oh the postage amount issue. just a mini suggestion, since you participate in several swaps i would buy a postage scale to help with monitoring how much postage your envelopes will cost. i got mine from ebay for around $15.00. it is worth its weight in perhaps silver.
i weigh my envelopes and packages, check for postage amounts on usps.com, stamp my envelopes or print out postage labels for my packages. it is all quite convenient. i use to collect stamps (who knows why) so i found i had a lot of $0.32 stamps around so i started using them up plus i occasionally buy stamps when i go to the po.
overall stay calm and cool as swapping is suppose to be fun not stressful.
