Very nice! I need to start working on packaging. Added to my to do list.

What a great thread idea! This is another weak spot for me. I am completely inadequate at presentation. I shall visit here often and vow to improve in this area!

[Tela]

Those are great! Don't know about toilet paper rolls, though
I really need to spend some time on this. Laura, thank you for reminding us that presentation is everything.

I have settled on using colored boxes with organza bags around them. I think it looks pretty. I'll post a picture when I get my supplies in.

Great links, Vicky- thanx! I really like the one based on the felt box. Actually, I really, really like the felt one, but not too cost effective, I'm sure.
