I was able to address and mail my beautiful handmade cards. Felt so good to get them out. I experimented with having my printer address the envelopes. I think that saved a little time. I did find that since I put each card in a blank envelope as the year went on I did have to remove them. So, note to self... make sure I have envelopes don't put cards in them. I got everything stamped and mailed Monday.
There is a 20 cent charge for envelopes over 1/4 inch thick, because they can't be run through the machines. I didn't want to take a chance and paid it for a few of the thicker cards. The postal person tried to guilt me a little for hand making thick cards. I told her I knew they cost more and that they were just so darn cute with ribbon and buttons on them. She smiled and said, "I know. Homemade cards are the best." I guess she knew I couldn't be guilted.
Big Holiday Hugs to everyone, Lynne
