Square Swap (For Crochet/Knitting)

christie · 04-10-2010, 11:04 AM

So, after the new bed delivery this morning, I was out the door to the post office, squares ready to be packed in jiffy bags and posted.

Trip to wally world to pick up jiffy bags. Sat in the car for 20 mins stuffing the squares into the bags (I got too small a size, I think) and addressing them.

Stop at the post office, bag full of stuffed envelopes, a digital cable box ready to be mailed back to Comcast (of the devil, I tell ya) and my mother's 75th bday afghan (twin bed spread size). I struggle to the door under my various postal packages and low and behold... they are CLOSED!!!

They are all in the car and I will post them from Richmond on Monday.

Awww Christie, that kinda thing happens to me too.

My local grocery store has a scale and sells postage, so that's where I'll be taking the envelopes this coming week.

Ami, I'll be on the watch for the box.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Ami}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} The driftwood is MARVELOUS!! Thank you so very very much!!

The twisty stick is mine; I claimed it.

Gryph can have the other one though, if he would like.... but the twisty stick? Mine! Mine! Mine! <insert seagull smiley here, lol>

Keeping track: I have received swapghan and raffleghan squares from Ami and from Christie.

I have managed to address envelopes to go out to y'all... no squares inside those envelopes yet, though, lol...

Mine went into the mail system today. Here's praying that USPS has a clue. Being in the mail business, I am not that hopeful! LOL
