I go to one of my many dollar stores for bags. Cheaper in price but the same quality as what you purchase at the PO.

Oh, and I buy several at a time. Amazing how often I can use them for mailing a gift.

I have a USPS rant: I sent my customer a package in early November. She received it 2 days ago! USPS gave me such a hard time (as they always do) to file a claim or look for it. They clearly saw that a label was created.
I don't like them
My customer was extremely gracious about the whole thing.

We've been going to the gym several times a week so we're headed there today and then hopefully some sewing time for me.

Good afternoon Ladies, It is warming up here in western PA, going to get up to 28 degrees. It is still to cold to go or do anything outside. Good day to stay in the sewing room. I have a cushion to recover, bowl cozies and hanging towels to make. I do need to drop some stuff off at our local thrift store and then see what I can find to replace it. LOL. I can never go and not bring something home, one person's junk is my treasure.

In the process of cleaning up my sewing room from holiday sewing, i sat down and made block # 20 for my Halloween fabrics for this boom.

I am also already picking patterns for your fabrics, of course waiting to see how it looks when it comes in.

When I look back, I can see I participated as far back as BOOM8 2013 and possibly further. Time flies, I did not realize that I had been in BOOM swaps that far back if not further.

Thank you SusieQOH. I love your kitty in the picture. What is her/his name? For some reason I thought you might like these kitty blocks. Both my husband and I love cats.

I am eagerly checking if people are posting their fabric choices. So far, the fabrics and themes look like fun.

When you drop your package off at the USPS, be sure to watch it scanned and get a receipt, even if you’re using a prepaid envelope. It’s proof you’ve given it to them. My local PO is terrific. I make labels for all your packages myself and they don’t hesitate to scan and give me a receipt.

Been a bit under the weather the last couple of days and I'm just getting around to adding your fabric pix and block pix. I'll try to do it every morning from here on out.

(pix pulled to here)

Forgot to tell you I opened the Boom 33 Gallery. We have a few pix of blocks in there already.
