|CULP 348 - TheOther:Immigrant Integration
With a record 200 million people living outside their country of birth, immigration is a global phenomenon with profound demographic, economic, social, and political implications for both sending and receiving countries. The debates over immigration policies have become increasingly volatile and, in some instances, characterized by misinformation, hate, and xenophobia. Beyond the politics of immigration, genuine challenges to immigrant integration abound. Successful integration of immigrants is critical to the long-term prosperity of host countries that rely on immigrants as workers, consumers, taxpayers, innovators, and entrepreneurs in light of their aging native-born populations and lower birth rates. In this course we will explore the cultural and historical basis for conceptualizing immigrants as the Other. We will also explore the ways, in which both the term and the concept are translated into contemporary policy towards immigrant "others" and how immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers now claim to speak as Others. We will raise questions about traditional understandings of nationality, loyalty, place and identity; discuss models of multiculturalism citizenship, as well as transnationalism and post-nationalism, paradigms that challenge an integrationist reading of migration. Theoretical writings, ethnographies, and works of fiction will inform our discussions. We will focus on case studies of France, Germany, the United States, and Canada. This course is an upper-level seminar and is structured around active student participation and discussion. It is of interest to students of anthropology, sociology, international relations, government, public policy, gender studies and ethnic studies. This course is taught as part of the Doyle Initiative on Engaging Difference. See http://doyleinitiative.georgetown.edu/ COURSE OUTCOMES By the end of the semester, students will be able to: • Identify the cultural and historical basis for conceptualizing the Other; • Think critically and comparatively about the meanings of difference, identity, and belonging; • Understand and engage with contemporary debates related to immigrant integration policies and practices; • Prepare discussion questions and lead class discussions on a wide range of issues; • Write reflectively about immigrant integration, identity, and belonging; • Design a policy memo on selected integration issues; and • Use theoretical concepts and frameworks discussed in class to analyze a work of fiction dealing with immigrant integration and identity. REQUIRED READINGS In this class we will be reading a wide variety of publications, including theoretical and empirical papers published in peer-reviewed journals as well as ethnographies and works of fiction. Books (in order of reading). All books can be purchased from local or online bookstores. Some are also available on Kindle. Zygmunt Bauman. 2011. Culture in a Liquid Modern World. Cambridge: Polity.

