wednesday wrapping: alyce's gifts

Surprisingly I only saw 2 *NYSNC memes today.. but it's still early so I'm sure more will come across my feed. I've made a solid rule for myself that birthday celebrating starts before Taurus season and ends when Taurus season ends.. The past 4 days have been birthday busy but the birthday celebrating will continue for the next few weeks as I have a birthday trip coming up with M, and my annual merry unbirthday tea. While we're on the subject of birthdays, I have good friends who have close birthdays to myself.  I spent yesterday with a friend who's birthday is 2 days after mine!  Since she loves to paint, write, and calligraphy it was only so fitting to wrap her gifts like this-

I had mentioned to Alyce that the last time I had wrapped a gift was probably Christmas and I forgot how it felt like to wrap gifts/craft >.<.  (This is to show you how busy work has been). It was very therapeutic, we all get caught up in adulting, but it feels so good to get back into leisurely habits!  What do you like to do on our downtime? (other than nap/sleep) ;)
