Myron's Mom, a wrapping party with hubby sounds nice. I don't think my DH has ever wrapped a present besides mine.

I wrapped two stuffers and one gift yesterday - just to get something done! We were away camping so I didn't do my normal Sunday morning thing. Feeling the urge to do a flurry of late night wrapping! :D

Well my husband is on the ball. He wrapped all his stuff for me this week. I managed to get a few things wrapped. My back was bothering me so it wasn't much of a party. We are planning another day next week to tackle most of our sons stuff.

Yes, back pain is the worst! Hope you are feeling better now!

I spent some time on Saturday wrapping, got several done. Plenty left but nearing the end of list of things I already have - will have more shopping to do!

Thanks all! I'm doing better. It's my fault I have been overdoing it and not taking breaks like I know I should. I hate to sit idle and get wrapped up in my projects and then I pay the price.
I'm about finished with my gift bags I'm making and got a few more gifts wrapped.

We are all doing so well.
The next wrapping party day is this SATURDAY November 10th!!!
I am going to DD's to help with a working bee but am hoping to get a few things wrapped. Even if no wrapping happens I WILL be doing some Christmas prep.

I couldn't get to the wrapping yesterday but I do need to get things done this week. I have Thanksgiving gift bags to assemble for delivery on Friday and next week. I will attach a note about being thankful for their service. I'm doing this instead of Christmas gifts. This is my first time trying it around Thanksgiving.

Once those bags are assembled, then I want to work on wrapping the gifts being stored in my bedroom. I need to get them wrapped and moved so I can make space in my bedroom for the gifts that are bought during the Black Friday shopping sales.

Mary, I love the idea of giving gifts at thanksgiving rather than at Christmas.

I did a few things on Saturday mainly prep for a big wrapping day that mum and I are having this Thursday. I am hoping to have the majority of things wrapped Thursday so that I can see exactly where I am at.

After wrapping most of Saturday and part of Sunday, I have everything wrapped. I still have a few things to buy but I'm pretty much done. I need to get more tape. I either used more this year or the rolls got smaller.

Myron's Mom, you made me laugh about the tape! Well done on getting everything wrapped. It must feel great to know that you are a step ahead.

LOL! I'm going to say that the tape fairy came along and used some while you weren't looking...

I got 15 gift bags finished. I have 7 more to do.

Mary, way to go on the wrapping.
I can just imaging the tape fairy coming in while we sleep, sort of like elf on a shelf.
