Glad you are safe and be careful driving home.

Lol -- seems like it. I hear the interstate is now open to get back to Louisiana. At least I don't feel so trapped now, but it will be good to get back home

I received a lovely package from Bullock2us, (Ginger), today. It had magazines, fabric, redwork for me to try my hand at, thread, some hand made kitchen items, scrubbie, dishcloth, handtowel I can put on my oven door, pins which I always forget to put down and in need of, charm pack, all tucked in an Idaho potato bag, how cute! Thanks so much for all these wonderful goodies you sent me. Love them all!

Both have to be ordered on-line as they are not available from local postoffices.

Thank you Belfrybat. Have an order in now for 10 boxes. That *should* be enough to last the rest of the year!

You are welcome. I forgot to mention that you also have to do the Regional postage on-line if you haven't already been doing so.

I guess this sounds dumb but what is the regional postage online?

Use the "mail and ship" tab and "print and ship" just like you normally do when shipping flat rate. After you put in the address and such, do not choose "flat rate" option -- put in the weight (which you can estimate). The regional rate will be shown along with other rates.

Thank You Belfrybat! I will do this with the next SP box I send.

I am hoping that I can join the April swap. That is providing I
can remember to sign up BEFORE the close.

Has the April sign up started yesterday? I haven't seen it anywhere.
