Office Depot cracks me up, if I order a pack of pens and a roll of tape it comes in a huge box, big enough for 3-4 reams of paper, but they don't skimp on the padding, just go overboard with the box!
I have a roll of velum that I haven't tried yet, my plan is to draw a quilting design on it and see if I can follow it. I doubt it, I do real good on pantographs but can't get the hang of sewing on the lines.
