Mosher92 - I received an envelope today with two blocks in it. One is my Winter block (thanks!), but I don't think the second block is mine. I'm not sure. I sent out a bunch of different autumn-colored fabrics for the Autumn group, but I don't recall sending any of the fabrics in the block.

The blue floral fabric is some that Shaysmema sent, though. Is it possible this is her block? I've attached a photo of it below.

Has anyone else run into this problem? I'll put the pictures on photobucket if you want to peak.

Yes but it was $1.95 per envelope, then I went to another for others and it was 90 and 95 cent, then next day back to first po and another person charged me 65 cents. I reported this to higher to see why all postal offices are not using the same guide lines and why one has to different prices depending on who's working. no wonder they are closing so many post offices. They are trying to shut down delivery in my area and make it where everyone must have a po box.

I have had the issue I have 3 PO in a 5 min radius so one of the post offices said the best way to send them is use greeting card envelopes because you don't need to fold them as small so they slide thru the slot and the thickness makes the difference. If there are lots of seams or I do embroidery that also makes them thicker or if you don't cut the ziplock part off the Baggie hope that helps. And it was 20 cents extra for hand canceling them which I always do.

Sometimes I think the post office is losing their marbles!

A couple of days ago I had some envelopes that arrived with postage due. The mail lady rang the doorbell. It came to $.84 total. DH gave her $.85 to cover it, "don't worry about the penny". All taken care of, right?

Well, today I put my mortgage payment and a check for some stamps in the mailbox. (We can buy stamps through our mail carrier here.)

DH got the mail this evening and found:
  • 3 new squishies - yay! :thumbup:
  • The mortgage payment - still in the mailbox! :mad:
  • The $9.00 check for 20 stamps had been picked up, but no stamps were left. Hope she brings them tomorrow. :eek:
  • An envelope with a receipt for the $.84 postage due from two days ago, along with 5 pennies that I guess was supposed to be our change. I guess $.85 minus $.84 equals $.05 now.


And they wonder why they're losing money? ;)
