This past fall the store flyers we receive in the mail changed from coming in a plastic bag to being bundled up in paper. A change for the environment I guess, but I saw it as large blank paper coming to our door every week - perfect since the kids go through paper like crazy with all their drawing. I started saving this wonderful paper in a drawer. After Christmas shopping one day and coming home to wrap, it dawned on me that this paper would make great gift wrap! I had seen before the idea of making your own gift wrap, but never searched out where to buy the rolls of paper I would need. But now, these perfect sized sheets of blank paper were being delivered to us!! So out with the box of Christmas stamps and it didn't take long for the kids decorate all the paper we had been collecting. When it came time to wrap presents it was great and the kids were proud of the work they had done and their contribution to every present!
