The Truth About Glittery Paper
Mistake #1:
Procrastination.
Which then leads to panic. Then massive cramming in the most annoying perfectionist manner. And finally, tears. Lots of them. It gets me every time. After 5 years of college, I should have learned. What takes an average person two weeks to accomplish, I cannot finish in a couple days, Kendall. Gosh.
Mistake #2:
Pinterest.
That website is simply unfair. There were just SO MANY neat things to make...and I had to make them ALL.
Mistake #3:
Glitter wrapping paper.
What a bad invention. Seriously, it's terrible. Save yourself at least an hour of work by wrapping with the usual stuff. Tape WILL NOT stick to it. I repeat: TAPE WILL NOT STICK TO IT. I found this out the hard way. After half an hour with my mom's gift, I was about ready to just throw the whole thing away. Smash it all to pieces! Oh I was angry! And then Adam said, "Well, why don't you just use the hot glue gun?" Excuse me? The hot glue gun? For Christmas presents? GENIUS! A few burned fingers later and alas, a wrapped gift. That wasn't so hard now, was it?! At least it looks pretty. Thanks Pinterest.
Now my apartment isn't just a mess...it's a glittery mess too. I even found some in my oatmeal this morning. Ha! Oh the joys of young adulthood! :)
The glitter paper is so neat though. I never would have thought hot glue instead of tape. Thank you two for all the neat tips that im now going to use and in the same amount of time as you kenzi. lol hopefully tears don't come to my house. Happy Holidays :)
