BROWN PAPER PACKAGES TIED UP WITH STRINGS...

Does it still count as Wednesday's post if it's 11pm? I hope so! Today I arrived home to a package at our front door... my bakers twine {I just learned what it was called}! This year I am wrapping our packages something like this...

I already owned the kraft paper, but I needed the string. I found a great deal on it from Whisker Graphics. Not only was the price for the entire spool just $15, but shipping was only $3! They sent the cutest little "thank you" pouch wrapped with bonus string in all colors, and it was filled with six adorable tree stickers.

and now because I know it's going to be stuck in your heads as it is mine, below are the lyrics to aid you...

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels

Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

Silver white winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites

When the bee stings

When I'm feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don't feel so bad
