I’m Sneaky and Clever!
Fun December 24th, 2010I’m going to let you in on a little secret. My husband wanted something for the home office for Christmas and here it is!
I know you won’t be able to guess what it is because it’s wrapped so good.
Totally camouflaged!
I even wrapped the bottom with the paper going the wrong way to fool him. He’ll wonder if the bottom piece is right side up or wrong side down!
And I’m so excited he won’t have a clue what it us until he gets all the paper torn off.
I’m so tricky, I can’t stand it!
Stumble it!

Oh Kathy…do I need to come over there and show you some wrappin’ tricks? I’m afraid that your husband’s gonna know right off that that’s a fountain. Anyone can see that! Geesh…

Haha! Why didn’t you make this a ‘What’s that?’ post? It would have taken days to get even close to guessing!

Beyond awesome! But I think earthtoholly was mistaken when she said anyone could see that it’s a fountain.
If it’s for the office it has to be a deluxe set of mechanical pencils.

Ok… it’s a new lamp.
Ah ! But what does it look like ? Does it give out the aroma of breakfast when you turn it on ? Is it a clap-lamp or a touch lamp ?
Is it even a lamp but a decoy to prevent break-ins and sends back a snapshot of the intruder back to the police via an encyrpted channel ?
We shall never know until tomorrow…

Sure doesn’t look like an egg lamp…

earthtoholly — Hee.
Babs Beetle — I was going to, but I thought it would be too hard for anyone to guess.
cardiogirl — I know, what was she thinking? Totally could be pencils. Impossible to tell for sure, though.
Rachele — What makes you think it’s a lamp?
Jaffer — Huh? That would be the last thing I would guess. But yeah, we’ll never know until tomorrow!
J. Bear Savo — It doesn’t look like any lamp, silly. Wrapping it? Total nightmare.
Karen — Seriously. I marvel at my genius sometimes.
Ron — Yep, want anything wrapped in disguise? I’m your woman. Merry Christmas, Ron! Glad you’re still alive!
flit — If I must say so myself.
Jaffer — With you on the other end of it?
Rima — Oh, now don’t give it away! You’re soooo close! Happy Christmas to you and yours!
lin — Thanks. It was a challenge. No lamp, not any lamp. Why does everyone think it’s a lamp?
DJ — I know! He’ll be so puzzled until he unwraps it. I’m beside myself! And same to you.

Is it a new calculator? A pet goat? I can’t wait to find out what it really is!

If you haven’t already done so, make sure you take the light bulb out; otherwise, he might be able to tell it’s a scale model of the space station.

Oh my that is the most wonderfully wrapped toilet bowl plunger I have ever seen in my whole life. What worries me though is why he seems to think he needed one ? Merriest of Christmas to your and your family and many thanks for all the smiles and giggles you have provided us over this past past year.

You’ve out-sneaked yourself this time. He’ll never guess.

Kathy, Honey, first of all Merry Christmas. Now is the lamp the present? Is the piece of art on the wall the present? Is the little doodad on the table with the lamp the present. I am at a total loss. So I’m sure it’ll be a big surprise to him. It certainly will be to me.

Daisy the Curly Cat — Oh, how I wish it was a pet goat. But it’s not, on account of it doesn’t make a noise. And it doesn’t move. And it doesn’t stink.
HJ Smith — Obviously. Yes, I wouldn’t have wanted to spoil the surprise!
Katherine — Hee! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and thank you for your visits. I’m glad you find it fun over here. More in 2011 I hope!
Drowsey Monkey — It was funny taking it over to my BIL’s house for our dinner and gift exchange. There is sat in the living room and no one asked what it was. I wonder if anyone knew until Dave unwrapped it!
Tiggy — OMG. Some bottle, eh? That’d put about 20 people under the table. Merry Christmas, Tiggy! Welcome back from your hiatus!
Grace — And same to you. I hope you had a great day. I’m worried about you now, though. I see a lot of snow coming your way. Are you all stocked up?
TheFlyOnTheWall — Glad you liked it!
Linda Medrano — The lamp? How’d you guess? You have very keen eyes, obviously. He acted all surprised when he tore open the paper. I think he had an inkling what it was before. I don’t know how, though.
endtransmission – Wow, what a compliment. Martha Stewert I am not. Although, I do admit I’m an awesome gift-wrapper. Cook? In my dreams.
Karen — I wish at least the base had come in a box. It was unwieldy to carry and to wrap. But I did it!
Will — Oooo, now wouldn’t that be a hellish gift to wrap? Difficult AND can smash a toe if you drop it!
meleah rebeccah — Then you need to sign up for the Kathy Frederick school of wrapping. I love to wrap gifts and I like to make them so impossible to open that you need a pair of scissors!
December 26th, 2010 at 8:30 am
I am totally amazed by your awesome wrapping skills. I have no clue what that could be and cant wait to find out.

You are too funny! I hope your hubby liked the gift – what is it a lamp 🙂
