I used to mail odd items unwrapped just for fun. Had a friend that did the same. The only piece that didn't make it through the mail was a slice of tree bark. The smallest thing I sent was a piece of paper the size of an address label. It was an address label and it got through fine.
I love the idea of using food bags for pooh. Thanks for that.

This idea ROCKS !!! What a great way to 1)get rid of that smell, 2) get rid of the crumbs and 3) have a clean envelope for mailing....

I would think it would stand up to the abuse of the USPS.

Never thought of that. I do use them for trash bags in the breezeway where we store the dogs food. But it I save one more thing for recycling my DD will throw me out. I had to get rid of a bunch of stuff I was saving for IF I ever get around to dyeing fabric.
Smell-- wash and febreeze or wash with vinegar?

I am new to posting here but I also saw the pattern for the dog food bag tote. You do have to turn the bag inside out and wash/dry before using. Don't know if I can include a link but here it is (if it goes through). We dog people would probably like this!!!
