Re-gifting to yourselves...
Thipu1:
...Do you Ever Do This ???
Some years ago, Mr Thipu requested and received a book of origami patterns. He seemed happy with the gift at the time but never used it. This week I found the book and it was in pristine condition. I thought about an in-house re-gift.
This Thanksgiving, origami became quite popular in our family. My SIL put up a string of icicle lights in the dining room. She made an origami box to cover each little lamp. The effect was wonderful! It was festive and appropriate for any holiday. ;D
The grandchildren were getting old enough to learn how to fold. Great Grandma knew the art well. On the Friday after Thanksgiving, a group of us sat down after lunch and learned how to fold. We used up a ream of plain, white paper and laughed a lot. It was an afternoon of family enjoyment.
I remembered that when I found Mr. Thipu's old Origami book. Right around the corner from our house there's an art supply shop. I picked up a nice, big supply of Origami paper, wrapped it with the book and put it on Mr. Thipu's side of the tree with a tag that reads, "From the Ghost of Christmas Past". I don't think that was a bad thing to do.
