Card for a birthday at work yesterday.
For my fellow crafters, Luann Udell's blog is a must read. I learn so much from her. Keeping in step with my environmental post from yesterday, I want to share a new packaging system she alerted us to yesterday. I'm not quite ready for it myself, but I hope I am someday because I think it's very cool. It's by Geami. It's made from Kraft paper - it's recyclable, renewable, compostable & way less messy than evil Styrofoam peanuts. There's a video on their site you can watch. For now, I'm good with reusing the free packing material that I receive with my orders.
I had my first order through Etsy from A Perfect Stranger the other day. (The rest have been through family & friends.) I received another order today. I think things are starting to pick up steam over there. I may not be ready for that cool packing material mentioned above but I think I'm ready to buy a scale and print my own postage at home. I love, love, love the automated postage machines available at post offices now but I might be ready to take it one step further. I need to look into it a bit further. I thought when I looked into stamps.com before there was a $15/month fee. Oh, I just looked, it's now $17.99/month. Too much for me.
I just started to look at usps.com - but I hear Steve making his own sandwich for lunch so I better go. If he makes my sandwich, he never gets the Miracle Whip all the way to the edges!
If anyone has any experience with printing postage - leave it in the comments please? Thanks!

Sandwich making by men. Mine doesn't spread stuff to the edges either. lol
I followed your link to Luan Udell's blog. Her March 25th entry about how to handle kids at craft fairs was brilliant.
I know! I enjoyed that entry too, Jim. I haven't had problems with unruly kids but it's good advice to keep in mind if I ever do. Little girls are often intrigued by my pins and notepads - always polite (& clean!)
I've printed postage from home and it worked just fine.
