22nd December 2013

This afternoon I wrapped all the family Christmas presents. It took three hours during which I had my seasonal drink of Cinzano and lemonade with a cherry… more than once!!

As you can see I have a red theme this year as I was really fond of some paper I found with clockwork birds on it - why is it Christmassy? I'm not sure but I like it!

(see my photo for the 3rd of December http://365project.org/emmadurnford/365/2013-12-03)
I think the colour red is the Christmassy bit - and tinsel of course. You have done these up beautifully!

@maggiemae Thank you, I actually enjoy wrapping but it is always daunting with pies of presents at the start. I still need to do the labels so I've banned Colin from touching them as they all look the same!!

Just this second finished mine! Three hours here too and my back's killing me. White wine was the tipple of choice here. Love the clockwork bird paper too.

@jantan I'm with you on the back - I've been seeing the osteopath and I'm pretty sure that 3 hours sitting on the floor wrapping was on her 'don't do' list! I'm making sweets tomorrow - wine as well I think for accompanying tipple!! Are you ok after that awful IT problem?

Yes not bad thanks, but not up and running yet - and if I am honest, slightly disillusioned, but I'll get over it!
