    The Winter granny square swap.

    Like I said I worked for the PO so I knew what was what. Even if the postage had gone up I still paid a few cents to mail them back it was not a big deal to me. I have plenty of change on my dresser. I just figured if it wasn't more than $1 I'd pay the extra. The PO can be a real pain...

    The Winter granny square swap.

    I need to share something. There was a package with prepurchased postage. I took it to the po and the woman said it was no good as it had been purchase to long ago. I said I had no idea it could expire. Keep in mind I used to work for the PO. I said well they paid for it, why would it...

    No and I am sorry. I have been going through heck here. My car was in the shop and has to go back. I'm mad as you know what. More I won't burden you with. It never rains but it pours. I did put in a jar of jelly I made to appease you. It's been ready to go. Tomorrow I promise...

    The Winter granny square swap.

    OMG! I am so sorry. If you remember how squares weren't tagged and things kind of got mix up. I was taking from this box to put in that box so everyone got the right number. I was afraid that would happen. I was worried when I volunteered to host I'd get things screwed up and I did...

    You should have your squares soon they have been mailed. There is a tracking # but I can't find the receipt. My office is a mess. I really need to clean and organize. I'm sure there is a lot to be tossed or shredded.

    The Winter granny square swap.

    I haven't done anything with the squares I've gotten so far. I have plenty of afghans, but I was thinking. I got a pamphlet for the Central NY Cat Coalition and they have a sale to raise money. Last year they worked and neutered and spayed nearly 2,000 cats. Anyhow I thought perhaps to put...

    Now I do have plenty of roos. Though I'm not sure the PO could get him there overnight. The last three shipments I got were late. I've got some nice Birchen Marans.

    You need to get an incubator. I'd be happy to send eggs , just for the fun of it and see how things turn out.

    Well it's nice to know I'm not the only one on this thread hatching. My biggest concern is my Birchen Marans. They don't seem to hatch well. I've tried a dry hatch this time round but it didn't help. It was worse all the way around. I started my new job yesterday and I won't bother you all...

    I did notice that in one box the postage wasn't for priority either, so I had to tear off all the priority stickers and tape. The return postage is for "parcel post". $6.53 I most likely didn't notice that with yours. I am sorry. You are right about using parcel post as being cheaper...

    The Winter granny square swap.

    How can that be? I mailed everyone the box their squares came in. I left all the labels on and just reused the boxes. I do know I have another box here that has $6.95 in postage priority which I swear is not enough, but we shall see. I taped everyone's envelope with the postage to each box...

    I personally don't mind squares not in bags, but thought it was understood from the first swap I participated in. I'm a guy you have to make allowances. I just thought it would be nice for the recipients to know who made what. As for postage it is not big deal unless it's short dollars...

    The Winter granny square swap.

    I believe yours were mailed today. While I tried to make sure everyone got one or more of everyone else it was hard without each being tagged. I do apologize. Bags are rather cheap if you can find a Dollar store. The 6" squares fit nice in the sandwich sized bags. Still it was fun and...

    The Winter granny square swap.

    Well I went to the PO and mailed some boxes today. Some postages went up and I made up the dif if it was not much. One had to be sent with extra postage due. I didn't want to argue with the clerk and I am sorry for having to do that but it's the end of the month and money is tight. If you...

    The Winter granny square swap.

    Some were some weren't. It just helps the recipient know who did what. I just packed them back in the boxes they came in and will print out labels to send them back. I tried to ensure no one got theirs back. I'm not real good at sorting things out. I had everything sorted and then in...

    That is very nice, where did you get the pattern? Square are going out tomorrow. Feeling better. Been just dragging to let the chickens out and then going back to bed. Just got up and made coffee. DW can't believe I've been sleeping in, I'm usually up when she gets up for work. I've even...

    I for one am glad you're here. There is a flower swap going on though I haven't joined. You will enjoy it I'm sure. The only guy here, Rancher Hicks.

    Well you must get a few hens. Even three hens together do well. Squares are sorted as best I can. Some folks didn't individually bag and label their squares. Plus some did one set others two. Everyone will surely get more than they sent as I've done more than a few extras. You all...

    Hi folks things have been crazy here. Everyone not feeling well. DW and DD both calling in sick to work. Fortunately I don't have a job, with the exception of my volunteer job and I've called in for that too. Chicks hatching so I have to keep moving just the same. At least to do the things...
