Project 365 - Day 17

This was a year of a lot of road tripping for me and because of my affinity for highway rest areas and free things...I've an overabundance of maps. Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and even Michigan (although I usually save these for the car since I'm traveling in the mitten more often than not). What to do with all these maps?

Why, wrap gifts, of course! Look at that pretty pile of map-wrapped packages. The unfolded maps make sturdy wrapping paper and though you need something a bit tougher than scotch tape to hold it together (I used packing tape), the effect is pretty fetching.

Most are just random, although I did manage to wrap a gift for my mother with her hometown in Arkansas right on top.

Merry Christmas from me and various southern state's Departments of Transportation!
