The Weekend Island: September 2011
http://theweekendisland.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. A couple of years ago, I was in a packaging shop in Stafford and saw these rolls of brown paper for sale. I bought one and it's been very, very useful ever since. I've wrapped most of my presents over the last couple of years with it. They get decorated with raffia or ribbon and I love the look of them:. Sometimes I use an ink pad and stamp to decorate them, or draw a little design - a Christmas tree or Holly, for example. Who knew a roll of brown paper could be so useful?
