My Packaging Brings the Boys to the Yard...

My Packaging brings the boys to the yard...

;)

I'm fortunate to belong to a creative group of Aspiring Metal Smith Artists. Each month we have a blogroll that focuses on a specific theme.
This month's theme is about our packaging... more specifically, how we package up our goodies to send to our wonderful customers.

Here's mine.

Its fun to get a prettily wrapped package. Much of the excitement is receiving it and seeing what's inside.

My packaging serves more than one purpose.
First, if the gift is for yourself, it's nice to receive a little present specially made up for you.
Second, if the gift is for someone else, it's VERY nice to have all the packing and wrapping done for you. Saves time during the busy holiday season.

Often I will color coordinate the ribbon with whats inside. Helpful for people who order more than one item.

I always love to get a prettily wrapped package. Much of the fun is receiving it and seeing what's inside.

Take a peek at the other wonderful artists participating in this blogroll:

Special for Today!

As you know, I've been trying to help Amanda reach her College Goal.

To help her on her way, I've decided to offer a special deal for today ONLY! (July 10, 2011).

Donate at least $25 to Amanda's College Goal today, and receive a pair of my Unraveling Earrings.

It's as simple as that. ;D

Just show me that you donated and send me a message along with your name and address (so I know where to send it to).

You can friend me on Facebook (KDavisArt) and send a message that way, or message me here on my blog.

Feel good by helping a student in need AND get a goodie too!

win-win!

Amanda's College Goal

Thought today I would let everyone know of a fantastic daughter who is really thinking in a creative way trying to help raise money for college.

She's a hard working, class-A over-achiever that has her heart set on, of all things, being a forensic anthropologist (even before Bones became popular).

She was thrilled when she was accepted into the University of Tennessee.
The only hitch now is paying for it... that's a BIG hitch.

In addition to working a part time job, and saving all her money toward her goal, there is still quite a bit needed. She set up a donation page at GoFundMe in an effort to help reach her goal.

Just click the photo to see her page.

If anyone out there would like to help a deserving, hard-working girl, I know it would be greatly appreciated.

If you can also share this with friends or family that would be such a boost! She has worked so hard and come so far, I would really love to see her reach her goal.

Etsy front page!

There's a first time for everything!

I was on Etsy's front page a few days ago! Granted, it was at 1:30 AM my time, but hey, the front page is the front page...

so thrilled.

;D



Enjoy! You may never see such a rare occurrence again.

LOL!
