| One of the most difficult wrapping tasks I have attempted. Extreme detail. Tells story of two midwestern individuals who married, moved to Redmond, WA, and have now established a local business. With specific geographic references, on one side of the building, it reflects their small-town Iowa earlier years and, on the other side of the building, their local business in Redmond, WA... | |
(they are peering out the door). Trees bear ribbons personalized
with names of all members of their respective families in Iowa, and with all employees
of their firm in Redmond, WA. Found dogs to match appropriate breed, etc. Artifacts
within house reflect their childhood pursuits, sports, etc. The gift wrapping
task was costly and time-consuming, exceeding 100 hrs. |

| While wrapping the "Teddy Bears' Picnic" package, I needed red and white dishes for the picnic table. Found those at "Toy R Us", but at the same time, found these dishes which demanded I do a "Tea for Two" package. Here is that rendition. Painted a | |
corrugated box a light beige and topped it with a beige lace
tablecloth. Clothes made out of very small figural cotton. Notice the "goodies"
on the table...even bears love strawberry shortcake! Music can be "Tea for
Two" or "Easter Parade." |

Found foil paper which duplicated round ornaments yet two years later. | | Ends pulled down to create clean lines and avoid visible folded ends.
