Wow, DH. I do a holiday letter every year, but I won't let it go more than two pages. My family just won't read more than that, lol. It's a little sad that I can sum up an entire year of my life in two pages (plus one or two photos). Oh well.

Buda: Love the chalk card
Cornfed: Thanks for bringing custom paper to my attention. I never thought it would be affordable. I make miniature wrapped presents for decorations. I can rarely find paper I like or it's scale is all wrong. Presents are usually around 1.25"x2". Mostly I've used solids or decorative tissue paper. Which isn't all bad because you can wrap it twice and the first layer shows through. I've avoided inkjet output as I don't like the idea of the ink running if it happens to get wet and toner flakes off the edges.

LuchaHamster, I wish I had kept it in my "Client Made Me Do It" folder but I didn't! It's long gone!
Garricks, he did not have a huge mustache. It's too hot here for that! No worries, his belt buckle said it all!
Derfs, since your gifts are so small, make sure you don't put something on there that won't be legible on your gift! I almost made this mistake! Last years paper was my bosses logo and Christmas trees and some text. I'm glad I printed and tested how it would look! I ended up making the logo much smaller so a lot of them would fit on one gift as opposed to half of his logo and half of the trees being cut off. I was surprised how inexpensive it was, too!
I'm thinking of having custom paper made for each of my kids. I have one believer so it would be great if I got custom paper and it looked like he wrapped her gifts especially for her!

Cornfed I know what you mean about the scale of the pattern being deceiving. It might look great but you really have to test it on the object. If you look at my post about my Christmas ornaments you can see on the tan and red in the lower right of the first pic how Santa is practically covered up by the bow. It was one of my first attempts at mini present ornaments.
