many of us use sandwich baggies to put our individual sets in. some of us use the clear plastic jewelry bags from craft stores to put our sets in. either way is fine. i have found that around $3.30-$3.60 is a good estimate for the sase return postage. i have taken my sase with baggies to the post office before to have them weighed and that is about near what the postage is. i am trying to include just a bit more over what the usps estimate is to account for the different size baggies used and the weight of the various fabrics. i hope this answers your questions.
cmon and join us. you know you want to.

BTW, Honchey, 30 is the maximum number to swap, but if you want you can do less. This is the first swap where the number was increased to 30. Prior swaps had a maximum of 20. I think Mariposa is a glutton for punishment, that's why she upped the ante.
Come join us!

Think I'm getting jealous.. I have no way to get to the P.O., as I am in the office when the P.O is open. I'm relying on my 84 y.o mom to help.. There is one near the gym that she goes to, but it's been too hot to keep stopping..

can't you do a mail drop at work? i use to take my personal mail to the mailroom to have it mailed out when at work or perhaps you can have it go out with work's mail when the postal carrier shows up for the day. also if you p.o. has boxes outside the bldg. you can drop your mail in after hours. it will get in the system. no need to task your dear old mom.

Sorry you are having trouble, barri1. It will be worth it, though!
Besides being jealous, I'm also getting grump with the US Postal authority. Mom came home with three envelopes that were not priority, and were $2.19 per.. I also needed stamp.. I have to go in after work tomorrow.. They said they didn't have any. I find it hard to believe..
