How is everyone doing on their project? Oh, and could everyone who hasn't sent their projects include their mailing address inside the box, much appreciated. :)

Mine are all a bit different but you decide who gets what! And which one to keep.

No worries. I'm gonna keep them the way you had them, I figured they were specific made for each other. :)

and thank you for the pm. :hangloose:

Here's a general question: Do members want to know either from wrangler or from individuals who receive (because sometimes projects are wrapped) if your/my project arrived damaged? I am not asking this in relation to any specific project but just in general for our projects on this thread. I would definitely like to know! I think people feel bad about offending or embarrassing someone to tell them that something broke or came off or whatever, but I feel the opposite: I'd like to know so that I know for the future what works in the mail and what doesn't. In other words, I find it helpful. It doesn't mean the person gets a new one- it's just for the sake of learning. Thoughts? I know this may be personal to each individual so that's why I was thinking those who might want to share their preference might enjoy doing so on this thread.

Yes I usually send $10 if what I'm sending is a little extra heavy.

That's a great idea Clay. Do you think I could do that if I'm sending something by priority mail? Just right hand cancel on it? Since I usually don't interact with a human being when mailing.

My ATCs are done, packaged, and ready to go in the mail tomorrow. I will confirm when I go to the post office and they are officially out, but that is the plan and I may not make it back to the thread right away.

What's the cheapest way to send packages? Postal tips, anyone?

I find unless something is inordinately heavy, first class is always cheapest. It's how I send almost all my boxes and large flat envelopes. I think unless something is heavy, the flat rate boxes usually end up being more expensive. But for heavier packages they are the way to go.

Yes, I would like to know.

Recipe project:

I bought the ingredients today to make sis's strawberry cake. I can't wait to try it. This will be the first one I have tried from our recipe project. There are several I'm excited to try, but the strawberries in the store today were so beautiful and _on_sale_!
