    I think it really does depend on the PO. I've taped mine before but only because of the design. Those flaps become wings and I'm afraid they will tear open during handling. The glue on the FR envelopes and boxes holds like nothing else! Wish I could have some of that glue other places!

    I have to ask about the large twister. Does it fit on the 10" square?
    Everybody have a great day!

    LOL... Hey as long as it gets here is what counts.., beauty doesn't matter to the po I guess.. LOL...

    I'm going to TRY to send mine tomorrow. This also may be my last swap for a while. To many things going on now, running for the kids, ball games, Dr apt for the kids, cooking, running back and forth for Jessie, went to the Dr yesterday with new Dr, we saw her xrays, it's a mess! The bone on top of her foot is split longways, and two other things I can't explain but means surgery soon now. So...I HATE to stop but...well we'll see. BUt tomorrow mine are out for sure.

    PLEASE make sure your husbands, sons, brothers, fathers, etc. get their colonoscopy exams.
