Basket Cases making Gift Boxes
"Good times, Good times..."
The BEFORE photos; hauled in from the garage and various nooks and crannies throughout Wendy's (Head Poobah's) house:
The first brave souls who showed up, starting to sift through
the boxes and containers. Where to start...?
Now we're starting to rock n' roll. All hands on deck...
Let's not forgot to get a photo of us all wearing our classy reindeer ears. Don't be jealous, we can't all look glamourous in antlers...
"Smile, the Head Poobah is watching. Please don't let her hurt me..."
"I've heard she'll remove a finger if you don't tie the bows right...
just keep smiling..."
"If we stick together, she won't have any power over us..."
What's this...?? Someone taking a BREAK??? What a brave elf!
Wendy must have been in the bathroom or something...
It appears her covert sandwich break helped this elf get back to work with her partner in the "Box and Bauble Control Department"...
An almost empty table...very happy faces...
Wendy should have done a bit of clean up in the garage before this photo, but obviously she was too busy keeping tabs on the elves and their wayward habits. However, sandwich breaks and fear aside, they created close to 200 packages in under five hours.
What a TEAM!
Many hands make light work and something nice for people in shelters or recovery homes to open on Christmas morning...
