Wrapping Station


Another project done!  I love this one!!  I cleaned out one of the cabinets in the laundry room so Chuck could take it down to the barn, to give me more space behind the laundry room door. Believe me!  I filled it up fast once it was in the barn.   Then, we both started figuring.  Me, what I wanted and Chuck how to build it.  First he made me a little table to fit the area and then he measured how big the paper dowels had to be to hold the longest rolls of paper that I had.  I cleaned out one of the plastic carts that I had been using in the studio by my desk and put it under the little table to hold my tags, tape, tissue paper, etc.  The garbage can fit perfect under the table too.  The last of the project was to make three boards with dowels to hold all the colors of my ribbon that I had bought years ago at the party store, on sale.  I never dreamed that I would ever need a wrapping station in my life but since we have moved up here, I have been mailing things to everyone!  I got tired of pulling the tub of paper, tape and scissors out from under my bed and having to sit on the floor to wrap presents.  When I saw a picture of some one's wrapping station, I just knew I needed to have one! Now I do and I'm loving it!  It will soon be time to break it all in, with wrapping Christmas presents.  It will be here before we know it!