ICO Analysis: Hero
The current state of cryptocurrency gambling is not yet the best it could be. While we have the option to bet sports at the likes of CloudBet and others, or to provably fairly roll dice at PrimeDice and others, what we don't have is enough ways to bet against each other. For most people, the concept of sports betting doesn't extend beyond betting with each other. This is the concept behind Hero, which wants to enable people to, in a decentralized manner, bet with each other on sporting events. That's how simple it is at the base layer, but there are a few things yet to go over.
A high amount of untrustworthy and off-shore providers has lowered the trust of people in the current betting market. It is never completely guaranteed that users receive their winnings. All these problems have one common ground—centralization. Centralized systems create excessive risks for users like exploitation of user data, prohibitive legal regulations, vulnerability to manipulation and denial of withdrawals. That is where the blockchain and the HERO coin ('HERO') come into play. […] The smart contracts of HERO are designed to not only enable decentralized betting, but to manage whole contests without a middleman. With HERO, there is no need of bookmakers anymore.
It may still be hard to see what they're talking about. Basically, Hero is going to be a platform that allows people to make fair bets between each other, with no brokers or bookmakers.
What if the community becomes the middleman? […] Here's where the blockchain technology comes in place. The HERO Network allows peer-2-peer predictions of the outcome of games to take place independent of middlemen, such as bookkeepers or betting providers. The system relies on an innovative pooling system that makes it possible for players to challenge their friends or the community directly instead of using the services of bookmakers. The objective is to revolutionize the monotonous betting market and to bring back the lost social thought of betting.
Elsewhere in this paper, Hero claim that the system of online gambling hasn't changed for 15 years. Now, in general, it can be assumed that many things do not change because they simply work. Indoor plumbing, for instance, hasn't had to improve very much at the base of it. Similarly, one really has to ask: is the current online gambling and bookie system not working? Well, perhaps that's not truly relevant. Perhaps the question we actually want to ask is: will enough people be willing to try this alternative method?
Enter the Herosphere, which is briefly mentioned elsewhere in the paper, and is an existing community of 200,00 people. In a moment we'll discuss more about it, but the bottom line is if this community is immediately converted to the token, and they have to buy more of them to place more bets, then it would seem that the token will have a demand out of the gate. This is a positive sign, to say the least, but we'll have to continue looking here before we can decide if we feel positively or not.
The above being said, what we conclude, really, is that what we're dealing with is in fact a situation wherein anyone can participate, and the network becomes the bookie. Anyone can offer bets, however. They give the example of a Twitch streamer who might incentivize the audience and be compensated through the network for offering a contest amongst them.
The HERO Network will first be implemented and tested on the Developer's own esports platform herosphere.gg where HERO will be exposed to an existing user base of over 200,000 active players.
While it is not made totally clear if the issue will be forced, one thing that is made clear is that every contest will pay 1% of its proceeds to the network as a whole. This is an interesting scheme which may encourage people to hold the token. If that becomes the case, demand for it will only increase, and ability to meet that demand will decline, as holders just continue to collect their rewards.
If this were to happen and a significant number of coins were kept off market, the price would probably increase just by natural market economics. That would be an interesting way to increase the value of a coin, so it will be a good experiment to watch. In any case, the prospect of a dividend on the token is probably a plus for most long-term investors, but short-term investors won't be in it long enough to care about that part of it. Nevertheless, as previously described, this coin might see solid gains as a result of people trying to hold it for the dividend.
We know that Hero's team have successfully run their company at Herosphere.gg since 2014. We see no reason they won't be able to handle the actual implementation of the software. Instead, we'll focus our attention on the project itself, in this case.
Hero Token
As stated, all token holders will receive a 1% rake back of everything done on the network. This will incentivize at least a small population of investors to hold long-term, stacking up these gains and riding the charts.
We know that 600 million tokens will be issued, but 2 billion will exist in sum total, which is quite a few, but if enough betting activity takes place on the network, then it won't actually matter how many coins are out there. Additionally, if a lot of coins are held off the market, then the demand for those that are on the market will float the price a bit higher, at least. Tokens will be around 2 and a half cents at opening, giving room for growth. However, with 2 billion coins in the wind, if the price hits 10 cents, you're talking about a $200 million market cap. If the price hits $20, you're talking about many billions. So it's unlikely that we'll see an extreme upward valuation, but there will definitely be enough play that you can make something.
Only 600 million coins are coming out in the crowd sale. The rest will be held back. They give their various explanations, but this is just absurd. The ICO firms that are coming out are increasingly thinking this is just the time to grab free money. We can't abide these distribution schemes. If there are going to be 2 billion coins in total, then all of them should be available for sale immediately. It doesn't matter if that lowers the price, or if the target raise is only several million dollars. The coins should be available to the public, since you're taking the funds that you get from selling the tokens and using those funds, by keeping the tokens as well, you double dip. By keeping that many tokens, you deeply double-dip.
The Verdict
We definitely don't like the distribution on this one, despite the following explanation:
A total amount of 2 billion HERO will be created by the Developer. The Developer intends to exchange only 600 million HERO (or 30 percent of the Total Coin Amount) in this Initial Coin Offer for Ether. The remaining 1.4 billion HERO (or 70 percent of the Total Coin Amount) will be used for other purposes. The Developer explicitly reserves the right to exchange the retained portion of 1.4 billion HERO for other virtual currencies or sell it for Euro or any other fiat currency at a later point in time at any marketable price. However, the Developer will commit itself to adhere to the following restrictions in the use, exchange or selling of HERO on the market. Especially, the Developer will commit itself to only exchange or sell such amounts of HERO that, to the best knowledge of the Developer, would not have a visible impact on the market value of HERO.
So, overall, we probably wouldn't get involved. Although there is a nice dividend, overall, there are problems we'd rather not get involved with – like the above.
- Too many coins means that the 1% dividends split amongst all coins is a lot less money. -1
- Moreover, since 1.4 billion of the 2 billion coins belong to the "Developer," most token holders wouldn't get much of the proceeds anyway. -1
- There's a risk that people may be comfortable where they are in terms of betting. -1
Growth Potential
- Gambling is big money. +4
- The established community is a positive. +2
- We think this thing will work, the token will just always have a low value. +1
We arrive at a 4, or less than thrilled, on Hero.

