Yes! Do be sure to follow along new people!
We love hints and pix if you can. Makes it so much fun.
I am getting ready.
Decisions decisions!
Shall I use a squishy?

You really can pack an awful lot into them if you are careful for "only" $4.95!
I once was able to squeeze a tremendous amount of fabric into one by using my Food Saver! It was like a fabric brick.

No, silly! I didn't send my pal a fish.
Or should I use a medium flat rate box?

More costly to ship, but I can can more into it.
Especially if I have to use bubble wrap for some of it ...

Always fun to pop. If you're not saving it.
Oooooh! I wonder if my pal will
(a) Love bubble wrap
(b) Like homemade creations
? ? ? ?
Maybe I'll make her a new bubble wrap pin cushion!

If only I had some lavender bubble wrap.
And don't get me started on how much tape to use!
Now that the post office doesn't give away that colorful priority tape I have to buy rolls of clear tape from Staples.
I wonder how many inches I will have to use.
No worries. I'll measure and will let you know.

Using clear tape is OK because the priority tape is no good for putting on labels. Tends to block the address right out.
Sometimes the heat gets to you.
