The Worst Gift Wrapper In America Is…
Not me – I swear it’s not me! My first job was as a “Mervyn’s Gift-Wrapping Associate”, so I swear it’s NOT ME! But, alas, this time around, it doesn’t pay to be a good gift wrapper 
. Bowdabra® is running a contest through October 31st to find the WORST gift wrapper in America. Prizes will be awarded to several lucky winners, but as a consolation prize for even having the ability to enter, Bowdabra® is also giving away a free gift wrapping eBook to everyone who enters.
For those of you who boast awesome wrapping skills, you can access two free Fall Decorating eBooks (retail value: $14.99 each) without having to enter the contest. Obviously, the eBooks are offered as a marketing tool for the Bowdabra, but many of the projects can be completed without one. (I really liked the candy-filled jelly jar place setting idea, and to be honest, the Bowdabra® does look like a time-saving alternative to crafting your own bows, and to be even MORE honest…none of my bows are as elaborate as some of those shown on the Bowdabra website!)
Not to get off-topic, but thanks to Sarah, seamstress and hobbyist EXTRAORDINAIRE, for passing along this information! The next time you’re in a creative mood…go check out the Crafts section on her website. She has some excellent ideas (with step by step instructions) for crafts, gifts, decorations, and jewelry! Some of her ideas are nothing short of genius (who ever would have thought of using old coffee mug handles, decorated with large beads or buttons to make…drapery tie-backs?!)
Okay, onto the fun with the Worst Gift Wrapper in America (which, I guarantee…is not Sarah either! After spending an hour on her website…maybe I DO qualify for this contest!)

There were a lot of components to this blog. I was confused (still am) but am entering the contest, thanks.
In high school we had to do volunteering to graduate. One year my friend & I volunteered at that gift wrapping station that a lot of malls have. Well there were 3 different older women running it. Each one had a different technique for wrapping. So after each women would teach us how, the next would come around & tell us we were doing it all wrong.
It got to be such a joke by the end, we were laughing hysterically.