Polaroid Color Film for 8x10 - 10 Exp.Model: 4680
Manufacturer: Polaroid
Out of Stock
Designed for people who like things old school – really old school – the Polaroid 8x10 Film is made almost entirely by hand for classic large-format cameras, and creates photos with clarity and detail that just isn't possible on other types of film. However, it requires special equipment, a lot of manual processing and even more technical knowhow, so if you're not a seasoned veteran, you might want to try one of our other formats first.
Before Polaroid created the integral instant film we all know and love, they made manually-processed, peel-apart film. In 1973, they introduced 8x10, a large format film which creates photos of incredible quality. It's more complex than other instant film formats, but there's nothing like it, which is why we're still making it today, by hand, with no expense spared.
- Color film for 8x10 large format cameras
- 10 photos per pack
- For use with 8x10 cameras with a Polaroid film holder and processor
- 640 ASA Film Speed
- Storage temperature: 34-45 °F (1-7 °C)
- Format: 12.8" x 8.5" (325 mm x 215 mm)
- Image area: 9.5" x 7.5" (241 mm x 190 mm)

Spam is unsolicited email. Email you didn't expect. Email that can do you lots of harm.
Any email whose sender seems unfamiliar is pretty sure to be spam.
They do it because it pays—handsomely.
More than seven hundred million people use the Internet. If just .0001% of those users each sent the spammer one dollar—well, you work it out! And when people are taken in, it's usually a great deal more than one dollar that's lost.
In Nigeria, one group of three people was convicted of having obtained over two million dollars by means of the "Nigerian Letter".
A couple in America paid $300,000 in "expenses" to fraudsters who pretended that they were heirs to a fortune.
Every day people are tricked into going to what they believe is a legitimate site, where they obligingly provide all of their personal details, including bank account and credit card numbers.
Many, many people buy advertised goods that never arrive.
People who have a bad credit rating pay a hefty upfront fee for a new credit card or a home loan. They receive neither.
There are some spams intended to spread a virus. That's discussed on the page about mass mailing viruses.
Some want you to go to a website where various unpleasantnesses can happen and the spammer gets a payment per visitor. More about that on the page about nasty things and how to avoid them.
If you see, in your inbox, a letter from eBay, or PayPal, or your bank, the natural impulse is to open it and read it. Don't! Such emails are dangerous—extremely so. They employ a very nasty technique called "phishing".
If one of these phishing emails is opened, it will have a link. If that link is clicked, the victim will think they're at a site they trust—in the case of the last six in this picture, the site of a bank.
The link does NOT go to the site of a bank. The links in bogus emails lead to websites that may look like the real thing—same colours, same layout, same everything—except that any details you type in will go to a fraudster. The only way to safely go to the site of your bank, or to any secure site, is to type the address into the address bar. There is absolutely no need to do anything with these emails but delete them on sight. It doesn't matter if they have "Urgent" or "Your Account has been disabled" or any other panicky message. They are NOT real. Delete Them!
If you've opened it already, don't click the link. Click the delete icon on the toolbar of the email itself.
If the bank in the heading is your own bank and you can't help thinking that maybe it really is from them, or if you think it really is from eBay, or your credit union, still don't click the link. The message can seem very urgent—but don't click the link. These letters are worded to worry or excite you. They may say that your payments are overdue, or that your account has become inactive, or that they've lost your details.
Pick up the phone and dial your bank, or go to the real website by typing it into your address bar. (In the case of your bank, the website address will be on some of the paperwork you've had from them.)
Incidentally—nothing to do with the Internet—don't throw bank statements or other sensitive documents out with your garbage, either.)
By the way, hovering over the link should show the real address in the status bar. No longer true, I'm afraid. Many now use a piece of javascript to make the status bar show the expected address. Never click. Type the correct address yourself if you feel you must check.
Spammers send hundreds of thousands of emails every day. Some are just ads to persuade you to buy counterfeit clothes and jewellery, pirated software, cheap drugs and dubious medical treatments.
Some invite you to visit sleazy websites.
Some try to sell you things that won't be delivered—and maybe some really do have something to sell—who knows? They're breaking the law by spamming, so why trust them?
Some ask you to help smuggle money out of some far-away country.
If you're very public spirited, you can report individual spams purporting to be from banks or similar. If you Google for "report phishing", you'll find how to go about it. For other types, just type "report spam", adding one or two of the words in the subject—"cheap software" or whatever.
Otherwise, just delete the email unopened.
Having deleted the email, you have nothing further to worry about. They don't know who you are. It wasn't sent to you personally. You'll probably get another the same tomorrow—but so will thousands of other people.
Questions or comments? I'd love to hear from you. My email address is here.

