I bought a jelly roll from a fellow Etsy seller, and lookie at how she packaged it! :mrgreen: She used the paper from a paper bag, and sewed the edges to make a mailer, then taped it for extra security.

Pretty nifty, huh? :thumbup:

(It didn't arrive torn. That's where I opened it to get the jelly roll out. ;) )

How fun to receive that. I love it when the packaging is almost as interesting as what's inside.

How fun and environmentally friendly, too. I always marvel at how creative people can be.

I love it when people are creative and save. My mother used to iron used Christmas paper and reuse it. My BIL thought that was horrible. One year when she'd finally run out of used paper she took a piece of new, wadded it, ran over it with the car, unfolded it, re-wadded it, and made it as crumpled as possible so that she could wrap his gift in it. We all had a good laugh over that one. He even said, "Where'd you get this paper? I thought I threw out all the used paper last year."

Nothing like recycling. A neat package.

That made my day, your mother was like mine, always happy and making others laugh. I love what she did.

I did too and miss her daily. She was quite the character.
