present, is to tie a ribbon bow.
How do you to tie a ribbon bow around a gift box? 
This question bothers many people. I've never actually seen anyone do it right.
That's when I thought, if tying the bow is so difficult why not have it printed right on the wrapping paper?
