The Julz Special Treatment

I think it started when I was in College and working in a small upscale boutique in downtown Napa during Christmas vacation. I believe it was reinforced when I spent so many years in a department store as an "exempt" employee.. I know over the years I have continue to add to and perfect my craft... I have even taught a class about it at church once.. It's a silly thing really... But it has come to be something I am known for... At gatherings of family and friends everyone knows which ones came from me...

the GIFT package!

While at the boutique I was embarrassed because my packages weren't as pretty as the others. At the department store, I spent many hours picking up slack in the gift wrap department.. Since then I have worked on perfecting the seamless wrap and mastered double sticky tape. It's well known that I can't just slap some wrap on and be finished, if I have multiple packages they have to coordinate... all the packages under my Christmas tree are color coordinated... just giving home baked cookies... yes those have to packed up pretty too... the smallest of gifts needs to have that extra touch or it just doesnt feel right to me...

recently I bought a gift... it came from England, Instead of having it shipped directly to the person i was gifting it to in Germany, I had it shipped to the USA so I could put my mark on it and ship it BACK over seas to Germany... The person I bought the gift from ask me what the Julz Special Treatment was...

Well here it is...
