WELL DONE SWAPPERS!!!!! All bags are here. There were a couple of issues but that will be worked out between me and the swapper.
I'm going to throw this out there for any more swaps you may be participating in (with me or someone else).
GET *PRIORITY* FLAT RATE ENVELOPES - **LEGAL SIZE**
free (of charge and shipping)from USPS.COM
They are ONLY AVAILABLE by ordering on line.
(at least not available in my local USPS)
That priority flat rate is $4.95 - and will EASILY hold 24 baggies! It does not mean the envelope has to remain FLAT...just needs to close with their sticky strip and closure can be reinforced with tape.
If you don't see me on line the next week, it's because I'm knee deep in 2 1/2" strips!

Yippe skippy, can't wait to get mine back. I was able to use those tyvek envelopes. Love 'em. Have fun sorting through all of those strips. Guess you will be a stripper now :D
Have a blessed day.

Using the tyvek envelopes are not bad if you're only mailing one or two tyveks.....try mailing out 29 envelopes/boxes.....makes the people next in line throw dagger looks.
I have plans for the next swap that will make it easier on the swapper, the hostess, the PO clerk and the people next in line! LOL
