What a perfect use for all this paper that just too often gets thrown away. Glad you featured this terrific Christmas idea to get my gears in motion. It will be here before we know it. Somehow November is half over and I thought it only started last week....geeeze!!!

Aaaack! How can I recall all that butcher paper I've so carelessly tossed over the years? More importantly, can I have a piece of your clever mind? Awesome!
