We all love receiving happy mail, but putting happy mail together for our dearest friends can be just as much fun. An old cigar box filled with little goodies is a wonderful way to present your RAK.


“Presentation is everything” , Mom would always say . “ Take the time, do it right, do it with love, make your family and friends feel special. “


Embellished envelopes filled with old pictures and chipboard are a welcomed surprise.


Ribbon and lace tied and se-


cured with a stick pin, makes even the packaging re-useable.


Tying trinkets to a bow allows the receiver to use it maybe one more time.


Altered matchboxes make wonderful boxes to store little embellishments. Its two pre- sents in one. A handmade crea- tion that has been given and the wonderful items inside.


Flowers placed in clear tubing or a jar, adds color and happi- ness to the package.


Embellish the packaging of store bought items with ribbon or twine and add a bow or flower.


Whatever you place, or whatev- er you send, enjoy the act of giving . Package it with love.
