Update on Birthday Cards

Cards were mailed out from Arizona on Monday. You should be receiving them sometime this week.

Taina and I learned a few things from this first swap that we want to share with you:

1. Please make sure to send an envelope that is at least 6 inches wide. We had problems getting the wider square shaped cards in those smaller 5x7 envelopes.
2. Apparently, postage went up last week, so when Taina mailed them she had to spend $.70 getting them all up to cost. So just be aware of that for next time. It might not be a bad idea to round your postage up that way you know for sure it will get back to you okay.
3. Also, if you post your envelopes on your own at the post office at those self-help counters, it won't work to mail it back to you. Since they date your postage, it has to be mailed within a few days. However, if you actually go to the counter and they stamp your postage, that is fine.
4. It was great fun and we can't wait for July!

Here's one more card to share, too.