Head of Revenue Management Solutions, Amadeus IT Group
Efficient revenue management for airlines is more important than ever especially in these times of economic uncertainty. Legacy systems are no longer sophisticated enough to deal with airlines' current business practices. Airlines understand this reality and have adjusted accordingly by adopting our Altéa Revenue Management solution. After only 4 years, we are proud to be the leading revenue management solution for Altéa segment based airlines. We've also just launched our Altéa Revenue Management Suite for O&D (Origin & Destination) airlines.
Most recently, Vistara, a dynamic Indian joint-venture between Singapore Airlines and Tata Group, became part of the Amadeus Altéa communityand has since reaped the benefits of Altéa Revenue Management.
Our future proof solution combines advanced airline demand forecasting techniques with a unique integration with Altéa Passenger Service System. Real-time data exchange with our inventory, reservation and fare quote systems enables to maximise revenues of fenceless fare structures, such as fare families, in a competitive environment.
Altéa Revenue Management also helps increase profitability with advanced end-to-end decision support tools. It provides airlines with instant access to key performance indicators from network level down to individual departure date. Dominique Gretz, VP Revenue Management and Network at Air Caraibes, states: "Today Altéa Revenue Management is the best solution for Air Caraibes: well integrated with the Altéa Suite, the solution is also user-friendly, and thanks to its daily re-optimisation process, it enabled us to significantly increase our revenues."
Our aim is to enable our partner airlines to leverage on their Altéa PSS to increase their yields and their overall profitability. Thus, we are continuously improving our revenue management solutions to ensure they are in line with airlines' business practices such as the integration of ancillary services in the optimisation process.
To know more about Altéa Revenue Management, have a look at our website.

It would seem life was good for the little Hamlet snuggled in the Saint John River Valley connected by their labor of love monument, the bridge. Life was good until July 15, 1907. At 1 am on Monday morning a fire broke out to the rear of W. F. Thornton's Drug Store. The fire bell only needed to be tapped twice to have people flying from doorways with pails and anything they could find to combat a fire. Before the fire apparatus arrived at the scene the flames were soaring skyward and crawling under the connected wood boardwalk engulfing and challenging other buildings in its path including the new wood river bridge. Dry weathered wood buildings and boardwalks that had stood since the early 1860s fell prey to its worst enemy.
There have been many pictures, thousands taken, of the bridge for various reasons; weddings, graduations, vacations, school class pictures, basketball teams, family photos. On August 5, 2018 there was a first.

