Okay, I confess. This one is a little late.  A combination of Kootenay time and Kootenay snow has kept me from sharing this one in time for Christmas.  Luckily, gifts get wrapped more than once a year, so I’ve decided to go ahead and share anyway.  This past Christmas all gifts from me were wrapped with potato stamped newsprint.  Potato stamps! Remember those! Remember how fun those are! They’re still SO fun.  I made green trees with red stars and giggled all the way through.  For paint, I used non-toxic tempura paint pucks… wow, do those bring back memories.  If you’re skilled in the realm of potato stamp carving, then why not do it full force and make the wrapping paper the gift itself.  Do it on a rainy day and store it (away from sunlight) until you need it.  Do it with your friends.  Do it with your kids.  Do it naked.  Have some fun with it.  My only tip is to not use too much water with the pucks because it causes the paper to crinkle when it dries.  Oh and did I say have fun? Because potato stamping rules!
