As Promised - The Retirement Gift



Here is the Retirement gift that I wrapped in the lovely lilac paper (that was supposed to be cream coloured) with cream ribbon.  It was the pixie dust, I'm sure of it!
The dimensions of the box are approximately 20 inches wide and approximately 28 inches long.
Took two rolls of paper to wrap.



Here is a close up of the bow I made.
I have step by step instructions on how to make this type of bow
 and how to wrap a gift
on my
The Art Of Gift Wrapping
 page. 

P.S.  My girlfriend just loved the card and can't wait to show everyone both
the card and the wrapped gift.  She said Carol (retiree) is going to
just be thrilled!
