    thank you Quiltermomma. For some reason I had totally forgotten about it until my best friend reminded me at dinner on Sunday. I try to forget them...LOL...I don't even remember how old I am.

    I sent out a lot of blocks going home... If you get a block with a postage stamp and a metered stamp, this is what I have to deal with all the time! The young man at the post office today tried shoving the envelopes through the little slot at an angle... needless to say I had to pay extra for all but 2 of them!

    maybe I will just deliver them on Monday mornings when the girl who is very sweet is working!

    I hate giving up and letting them win, but I am tired of fighting them and might just do swaps where hostess exchanges blocks, and I get them all at the same time! Frustrating for sure!

    Instead of using the microsoft mail merge, I go to www.avery.com and do it online. Select "design and print online" and then choose labels. Just put in the template number for your labels (it should be somewhere on your package) and search that number. It will bring up lots of different styles of labels you can use. On mine, I used one that let me upload a graphic. I chose a quilt block and was very pleased with the way it printed. It asks if you want to do a mail merge and then asks for the file name. You then move over the fields that you want. Even though it only showed 3 lines, since I wanted to include the board name and group (which I added on my spreadsheet), I just put in spaces after the name until it went to the next line. I then added the graphic and printed them. Very easy. I also did a sheet with my own name, board name, address, & state with a different graphic. Again, super easy to do. Hope this helps if you don't here from anyone else.
