My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Cute DIY Seed Envelopes :)

9 years ago

After paying $8 on Etsy for 9 (really cute) envelopes, I decided to buy an envelope punch board for $10 at Michaels (with 50% off coupon) and made my own seed envelopes. I used old labels that weren't that sticky so I can remove without ruining the envelope.

I am new to seed saving so maybe paper envelopes aren't the way to go but they are so cute that I think it will brighten up the winter months for me to be able to organize these cute things. The ones I bought are the polka dot ones, they reminded me of the book Put Me In The Zoo :).....

    Paper envelopes are good. They allow air to circulate. If your seeds aren't 100% dry when you package them up they won't mold in paper envies if they get air. Some people add some of those moisture absorbing pellets in the box (like you get when you buy a new pair of shoes). That helps draw away any extra moisture, too. Love your envies!
