Fabric Gift Bags
In our family, instead of using paper for wrapping gifts, we've been making cloth bags to "wrap" our gifts. We use Christmas fabric for Christmas, and floral for Mother's Day, bright colored for birthdays, etc. We tie the tops closed with reusable fabric ribbons and will be making some with hook and loop tape and maybe even buttons. They are really cute, look more festive than paper, I think, and cut down on waste. Whenever there is a sale on fabric, I stock up.

Take the 100 Acre Personality Quiz!
| The Road Trip of Your Life |
 You live life at a fairly leisurely pace. You take time to enjoy the sweeter parts of life, even when you're busy. You don't like a lot of risk or randomness in your life. You prefer to stick with what's known, even if it's a bit boring. You tend to be a workaholic. You overwork yourself without ever realizing it and sometimes suffer the consequences later. In another life, you could have been a great novelist. You have a knack for describing things in an interesting way. |
| You Are a Strawberry |
 You are popular, but there's nothing you ordinary or average about you. You a very interesting person, and you have many facets to your personality. Sometimes you feel very conflicted. Your different sides of your personality pull at you. You are a very sensual and passionate person. You are fiery... you can't help it. In general, you keep your passionate side under wraps. You are only wild in private. |
| What Your Fridge Says About You |
 You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you're mostly a saver. You don't tend to be a very adventurous person, but you do surprise everyone now and then.

| Your Thinking is Concrete and Sequential |
 You tend to get to the point and get things done. Difficult, detailed work is easy for you. You take things step by step. Time limits aren't a problem for you either. You work well with deadlines. What does drive you crazy is any sort of task that isn't precisely laid out. You don't like anything to be ambiguous. You prefer to deal with the facts at hand. |
