On your birthday, my youngest brother would give you a brown bag filled with things you already owned (or things that belonged to other family members), which he taped and stapled shut so completely that it took a special trained military operative to open it (or a pair of really sharp scissors), and then he personalized it with black sharpie marker. <br /><br />Now as grown-ups, we use the brown bag as a "memorable" way to give actual gifts to each other - taped, stapled, and sharpie decorations included!<br /><br />So, this Christmas I tweaked it even more to fit my gift from the heart.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03107047874043344000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550194286101725528.post-30511005576379875642010-01-01T12:46:04.560-06:002010-01-01T12:46:04.560-06:00As always you are so creative with your Gifts from...As always you are so creative with your Gifts from the heart and Brian's was perfect too. So, did his letter bring tears?<br /><br />Oh, and are brown bag gifts always filled with the 30 day notes? Or does your family fill them with other things as well?April @ Adventures and Gadgetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605336577286365999noreply@blogger.com
