Mine will probably be a medium Flat Rate but it really depends upon what you're sending. If the package is heavy, Flat Rate is the way to go. If your SS is within a few states of your own, you might be able to use Regional Flat Rate, which is a bit cheaper. If the package is lightweight, you might do better with a regular box.

I usually just use Flat Rate, then make sure it's heavy enough to get my money's worth out of the postage.

Don't y'all use that word, in Indiana?

Seriously?

We had more vendors there this year than ever before & since I know these folks, got some really good deals. I've been out of the naughty hole the last couple of days, time to slide down & join the fun!

Clue for the day: You like handmade goodies.

Definitely ME! I'm beginning to think I must have lots of Secret Santas!

Awwww, all that's lurking in this hole are wonderful, generous, kind-hearted, peace-loving, misunderstood angels. Oh, yeah! And lots of good eats and drinks!

Now, Nessie, speak for youself. Sane is not a word that describes any quilter. After all, we are the people that take perfectly good fabric, cut it up, so it back together, then sometimes, cut that back up, and yet so it together again. So, I think sane is not a way to describe us. LOL Eccentric, out there, off our rockers, tilted, wierd, perplexing, yes all of those, but sane. NO WAY and all of us know it. LOL

Gee, you make it sound so . . . so . . . so beautiful!!!! Oh, now I'm getting all choked up and teary-eyed. Heavens to Betsy! We're just the BEST people, on the face of the earth! ::::: sniff, sniff :::::: {{{{{{GROUP HUG}}}}}}

Still need to wash a piece of the fabric, for my next quilt top. It's just another super simple one, to get done in time for Christmas. Sooner or later, I need to get all these tops finished!
