Homemade wrapping paper

Tidying up some old files and stumbled on this.

I'm terrible with birthdays, always leave them way too late. My wife's birthday is near christmas, last year I got her present on the day (not unusual) but it being near christmas no-where had any birthday wrapping paper. So I quickly threw this together... and she loved it! Phew!

I think homemade wrapping paper is the way forward - much more personal, and it almost doesn't matter what is inside! She'll remember the paper but I bet she doesn't remember the present!
