Learning to gift wrap at Rich's.....

I love wrapping gifts.....

It all started as a child when my mother would take our Christmas Gifts to 

Rich's and have them professionally wrapped! 

Rich's wrapping then was incredible...... 

You could choose your paper, your ribbons and a cute little embellishment to hang from it.

Of course we had to wait in a line to do it, but WOW it was so worth it. 

Being young, I could get away with things that adults could not. 

I guess my love of learning new things has always been there for me. 

As MOM would wait in line,

 I would scurry to the front and lean on the counter to watch each

 and every movement of the lady wrapping the gifts.

 Each motion she made was a motion that was taught to her by the best of Rich's gift wrappers!

 The box was always wrapped perfectly and the bows..... 

Oh my goodness, big and fluffy! 

That's where I learn to tie a ribbon on a box,

 the counter at Rich's Gift Wrapping Center. 

And still, I use the same method of wrapping gifts

 that I learned as a child at Rich's over forty five years ago.
