I have many nieces and nephews... and I really like to give them all a little gift or something at Christmas. They're aged between 1 and 20... so I often have to do a lot of thinking ;).
This one goes to Liina who just had her 15th birthday!
One package was mailed 12/4, one 12/20, & one 12/30 from the same place, & they all arrived on 1/2. You would think Christmas delivery would be more organized by now, it's not like it's a surprise when it comes up.
Anyway, new dolls, new doll clothes, new doll miniatures, new doll rooms, new doll parts, new Nendoroids, lots of new.
EDITED: I just went out to the mailbox to get the rest of the mail & surprise! there was another box waiting for me, it was mailed on 12/21. Was the Post Office holding all my packages in a secret location until after the holidays?
With product packaging, doing what is best for the Earth also saves money.
Sustainable packaging needs to use recyclable materials drawn from sustainable sources, and needs to be designed intelligently to be efficient in materials and functionality. If it can be re-used as is, like your personal water bottle, all the better.
Improving consumer product sustainability is a lot about the "nuts and bolts" of product design and production, and packaging is one area where we can expect a tremendous amount of innovation in the next 5 years.
In March 1943, about 1,000 international people living in Shanghai were interned in Chapei Civil Assembly Centre by the Japanese. As the war progressed, food rations became smaller and less varied. Many people living in the camp were helped by people living in Shanghai from countries which were neutral during WWII, like Sweden. Also Chinese employees from foreign companies sent their former colleagues food.
This photo shows a label of such a food aid package, sent by the Swedish family Asker, to the Dutch family Hennus. Mr. C.G.C. Asker worked for the Maritime Customs Service of China (as per Records of the Maritime Customs Service of China 1854 –1949 Part Three: Semi-Official Correspondence from Selected Ports by Professor Robert Bickers, University of Bristol).

"SWEDEN PRAISED FOR ASSISTANCE IN BRINGING AID TO WAR PRISONERS. By Dr. I). A. Davis, Associate Executive Director, Y. M. C. A. Worlds Committee,
Sweden and Switzerland, spared the horrors of warfare, are doing their share to lighten the burden of war victims. These two neutral countries are cooperating with the War Prisoners Aid of the Y. M. C. A., with headquarters in Geneva and New York, in sending material aid to war prisoners and civilian internees in Europe and the Far East. The rights and privileges of more than 6,000,000 prisoners of war confined behind barbed wire throughout the world are protected by the treaty called “The Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War,” signed by 47 nations on July 27, 1920. Among other things the Geneva Convention specifies that various welfare organizations may have access to war prison camps to render certain services to prisoners; thus War Prisoners Aid, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. World’s Committee carries on its stimulating programs of educational, recreational and religious activities among war prisoners, regardless of race, creed or nationality. The role that Sweden plays in this important services are manifold, for giving financial support as well as supplying materials for leisure-time activities. They provide also a large percentage of the personell necessary. From Sweden comes books, writing materials, lumber and other materials hardly found now in other european countries and piany of the neutral secretaries are permitted to visit war prison and internment camps. “We sail never forget what your Swedish colleague, Hoffman, did for us in England,” said a German prisoner of war to Gunnar Celander, Swedish representative of War Prisoners Aid, during a recent prisoner of war exchange between Germany and England, through Sweden. Boatloads of German prisoners from Canada, U. S. and .England, and British prisoners from Germany, docked at Trelleborg and Goteborg, while they transferred to boats waiting to take them home.
The Swedish Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross Lottas, Swedish rail roads and welfare organizations assumed a large portion of the responsibility of looking after these men— most of whom were invalided and blind during their short stay in the country. Food, travel facilities, reading matter, games, gramophones supplied with records of German and British music were made available to make the men comfortable. Crown princess Louise visited the prisoners, with representatives of the Swedish government, who officially welcomed them. Mr. Celander reported “We Swedes are happy that it was the privilege of our country to arrange this exchange of prisoners in the spirit of conciliation and kindness in the midst of the fire of conflict. I longed to share with the entire Y. M. C. A. and its secretaries the memory of the happy faces these homeward-bound prisoners and their many proofs of gratitude. All these men can testify that we were able to serve them in of their liberation. That is the highest reward and greatest encouragement for our work.” In Stockholm a War Prisoners Aid office is under the able leader their capacity as well as in' these days ship of Hugo Cedergren, Associate Director of Y. M. C. A., and National Secretary of the Swedish Y. M. C. A. Mr. Cedergren, who has visited prisoners in Europe, U. S. and Canada, said recently in America: “The spirit of prisoners is excellent. I can say that honestly from my own experience. The treatment they are receiving is correct and good.” Mrs Ceder gren is the daughter of Prince Oscar Bernadotte, brother of King Gustaf. He is honorary president of the Swedish Y. M. C. A. Pastor Carl-Erik Wenngren of the Stockholm Diocese, Associated National .Secretary of the Swedish Y. M. C. A., is now in U. S. as a neutral representative of the Ecumenical Commission for Chaplaincy Service to prisoners of war, of the World Council of Churches, and as a representative of War Prisoners Aid of the Y. M. C. A. He is visiting camps throughout America carrying the message of the church, especially to German prisoners, conducting services and other functions of a minister. Gunnar Celander, Henry Soderberg, Gunnar Janssen, O, M. Carlman and Erik Berg have been recruited from Sweden to visit war prison camps in Germany, while Bengt Hoffman carries War Prisoners Aid service to allied fliers detained in Sweden in compliance with neutrality laws. Civilan internment camps in France ares visited by mr. and Mrs. Hemming Andermo. The Swedish representative in India is Fredrik Franklin. (In the Philippine Islands, aid to prisoners of war and civilian internees is carried on under a neutral committee of Swiss, Irish, Danish, French, Belgian and Norwegian citizens, headed by Swedish Ex-Consul Helge A. Jansson, in Manila, and appointed by W. J. K. Bagge, Swedish Minister to Japan, since July 1942, chairman of neutral citizens, responsible for Y. M. C. A. services to prisoners and internees in Japan and Japanese-controlled areas. All contact between War Prisoners Aid and Japanese government are made through Stockholm. Through Minister Bagge, War Prisoners’ Aid received the first complete information about aid work in the Philippines. Final permission was given by the Japanese for the YMCA to purchase monthly in the Philippines sorely needed relief supplies for shipment to camps there in which Allied prisoners are interned. War Prisoners’ Aid service to allied war prisoners and civilian internees in Japan and Japan-held territory other than the Philippines is headed by I. P. Troedsson, Swedish Consul to Japan, assisted by N. E. Ericson of the Swedish Legation in Tokyo, under supervision of Minister Bagge. Swedish representatives of War Prisoners’ Aid make regular visits to camps in Japan are B. Gawell, John Anderson, A. Swensson and O. Pettersson, C. G. C. Asker works in Shanghai, and in Thailand, War Prisoners’ Aid service is carried to prisoners of war by F. Ehnstedt, Swedish Consul there. N. Arne Bendtz, with headquarters in Chungking, is in charge of War Prisoners Aid Services in Free China. He was responsible for taking aid not long ago to the more than two hundred German and Italian Catholic Fathers who had been interned for more than a year in the Honan Province. Traveling hundreds of miles over famine-stricken war-ridden country by car, rickshaw and on foot, climbing bleak, rugged hills, fording gushing streams, enduring scorching heat, mud and a plague of locusts, Bendtz finally reached his destination and found that the missionaries were living in dilapidated buildings, lacked essential food and clothing and faced grave financial difficulties. “For about three weeks I lived among these Catholic missionaries sharing their daily life, which I shall never forget,” wrote Bendtz in his report to Geneva. “They had suffered a lot during the past year and we came, as one said, “like an angel from Heaven, to soothe and comfort their sorrowful hearts.” “They had not met another foreigner since internment, and the concerts and speeches made in honor of the War Prisoners’ Aid representative were visible tokens of their gratitude.” Solutions to many problems facing War Prisofters’ Aid of the YMCA, a participating agency of the National War Fund, in its service to prisoners and civilian internees in Europe and the Far East, are greatly facilitated by the cooperation of Sweden.

