Gift_Wrapping_Ideas_Part_2I recently attempted to clear out my bookshelves.
Unsuccessfully.
I couldn’t bring myself to even throw out the most tattered, most battered of my books.
So I simply transferred them to my gift-wrapping cupboard.
Hoarder or Genius?

I use that whole “saving-it-for-a-special-occasion” justification. (My husband nods and smiles, groans inwardly and then turns away and rolls his eyes.)
