What do you do when a seller at the swap meet offers you around 20 rolls of gift wrapping paper for $3/all?
Addendum for Julie:
Here's some of the yarn that we got on the same day. When I delivered the yarn to my mom, she kept saying OMG, OMG, OMG. She said that the colors matched perfectly to the dish towels that she was working on, and she took out the dish towels to show me.
This is what she made. She showed them to me via Facetime and I took a photo with my iPhone.

OMG, LOL!
Mich, we tried to resist . . . but totally failed. On that same day I also got a big box full of yarn for my mom for $5. We had to go back to the car to unload twice!
That sure is cheap. Now you don't have to buy any wrapping paper this year.
Good GOSH! I have a bag of ribbons that I got for $1. Doesn't seem that great compared to your bargain. On the other hand, I'm so lazy I put everything in gift bags these days.
j: those look like commercial rolls since they're so thick! -N
HAD to get it, how could you not? Thas why I try to stay away from sales/swap meets, etc. I am actually decluttering the house...
Howevah, you willing to have rookie company meeting up with you at one of your swap meet outings? Kay (of Musings) and I would like to swap meet too, even if only for a little while.
LMK when you go and we can play it by ear. Looks too fun and I only going bring little bit money.
Hey, those look like commercial style (rolls like we had at LH/Macys) with da biiiggg cardboard roll inside !!
Oh gawd Mmiissee . . . I think we won't need to buy any more EVER.
Kay, I think I have to forego gift bags for awhile.
N, they were so heavy!
For sure had to, right, Aunty? I'll email you about getting together.
No forget, Dd, we divvying up on Mother's Day.
My mom is into knitting too! Was there enough of one colour though -- enough yarn to make something? What does she usually knit?
SCORE!
Julie, I just added more photos for you to look at. My mom adds yarn to dish towels so that you can hang them.
Yah, Les.
Hey Jalna! Your bargain shopping skills, only rival mine!
Good score! We are kindred spirits! ; )
your mom so cute!
your mom knows how to facetime?!?! awesome! hahaha!
Thanks Mark.
Yah, she is, Kat.
LOL . . . I wish, Les.
j: could you craft up gift bags out of all that paper instead? Use a bit of yarn for the handles....not that I'm crafty but that might be easier? Just an idea....n
N! That's a GREAT idea!!
Yes, I know of those handy hanging dish towels!
Indeed, the yarn/towel color is a great match -- lucky find!
(Appreciate the photo.)
Julie, that's all she makes . . . tons of um!
That is a lot of wrapping paper.
