Eight Hundred Cards

What does 800 cards from Crafterall look like?

Something like this:

Sorted, counted, ready to package:


Making the cards is the biggest part, but by no means the only part of filling such a large order. There's packaging the individual cards and/or sets with envelopes and inserts, completing and printing necessary packing and billing paperwork, packing the entire order to be shipped, and obtaining postage for the whole deal.


I really like this part. It's relatively mindless and it lets me do something I love: play with packaging!


This is starting to feel kinda "big time." I'm exhausted, proud, and thrilled all at once. Phew!

*edited to add: Did you know that there is a wiki page for the number "800"? At first, I thought it was a bit ridiculous as I read, "800 (eight hundred) is the natural number following 799 and preceding 801." Um... duh. We need a wiki for this? Then, I read this: "It is the sum of four consecutive primes (193 + 197 + 199 + 211), " and proceeded to geek out. This is actually pretty darn cool. See here for more on 800 or choose your own number.*

INCREDIBLE!!!! Congrats on getting through this massive order, Marnie!! It looks so perfect and professional. Damn! You are so GOOD!

It's funny that you mention all the counting... it is a big part of working in paper isn't it?! I bet you have counting systems and tallies everywhere. Seeing numbers in your head like Rain Man.

It IS BIG TIME! I love watching you rock this work out and I look forward to your future successes! Someday, my dream of being your recycling department in your corporation will come true :)
