I started my wrapping today and a light bulb went off in my head...duh...why don't I use my cutting board and rotary cutter for the paper? It makes wrapping a breeze. I'm sure the blade will not last long, but when they were only 75 cents from Harbor Freight, who cares!

I have one rotary cutter I use just for paper. It clearly says "PAPER" on it.

You are all so smart-my sewing space will now have a space for all the wrapping paper, etc.!

I was taught to save your old cutting blades (marked old) and use them to cut wrapping paper. Works well and plenty of life in them to cut paper for a long time yet!

does that mean we are supposed to wrap the gifts? thought i would just leave them in the bags they came in so it will be easier to return them after christmas. i have two young teen granddaughters.

Now that is the most practical I have heard yet...I gave up on buying clothes for my daughter a long time ago...24 to be exact!
