I did eventually get to a place I was happy with.

I mailed mine today. I had a scary experience at the post office. I put my priority mail envelope in the big "Jaws of Life" metal package holder/door, and then I did the thing where you open it back up to make sure it has gone through- and instead of having gone through, it had slipped between a very thin opening between the metal sides of the bin- such that it was trapped, half-way in and half-way out. It was tightly half way in / half way out, and I had to rip the envelope and LUCKILY I was able to get all of the Zentangles out- BARELY! I also was able to get the purchase sticker to redo! I went and told the post office employees, but of course they didn't apologize or seem to care. There was something broken that made that space where the envelope got caught and wedged in. It was so scary when I realized I couldn't pull it out! But... all's well that ends well. Still... that was a first, and hopefully a last. A worst fear coming true!

Well, I rambled but I'm sure as my fellow pen friends, you get it.

That's crazy!!! Totally understand the fear and dread you must have felt. Thank Goddess you were able to rescue the zentangles!
