6th Folder 6th Picture

So today on Tracy's blog http://tracysfrontporch.blogspot.com/ I saw the idea to open up your 6th folder and go to the 6th picture and post it to your blog... so here it is......

This picture is of my mother in laws hands!!!! How funny! Janet works for Bloomingdale's at their customer service/wrap desk. Last year one of her friends nominated her for the Scotch Tape's Most Gifted Wrapper Contest. She along with 6 other people were chosen from all over the U.S. She received a fully paid trip to NY to compete in the contest which consisted of these people wrapping a few different oddly shaped items...an ice skate (out of the box) a snowmobile and a few others which I can not remember right at the moment. She won the contest hands down and the grand prize of $10,000. She was so excited and became an overnight celebrity!! LOL She was on several news channels including Good Morning America and did a few interviews for some local news papers! One of the news stations included her wrapping tips in their holiday show. This year she will be in Nickelodeon and Style magazine.

This was actually the 6th picture but I had to post atleast one more. Thought it would be a little rude to only show her hands! She is such an awesome mother in law, mom, grandmother, friend and obviously gift wrapper!!!
