The one from hoppyfrog must have resisted delivery. Looks like it got crunched in a machine and nearly torched. There were several rips and two parts of the envelope that were burned through and the plastic inside was burned onto the fabric. Yipes! I've reassured this lovely fabric that it has come to a very nice home and is only here for a short visit. I've promised to give it some very friendly fabrics to play with. I think it feels much better now. :-D (Not to worry, hoppyfrog, the burned areas equaled about half the size of a dime. Still have nearly the whole piece to work with).

Here is what I was told yesterday afternoon by the nice lady at my Post Office's inner counter. I was there to mail out 14 blocks for Boomerang 1.0, and we were discussing the fact that I had one block come back and the envelope was SEVERELY damaged to the point where I have not yet opened it.
I was told that it is better to take those envies to the counter and have them checked over by the clerk. If they exceed the 1/4" thick maximum, your clerk can put a stamp on them that says "PARCEL". This will prevent the envie from going through the automated machinery. It gets put onto a moving belt instead, and your fabric/block should arrive safely.
And I must admit, my Postal Clerk was wonderful. So many of them are too rushed to even smile, but she was concerned that my mail was important and precious and wanted it to arrive as safely as I do.
[note: another little trick I learned a long time ago is to mark your envelope with the following: HAND CANCEL PLEASE - PHOTOGRAPHS ENCLOSED. This will also avoid most, if not all, automated machinery handling on the envelope.]
I hope these little tricks will help each of you avoid any heartbreak as we go through Boomerang 2.0 together.

p.s. I also got 3 squishies yesterday, but don't recall who they were from (I'm @ work). I also have not opened them, as I am completing my 1.0 blocks before I do. 8-) Can't wait to see what challenges await me this time!

I got squishies from AKAngel & oatw13 today.
I have fabric & blocks picked out for all 6 that I have. I had to take a sick day from school today - but that was with the promise that I would wash the dishes and clean up the bedroom before I did any sewing. I haven't left my computer since I woke up -- I better at least get those dishes washed...
I promise I won't breathe the "sick germs" onto your fabrics. I'm already on antibiotics!
