the right package

Packaging is so important. It really does more than just contain whatever is inside, it showcases it and grabs your attention so that you want to open it and see what’s inside. Here is a great example of good packaging that I found here.

Happy Birthday Jessica!

Dear Jessica,

I am truly blessed to have you in my life. You are indeed a life-long friend and you are always there for support. It’s hard to believe that we’ve been friends since we were in kindergarten and it seems like just yesterday that you stood up in my wedding with full support. You’ve always had my back and I will forever do the same.

I can’t express enough what a beautiful young woman you are and how you hold all of the qualities that would make others jealous! You are unbelievably smart, passionate, loyal, kind, loving and full of faith. I also admire your optimism and sense of humor. I laugh so much when I’m around you and it’s a healthy release. Thank you for being you and not letting anyone take that away.

I love you, my dear! Happy 26th Birthday and I’ll see you for your Birthday dinner!

Love,
Robster

DIY: Eco-packaging

I stumbled across this the other day and simply fell in love with the idea! Mandi at Here’s Looking At Me Kid shares a fabulous way to stay green and creative while shipping products or gifts through the mail. The full how-to can be found here at A Beautiful Mess, but basically you just use a paper bag and stitch it closed. The great thing is that you can decorate it as you wish! It’s also a great way to save some cash. I love this idea so much, I’m going to adopt it! I actually have a similar idea that I’ve been actively using for about 8 years now. I’ll post a DIY on that soon! Thanks Mandi!