I totally, 100% stole this packaging from Cookieartisan. I've always used these boxes, but I never once thought to line them with anything. (Hey Maryann, any hints on lining these easier? It was a pain! But sooo pretty!) I just love how they look all packaged up!

Ode to a Tangerine
O tangerine,
that once was green,
and hung upon a tree
I thank the Lord
I can afford
a tangerine for me.
O fruit so sweet
compact, complete
ingeniously made
with sticky hands
my voice commands
a citrus serenade.
O brightly colored
citrus fruit!
your value no one
can dispute
such cunning package
for your flavor
I can't express
the joy I savor
Every segment,
cool and sweet--
O tangerine,
you're good to eat.
And now remains
an orange heap
the skin and seeds
I will not keep
but mem'ry fond
I'll cherish long
by tangerine's
compos'ed song.

Happy Thursday xoxo
I've been packaging my orders in different kinds of fun paper, such as school ruled, college ruled or ledger. It's amazing how pretty it can look dressed up with some ribbon or twine! Who would have thought school supplies could double as cute gift wrap?
WEEK 52.1 – Flashback 2016: Hernando Walmart (IV)
Here’s a look at the packaged deli sign, which hung from the ceiling above some coffin cases and the coolers along the right-side wall. As much as I like these classic Project Impact pillow signs, the ones in grocery here seemed a little redundant: they have text on both sides, but the side opposite the one pictured above really isn’t of much use! With the black décor 2.0 remodel, one-sided signs replaced these and simply line the wall.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

Be Still 52 , week 5 - I haven't had much time for photography lately due to my son's upcoming wedding. When I was getting ready to pack up his groomsmen's gifts this morning, I decided to do a little open-the-front-door side-lighting. "Subtly Yours" texture.

The MM theme for 8/11 is candles and how could I not have a blue birthday candle possibility?…. Must measure this later
The packaging for my blythe headbands, topped with a handmade flower...two have already gone off to a new home. I have a couple yet to be photographed, and I'm working on more!
See my profile for the link :)
While confined indoors with a little flu I thought about packaging, walked through the house and photographed some. Quite badly I might add.
We overpackage, there is no doubt about it. And its become not only an environmental but a security issue
Sometimes some innovative people make something new out of old packaging - see top left (part of a giraffe made of old cans) and top right (angel made of old cans).
Hope you have a good Sunday
