- Not by a long shot! Not only do I save the bows, I also save any of the
- wrapping paper that hasn't been totally destroyed and reuse it for birthday
- presents during the year. I have some sheets that have been recycled five

- without marking the foil..... I'm hoping that will have a much longer life -
- it all survived it's first Christmas in any case. :-)
