Batiks are great, I try to include the batiks with my candy's that I send. I'm doing my candies different this year. In the past, I filled how many birthday cards the same and kept one for myself. This year I am filling 10 or 12 at a time. That should allow me to send different fabrics.
I'm sorry to hear about such cold temps. When we got up this morning it was 6 degrees, but thankfully the house was warm.

PamelaOry- little surprises have been known to show up; sometimes in the form of a special fussy-cut charm, lovely greetings or whatnot. Since the group uses lots of fabric and postage, it is at a minimum.

What is the average postage? I’m used to the 7, now 8 dollar flat rate envelopes but assumed these would be much smaller to send and would cost less as a result.

Pamela- You bet postage is less than $7 or $8! In this swap on the 20th of each month, for 12 months, you will get a message from BarbK with the birth dates and names and addresses for the upcoming month. Then, as shown on the picture above, you will prepare a birthday greeting with candies for each birthday celebrant individually. The postage on these will vary from $0.70 cents to $2.55, depending on the weight and size of the envelope. Thicker envelopes are treated as a first class package. Since there are 30+ birthdays, many in the group have perfected the technique to get the thinnest, lightest envelope for mailing.
