Packaging nerds unite
I think I can officially be known as a packaging nerd.

We Love Liam
Lynn Russell – she of the amazing Satsuma Press, with whom I had such a fruitful collaboration last year – is doing something really special today, to coincide with her son Liam’s 6th birthday! Liam has a muscular disease that makes his day-to-day living quite challenging. One of the things that’s difficult is bathing, and Lynn and her husband really …
