Great way to make a braid. Can't wait till my birthday for the template.

Amelia (10) and I made pillowcases yesterday. Today we are going to a quilt shop to make them for Motts Children's Hospital.
I am Amelia's nanny (for 10 years)

Default mailing your envelopes

This is how I send my sweet candy squares. They are layered in 5 rows with 10 in each row. I put them on a card stock type paper and put them in an envelope (size Christmas pictures come in). I do wrap them in saran wrap. This way only cost me 1 stamp.
Barb
It is the "fatness" of envelope where the biggest concern is. They do not weigh too much.

Hello everyone
I sent a PM tonight to everyone with March birthday babies. IF YOU DID NOT receive a this please let me know right away.

Please send your 50 unique squares to the birthday person in time for their birthday.

Also it would be great to hear from everyone at least 1 time a month just so I know you are still around and participating in the swap. So please post a hello from time to time.
