Nope. Whoever wins should have a surprise at the end of the month. I think the winner should post a picture of them all after receiving! Or maybe BRT before sending, in case the winner doesn't have a digital?

Yay!! Thank you!
I spent a long time talking to the post office about this....you have to make it flat and even...if it is uneven it becomes a parcel, not an envelope....also if it is more than 1/4 of an inch deep it becomes a "large envelope" not just an envelope...so that changes postage. If you can get it to be FLAT and thin a stamp will work...otherwise it has to be stamped "unmachinable" which is 64 cents, if it is uneven it becomes a parcel and is normally $1.39. Phew! Did I confuse everyone? lol.

Oh... What the best/easiest way to send individual blocks? I'd assume a regular envelope and stamp is fine?

Hmm... it's about a half inch, but even. Should be fine if I throw two stamps on it, right?
Our mail gets picked up in about two hours, and I don't have a chance to actually go TO the post office today (like I thought I would), so I have time... I just want to make sure it doesn't end up being an issue and not getting to you for some reason!
