I use recycled packaging and wanted to label it as recycled so my customer understands that I'm environmentally conscious and not "too cheap to buy a envelope".  I  first thought  I would buy some stickers and print my message to stick on the packaging.  Wait, that's using extra paper I don't need!! Hmmm, then I thought of using a rubber stamp.  Excellent idea, I can reuse my stamp over and over.  Off, I went in search of a stamp.  I didn't like what I saw in craft stores, too generic looking.  There were some Etsy sellers with very cute stamps, but they didn't say exactly what I wanted to say.   Then I came across a blog 
 RoughStock that offered a free graphic! Cool... but I still wanted my shop name on the stamp.   I decided to start from scratch.    I fired up GIMP, created my message with a recycle symbol. Hooray!!  I sent it off for printing at 
RubberStamps.net.    Here's the finished product, it says it all:

Cool!! Love that stamp too!
wonderful!
That is a very wonderful idea. Are you selling them? Could we have our etsy addresses at the bottom?
Most excellent!
Sister Mary I created the graphic and uploaded it to http://www.rubberstamps.net/ for a custom stamp. I could help you with a graphic if you want.
Great stamp! Much better than the one I got for myself--d'oh!
