I just wanted to share my new packaging that I’m giving a “test drive” and if anyone has any ideas on how to improve it, I would love to hear it!  The packaging with the 10×20 {bevel-mounted} storyboard enclosed is Kraft paper lined with fabric that somewhat resembles the background on my website.  I picked up all that was left so once I run out I’ll be on the hunt for some new stuff.  The storyboard inside is also wrapped before being placed in the kraft bag.  I love how this turned out but not sure how easily I will be able to keep up IF I were to get really busy.  I would like to use this wrapping for larger prints.  Boxes are quite expensive and even then you can’t get boxes for a 10×20 or larger than a 16×20, so I would have to wrap it in something anyway.  I wanted something pretty that was a reflection of my style and I think this is just the ticket.  Again, it takes time….not sure how readily that will always be available to whip out my sewing machine.  It was a little tricky to get everything even and I still didn’t get it perfect.  It will take a little practice but in time I would like to get these done in advance since storyboards/collages are pretty popular.  Anyway…I would love to hear thoughts on this or just “like’ the post if you well…like it

Now onto fashion.  I’m the least “fashionable” person you’ll ever meet.  I don’t pay attention to trends and I don’t switch out my closet wardrobe every season with the new hottest thing.  I do, however, really like “Maurices” and that is my clothing store of choice-but that’s a treat.  I should add that I do like ”Old Navy” as well.  Otherwise, I usually wear clothes I’ve had for several years.  It doesn’t stop with clothing;  I have shoes that I’ve been wearing too where the soles are cracked. My socks get wet but I just can’t part with them because they’re so comfortable and I would say I’ve had them a good 7 years.  I’ve mentioned before too that I love thrift stores and have no problem with wearing “recycled” clothing.  I’ve grown out of the “Plato’s Closet” stage so now I shop at the “older lady” store next door-I think it’s “Repeat Performance.”  ANYWAY……so don’t take this as fashion ADVICE, but moreso color combo recommendations.  It’s a lot harder to explain to someone what looks good together, as far as colors, so this is my way to help you put the color wheel to work.  Hope it helps!!