Cafe (Tuk tuk) of the Week: Grind Coffee - Barista Brothers
Tuesday, 28 February, 2017
The Grind
is an umbrella brand that brings worldly journeymen together in an attempt to, as a creative individual, enjoy the finer things in live in a "kinda classy, kinda hood" setting.
Our first order of business, Artisan Coffee.
It all started when I decided to take a break from my office job as a manager of a filling station. The pressure and stress of working for a huge corporate company that can't seem to understand the struggles of the man on the ground got to me, hence, I decided to resign (with no real future plans).
Myself and my wife took a trip down to Johannesburg on our 48 Sportster, and the meditating effect of driving a rumbling motorcycle on the stillness of the open road shot an idea into my mind. Why not start artisan coffee in Polokwane? I've had a growing relationship with coffee since the day I started my first job in 2006, and with Polokwane not having a proper coffee shop I just couldn't have bad coffee anymore.
Locations to put up a coffee house would be very challenging in Polokwane, and the rent for these shops are pretty much insane.
So I remembered that about two years before that, my wife showed me a picture of a Tuk Tuk that sells bakery goods out of it (which she actually wanted to do). I remembered that one of my friends had a Tuk Tuk at his house, and the wheels in my head started turning. Upon our arrival back from Johannersburg, I scheduled a meeting with him to get this project up and running. a Mobile Artisan Coffee Tuk Tuk.
I immediately booked a professional barista course from the world famous Truth. Coffee in Cape Town, rated the best coffee shop in the world both 2015 and 2016 by The Telegraph in Britain.
Within two months our Tuk Tuk was built and ready for action, and we started our first official day of trading on the 1st of July 2016, with a massive and overwhelming reaction. The people loved it, and they wanted more. Support flocked in from all over, not only in terms of purchasing coffee from the Tuk Tuk, but people offering to make gourmet foods, help with branding and signage, companies phoning to ask if we could come and stand in front of their offices, everything. The community came together and made it their Tuk Tuk, not mine.
Located in Polokwane, we travel around our lovely city throughout the week with our Tuk Tuk's providing a relaxed break from the daily rat race, for journeymen to come enjoy a brilliantly brewed cup of coffee, some grooving tunes and real human connection, something we have realized has gotten lost in the age of smart phones and wifi.
By using social media as a platform, we send out our ever changing location via Whatsapp Broadcasts, Facebook and Instagram posts, to keep excitement as to where the Tuk will be today, as well as generate social marketing for the local business that provide us with spots to stand at.
Some days we organize homemade gourmet foods for our customers, including but not limited to sweet and sour semi spicy ciabatta's, salted caramel cupcakes and greek inspired beef kofta pitas with zingy tzatziki.
Running a Tuk Tuk as a coffee shop has its own set of challenges. Weather plays an important factor, as we have gotten sunburn as well as soaked in the rain. It also has an influence on our grinders, as the blades expand and contract due to the temperature of being exposed to the elements, meaning we have to adjust our grinders very regularly. But I wouldn't have it any other way...
We cater for any and all events where good coffee is needed over weekends, including having done numerous weddings, festivals, fun runs, high tea's, markets, fund raisers, film launches and cycle events, all over Limpopo and Gauteng. (Not saying we won't go anywhere else.) Our services in terms of the coffee Tuk Tuk's are very simple.
Our Tuk Tuk's are stocked with Eco Cups, 100% biodegradable cups in which we serve our Flat White's, Americano's , Espresso's, Latte's, Flavoured Latte's, Red Espresso's, Chai Tea's, Hot Chocolates, Iced Coffee's and Iced Teas. The coffee grounds are kept in the old bean bags, which we then give out to whomever needs compost for their gardens, our way of giving back to mother nature.
In Jan 2017 we launched the concept of Mandala Coffee's. A Mandala Coffee is a coffee paid for by a customer for a disadvantaged person. Meaning, a customer would come to the Tuk Tuk and ask for two Flat Whites and a Mandala Coffee. We then make the two Flat Whites, and ring up the Mandala Coffee's. Being on the street all the time with the Tuk Tuk's, we get passed by the homeless and poor quite regularly. Mandala Coffee's give us the opportunity to offer them a warm cup of coffee, free of charge.
If we have an excess of Mandala Coffee's, we make a payout of the cash and sponsor it to a local charity, helping the disadvantaged and needy wherever we can.
Since our start up in July 2016, we have also collaborated with local and innovative coffee roastery, Bayhound Coffee Works to build a "The Grind in partnership with Bayhound Coffee Works" Tuk Tuk, where they get the opportunity to create more awareness around their beans through our mobile design.
Their passion and creativity has inspired us and knowing that there are more like minded people in our beautiful city has drawn us to them. But that is not all from The Grind.
Look out for our website www.the-grind.co.za which will be live soon, where we look forward to unveiling a T-shirt brand, exciting developments in a collaboration of artisan coffee and craft beers, a barista school as well as permanent pop up shops.
We would like to thank Coffee Magazine for giving us the opportunity to be a part of your exiting magazine from as far as Polokwane, showing that humble beginnings and innovation in coffee truly get recognized by the masters of the trade. We truly appreciate the opportunity, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Last but not least, we would like to thank our amazing support structure in terms of our customers in Polokwane, and elsewhere. We might have only started the coffee revolution in our lovely city in 2016, but without your continued support and need for quality coffee, we wouldn't have been able to continually and consistently bring you the best artisan coffee in Limpopo (at least).

Spend part of your visit to Holden at Buckeye Bud's Adventure Woods.
Children can build a log shelter; hop, jump and limbo their way through the obstacle course; or take a quiet break at the bird feeding station. Be sure to explore Buckeye Bud's Woodland Cabin, weave on the over-sized loom or use your imagination to act out a play in our woodland theater.
The observation tower is a great place to see turtles and frogs in Buttonbush Bog.
Buckeye Bud's Adventure Woods will be open through October and is designed for families with children ages 3 to 10.
Buckeye Buds Adventure Woods is not staffed, adults are responsible to actively supervise children in their care.
Habitat Exploration at the Habitat Hut
Tuesdays & Saturdays, 9:30-11:30am
The Habitat Hut playhouse is located in the Myrtle S. Holden Wildflower Garden and is set among four easy-to-access habitats: prairie, stream, bog and woodland. Stop-in on Tuesday and Saturday mornings to read a story and set off on a habitat exploration led by education volunteers and staff. Each program is a little different and teaches families about the plants and animals that thrive in these different habitats, as-well-as the importance of caring for the natural world all around us. With hands-on activities and time to explore as a family, you never know what you'll discover at the Habitat Hut.

