“That’s really cute,” Momma says.

“When Cara sees that it is pink, she’ll know it’s from me,” I say.

When we pay for the bag, the shop girl asks Momma if she should wrap it up. Momma looks at me. “I think we’ll wrap it at home,” she says. “Right, Kylie Jean?”

“Yeah!” I say. “I want to make my own gift wrap!”

The girl puts the purse into a shopping bag, and I carry it to the car.

Back at home, I use pink paper, glue, and silver glitter to make the most beautiful wrapping paper ever!

Ugly Brother wants to help, but he can’t because he gets glitter stuck on his tongue, so I do it by myself.

First, I roll out the pink paper on the kitchen table. Then I make swirls with glue and shake sliver glitter over them. I blow on the glittery glue to help it dry faster, but it’s going to take a while.

After my paper dries, Momma says, “This paper is divine. I love it!”

“Is it ready to wrap?” I ask.

Momma nods and says, “We’re going to need tape, ribbon, and scissors.”

“Okay, Momma,” I say. “I’ll go get them.”

I let Ugly Brother carry the tape. You have to carry scissors with the sharp part pointing down, so I carry them carefully.

Momma holds up her thumbs and I loop the satiny silver ribbon around and around. “Now tie knot in the middle with a small piece of ribbon,” she tells me.

I do that. Then I pull the loops out on each side, making a big fluffy silver bow.

“Wow!” I say. Looking at Cara’s pretty present, I feel a little more excited about going to the slumber party.

Momma smiles. “Darlin’,” she says, “it’s going to be the most beautiful present at the party!”

Party Tip #7:

Choose a personal gift that will delight the birthday girl or boy and remind her or him of you.
