I sent out all of my f8's today to everyone else today. I've just got 3 pieces to go to people that are in both swaps.

I went to the post office today, and found out that it is less expensive to send out a flat large envelope, than putting it into a legal envelope, which is fat or lumpy.

I just got back from the post office. I had purchased 6x9 manila envelopes without the clasp thinking I would get by with .61 postage. They said that since they were "lumpy" (the seams), I had to pay extra for hand canceling because they wouldn't go through the machines. I thought it interesting that they didn't mark them to be "hand canceled."

Hello Besties!

Shaysmema - so glad to hear that your husband is home and doing better!

I received F8s today from Chigger Holler Quilter and OK Darla. Lovely! Ideas are churning...

You can buy those envelopes in bulk. I am going to use the big ones, as it will be cheaper to buy them than to pay for lumpy envelopes. He also told me that the flat rate envelopes have to be flat, too. Otherwise, you have to put them into the box!

Grown-up blocks went home to PokerDiva, twospoiledhuskies, fryguymoore, janecat, Oatw13. You can preview them on my blog. If you want to be surprised, don't! Someday, I'll have all 70 blocks posted there!
