One of the beautiful blogs I follow is oh, hello friend: you are loved: a gorgeous collection of design, food, DIY projects and other happy things. Danni, the blogger behind oh, hello friend has a particular penchant for packaging – both her own beautiful work and other peoples, you can see some examples here.

Anyhoo, Oh, Hello friend recently announced a new project – The Lovely Package Exchange Summer 2012 and I just signed up! The idea is a gift exchange, with an emphasis on creating beautiful packaging. Once everyone has signed up I’ll be assigned a partner and then we have until July 12 to create our packages. I’ll get a few clues about the person I’m creating for as everyone has to sign up with a little profile. Mine went like this:
URL: justkeepsewing.net
Location: Geneva, Switzerland
5 favorite things:
- Lake-swimming
- Avocados
- Elephants

5 words to describe you or your style:

- vintage-inspired
- pattern-obsessed
- lots-o-colour

This is the first time I’ve done anything as part of an online community and I’m really looking forward to it!
