I had a package that needed to be mailed this weekend, so those gifts were the only ones that got wrapped. I think it will be easier to get wrapping done during the week when J & K are at work. I am hoping to get some done this week.

I have just sorted out the gift closet. Most are wrapped, I have a small pile that still need to be wrapped.
I want to double check that I have the same for both the kids, so I will do that one day next week.

You ladies are on the ball . I have NOTHING wrapped yet and a package that needs to be mailed this weekend. Sometime in the next 2 weeks I do want to ship the kids off to either one of the grandparents houses or to one of their aunts houses so I can at least get all the kids gifts wrapped and stashed away. Everyone else's gifts can wrapped during the evenings we are home. My goal is to have all gifts that need to be wrapped done by Dec 20th.

Minta - I like that you have a date set for when you want the wrapping to be done. It sounds like you have a great plan to achieve it. :):)

I went into the city yesterday morning and wasn't gone very long. When I got home DD was finishing her wrapping. She said she just wanted it to be done and over with.

She inherited my hatred for gift wrapping.
;);)

I am hoping to be wrapping at some point today! It will be easier to store the gifts in our closet if they are wrapped so we don't have to worry about them accidentally being seen. We have a different paper for each child so they won't know whose is whose.

GRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Sometime I just HATE the weekends. J is home and everything turns to chaos. It is impossible for me to get anything done because I have to supervise him all day.

I guess I will wrap when K is at work on Monday.

Sorry Mel :(

I have wrapped again this evening. Only have a few gifts left to wrap (my kid's gifts) because I'm missing a few gifts.

I think that I am done.
I need to get some coffee and sugar to go with DD coffee plunger but that will all go into a gift bag.
DH has just told me he wants some new pyjamas so I will buy those and then wrap

Hope you have been able to get some wrapping done, Mel!!! ((hugs))

I have a really good portion of wrapping for the two adopted families done. BUT I have a whole new load of items people brought into my office today to wrap still. Plus I need to go shopping with the cash I received as well. But at least I've made SOME progress.

All gifts to be shipped were wrapped and packed this weekend - took them to post office yesterday! :) It feels good to have that one done!

So glad that I have had the wrapping parties through out the year to set me on the straight and narrow.
All is wrapped except for a gift that I bought DH when I was at Ikea last weekend.
I will wrap that tomorrow when I am sorting through the stockings and checking them again.

I have a few of the larger gifts to wrap tomorrow before I'll be done. Thanks for the wrapping parties!

All is wrapped but one or two things - PLUS any stocking stuffers I choose to wrap. I won't wrap all of them! :)

Definitely need to do a better job at wrapping early next year! I had way too much to wrap in a relatively short time frame and had to push myself pretty hard to get it all done. But things are looking pretty good!

However, DH still hasn't wrapped his gifts for me and we are running really low on bows and boxes. Will try to pick some up today or tomorrow!
