Finishing Touches: Seed Packets are a Go

I spent the afternoon putting the finishing touches on my Cosmo seed packets.  It was a good day to be indoors, with cold temps and the occasional light shower.

The seed packets are ready! I’ve been saving them in a paper cup since late summer. Today I sprinkled them into individual, 3 x 3 glassine envelopes, then sealed them with a hand-punched heart.  I momentarily panicked that I wouldn’t have enough to fill 20 envelopes but I did.  I even remembered to save a few seeds for my garden next spring.

I punched the hearts out of a glossy fashion catalog.  The green, water-color background was just the thing. No two hearts are alike. Aren’t they fun?

It’s nice to check this task off my list, but I must admit it’s been an enjoyable one.  I hope the seeds live on with friends and neighbors (and the occasional bird) in the seasons to come.
