When it came time to wrap the present, I had to figure out what to do about the missing corner of the box. Before cutting into the roll of wrapping paper I experimented with tissue paper, then after I had a system figured out I moved on to the real thing.
Except for a little too much cellophane tape I didn't think the result was too bad.
But I hid most of the tape by making a tag out of a section of a decorated envelope
and attaching it to the angled edge.
When the wrapping was done I stuck the present in a mailing bag. Now it's ready to go across the
country to California!

Great job! Your granddaughter is a lucky gal!
ReplyDeleteThank you. We enjoy shopping for the grands.
DeleteHey! I read your post about the long nails and I left a comment there!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS!
DeleteI love the jigsaw, and your wrapping is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love puzzles! We recently bought one to do. Fun. Fun. Love that you're sending this out. Great job on the wrapping.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles, but I've never figured out a place to leave an in-progress one in the condo. Probably just as well, because I can see our current cat batting the pieces around when we're not looking :-)
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteClever you! Looks like a fun gift too.
ReplyDeleteCheering from the cheap seats. I have transferred from elaborate wrapping to bags. My hands won't do it any more. That looks elegant. She should be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteFor local presents I am also Team Gift Bag, but I have learned that they don't pack as well for mailing as something that's wrapped.
DeletePuzzles are such great gifts for kids...no technology...feeling challenged but also success...and the experience can be repeated many many times. Well done, Grandma.
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteGreat gift!! Puzzles are fun for everyone.When my niece was here with her little ones, we did puzzles. It was funny when the 7-year-old had to tell me that I was wrong and she gave me the piece I was looking for. Talk about humbling.
ReplyDeleteSome times my 'old' eyes have trouble finding small details :-)
DeleteJob well done.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you.
DeleteOh that will be a fun puzzle. And good wrap job.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to put it together with her on our next visit.
DeleteHappy birthday to precious grandbaby 🥰
