a while ago (like in september of last year),
i was school shopping for my son doing that darn
list. the list that says; pencils, paper, eraser, markers
glue. toward the end, the list gets sorta weird
and asks for things like paper towels, or plastic
bags... and my list said a box of tissue. so off to the correct
isle i went. now, my criteria for tissue is simple... the best box.
i want the best box (which as you know can be hard)!
right?
i sat there looking... when i started to wonder
how on earth someone gets that job? how does one
get to design a kleenex box? then i thought... i could make
a cool kleenex box. i sure wish i could do that.
(this is true, i really wished that)
THEN (literally) two days later there is an email
from Kimberly Clark in my etsy inbox... hi there it says.
i am an art director for Kimberly Clark and i was on etsy,
and i saw your work and we would like for you to design
a kleenex box for us.
well...
YIPPEE!!!
(and yes)
followed by a little celebration dance.
so here is my contribution to the decorating world.
i sure hope you enjoy it.
i am terrifically excited about it!
*now... these photos are not mine, they are from a
lovely lady who was kind enough to photograph her
box for me (thank you Amy) . my fear is that i will
never see my box grace the shelves of our local shops
here on the palouse. but i
will be on the lookout!!!
OOx,
