In some societies there are not many ways women can earn money especially working from home. Several years ago I had the opportunity to tour the Waspi factory in Mountain Home, AR. That is how they do a lot of their packaging. They will take a large bag of dubbing and a bunch of little bags to a women at her home and she will do the individual packaging and labeling. Same with all sorts of their products. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So...she sat down again last night and gave it another go. Definite improvement from the first attempt (top) to the second (bottom).
