All cut and ready!

I cut out my candies and arrange them in groups of 12 on vinyl file folders, then stack them all in one basket. It is easy to pick them up and arrange them in lines of 50.
I mailed my first set a few days ago with something extra that I decided to gift everyone with this time around!

Gaijin, love your ironing board cover, did you make it?
WMUTEACH, your quilt is gorgeous, orange is one of my favorite colors.
I am going to order my cards from amazon, if 50 candies are too much for their envelopes I have on hand card envelopes from Walmart.
everybody, have a happy day and stay warm!

Yes 50! not 30! Mercy@me. I did tell everyone we got so much snow right? I think it froze my brain!

NO worries....y'all will get a minimum of 50. I plan on stopping at the Dollar Store and post office today and will get everyone's cards so they are ready to go. Feels good knowing the pressure is off!

My Candies went out yesterday. My postman gave me a thumbs up on how they were packaged and I came home with a sheet of 70 cent stamps.

I mailed my Package out today and Juststitchin should have it before the 5th. We have had a lot of flooding here in TN not really in my area but but in the McNairy County. It only cost me 70 cents to mail it out so I guess I did a better job this year of packaging the candies.

Hi Everybody it’s Juststitchin. I am not home to receive my candies as I am in Temecula, California at a Quilters Retreat. I plan to be home by Saturday March 2 if I can make all my flights. My hubby told me that I ha e packages coming in the mail and waiting for me. As soon as I get home I will open those and get to posting immediately. Thank you for all that have sent to me I am so excited to get home and get them opened.
quilty Hugs,

I had bought cards at the dollar store, and turns out the are a bit smaller so I could not get my candies to lay flat, and with them overlapped the package was too thick. So I bought an envelope at the PO and repacked and got them sent off. Then I went to Walmart and bought a pack of greeting card envelopes that were the correct size.

I make my own birthday cards and use the greeting card envelope from Walmart. My system works perfect.
