    Hint: If you get packets done ahead of time, you can place them underneath some heavy books until needed, helping them to flatten out even more for your envelopes!

    Hint #3 Always, always, always put your screen name on the outside of your envelope so the birthday swapper will know who it is from with out opening the package. This makes reporting who has sent so much easier.

    WMUT as soon as we are back in Texas I am going to put my address label on the cards and add my screen name. Thanks for the great tip. It was the one thing I often forgot to do
