Hi PamelaOry. :) I stack 8 candies into 6 sets with two additional on top, rounding out the 50. I wrap all in plastic wrap (saran type) and put them inside a birthday card inside an A9 envelope, (5.75"x8.75"). The envelope is slim and light enough to come in at under two ounces, now costing 70 cents. Here's a pic of the way I stack them:

Hope that helps. :)

edited to add: some people just stack them inside a card but I invariably open the envelope and some fall out. I like to use the plastic wrap, but not the sticky press and seal, as I find that the candies can stick and ravel at the edges.

Went shopping today with DH and got to Family Dollar and picked up 40 birthday cards. Now to get to cutting the candies!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]607764[/ATTACH]Hello I am a newbie to the Birthday Swap but I am super excited about it. I spent today getting all {37} sets of 50 charms cut and sorted into their respective piles. I am all out of plastic wrap and ziplock baggies but I’ll get some later this week and also my birthday cards. It is going to be so exciting to get some actual mail and not bills for my birthday this year. Cannot wait to get it started.
waiting for the fun to start!

Oh my where am I? I have checked the list and checked it more than twice and I am still not listed. Help please I wanna play��

Did you hear cheering early this evening? I have 38 little bundles of 50 all cut! Just need to get them put away so they do not get rearranged by my kitty. I made 38 because 37 is the max in the swap and I made an extra just in case a package gets lost in Neverland and needs to be re-mailed. I am patting myself on the back for being ready early and to only used cuts from my stash.

From time to time folks do and it is fun, but one that is easy and it doesn't add much weight is to send a pattern to use with 2.5 squares. Well, I like them any way. New ideas are always welcome. A fun 5x5 has been seen to show up too. Even though out heart may "want" to send a birthday present, this is really supposed to be a fun little surprise. No obligation to do more than that. :)

Juststitchin Did you PM(private Message) saying you wanted to join, and have you received a PM from Barb saying you are in? If these things have happened you need not worry. And welcome to the Birthday Swap, it is so fun.

Juststitchin you did post you wanted to be added to the list but it was on 2018/2019 birthday swap. I hope you are in the swap. This is my first birthday swap.

This is a great swap, getting all the birthday packages in the mail is a fantastic feeling. It makes your birthday extra special.

juststitchen, send Barb a PM with all your information.
