He is right. We used to always stock up on paper after Christmas ... now we don't even bother. There is one kind, though -- it is a sort of plastic or mylar, I guess -- looks like shiny foil but it is much more flexible. I like to use that in wrapping gifts for Nevada since it does not tear and is much more forgiving when gifts wrapped it in are being wedged into a flat rate box.<br /><br />I have found, also, that tissue paper tends not to get brittle, so I have quite a hoard of the vintage tissue paper prints and colors.<br /><br />Tags.. yes, I prefer the tie on ones also.

He said, “This paper is so old and brittle it is not worth my time to try and make it work.” Then I thought of all my moments of frustration with wrapping paper gone brittle and a lightbulb went on. I must write about this on my own blog one day. I used to like nothing better than to stock up on papers after Christmas. I do not do that anymore. Tags...a different story! Love finding sweet tags. I prefer the ones that tie on to the package. I remember using Melissa’s tags one Christmas. I think they were the ones that looked like birch trees that I found particularly charming. (P.S. Our snow has already switched to pinging sleet. Bummer.) Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