Cultural Capital (2009)
Protocols for Curators
To be enacted, Cultural_Capital requires a curator to commit to 'caring for' the sour dough starter for a week (mostly just one stir once a day!) and devising and hosting an event at which the sour dough starter is distributed amongst guests. The curator is free to make all decisions regarding the event and installation of the sour dough without consultation with the artists. However, the artists are very willing to talk with the curator about any aspect of the project, and are on hand should the curator need emergency advice regarding the state of the sour dough.
The artists do not need to be present for the installation of the work, nor for the event at which the sour dough starter is distributed.
Installation requirements
Please Note that if you would like to make bread from the starter then a further 2-3 day process is required (see 'How to produce loaves' section below).
Equipment requirements
Specific human support necessary
Documentation of the project
Curators can use documentation from their process/event in any way they wish. They can publicise their process/event in any way they wish. They are asked to provide the artists with at least one piece of documentation of the process and the event. The documentation from each curator probably will be installed online at www.gloriousninth.net

Steve Jobs's Best Quotes – Digits – WSJ
October 6, 2011
This is a great piece in the Wall Street Journal. I'm glad they updated and reprinted it. Jobs' remarks on design will help you understand why Apple has such a dedicated following.
Steve Jobs, one of the fathers of the personal computing era and the founder of Apple, died Wednesday at the age of 56. Although he will be remembered for ushering in fundamental changes in the way people interact with technology, he has also been known for his ability to turn a phrase – and a knack for taking complicated ideas and making them easy to understand. Below, a compendium of some of the best Steve Jobs quotes.

OSHA estimates that the cost of a single laceration is $41,397 and a puncture $53,598. Choosing the right gloves, and wearing them, can cut that cost and all the grief that comes from a major injury. All that taken together is a big reason why our customers love our gloves.
Another reason they love our gloves is that we're always listening to our customers to find out what they need and what works best in every working environment. Multiple times per year we even conduct focus groups to get feedback straight from the end users. Then we're putting that information to use to create the next set of outstanding gloves.
Customer input is vital but so is exploring new materials and new manufacturing methods. This drives constant innovation and helps us produce leading edge gloves. One can easily see the innovation at work with our awarding winning Orange Kevlar, shown in use above.
Of course, our leading edge gloves are more than enough to fall in love with. But we also produce a complete range of gloves for every application. That means you can find what you need in gloves or personal protection all in one place.
But don't listen just to us. After all, we already love our gloves. Here's what our customers have to say:
If that isn't enough, we've also won a few awards.
We're also very active within the industry. We take pride in our leadership helping to develop industry standards and certainly in helping to establish safety guidelines. One example is our U.S. Sales Director, Matt Reid, who serves on the board of the International Glove Association and is former chairman of the ISEA Hand Protection Group. His recent article "Better Protective Gloves Take Worker Injuries in Hand" was published in Industrial Maintenance and Plant Operation Magazine.
We could go on, but you get the point. There's a whole host of reasons why our customers love us and why you will too.
When it comes to personal protective equipment, we've got you covered. Whether it's gloves, glasses, garments, or all three, you can find them at MCR Safety.
For more information about our products browse our website, request a catalog, find a distributor, or give us a call at 901-795-5810. To check out more video testimonials from happy customers, check out our YouTube channel

Hope you're all finding time to enjoy the holiday season!! I've been doing some last minute crafting...I always end up with a few gifts of money and gift cards and I try to find some fun ways to "wrap" them. This year I went with a project from a few years ago called an "Inside Out Box". Click here for the original post with the how-to's. Here's an example of the box done up for Christmas:
Remove the cover, and this is what's on the inside of the box:
Turn the box "inside out"...using the cover as the base for this stand-up greeting:
I changed it up a bit to use as a money box. I attached the snowman to the top of the cover:
And instead of attaching a character on the inside of the box, I wrapped some money around the stand in the center (you can tape the money to the "stand" if you want it to be more secure):
With a few tweaks you can use this same idea for gift cards...I'll show you a sample tomorrow!!
