Dear SS, I received my SS package yesterday. Thank you soooooooo much!!! Let me tell everybody what I got. - First, my package was neatly packaged and when I opened it, a bunch of tiny red confetti hearts flew everywhere. It was great!!! - My SS sent me an adorable card with the cutest scarecrow on the front. the scarecrow is holding a sunflower and a birdhouse. - A pin with a woman sitting drooped over a chair with the words "So many stamps so little time!" Ain't it the truth!!!!! - A purple pad magic ink pad - A glue marker (I wasted no time. I already used this last night. These glue markers are very handy for applying flocking and glitter.) "So many glue markers so little time!" - I don't know how my SS knew this, but LePlume II's are my favorite. My SS sent me a gray #12 and a misty rose #63. Yeah!! - A package of multicolor confetti. Hmmmm . . . this may be fun to use on my SS for next month. - A package of rainbow colored star stickers. Big delimma. Do I share with my daughter or not. Not! - A package of Raindrops on Roses' Note Cards Country Rainbow Sampler. I have seen these a hundred times in the store. I never got them because wanted to use my $$ on more stamps. Now I have them. Yippee!! - Sterling silver embossing powder. Can't wait to try it out. and last but not least . . . - An adorable little bunny stamp. It's so cute. It's a little bunny holding onto a big heart. Thanks again to my wonderful SS!! PS: Now on the dim side . . . I don't know if this message will make it to you. My Netscape has blown up. I cannot download any messages. I'm taking the optimistic approach and assuming that I can still send messages though. I'm so angry. I've already lost over 700 messages that I downloaded the other night before I got an "integer divide by 0" error. I tried reinstalling the software but it's still not working. Perhaps the problem is on my providers server. I'm going to call them as soon as they open. When I finally get logged on and download my mail, I'll check to see if this message is on the list. If not, I'll resend it. Yikkes!! Booo Hoooo! ------------------------------ From: "Danielle M.-C.

The weight limit is anything under a pound. I put a box in the week before New Year's -- my Christmas gift to another stamp-lovin' pen pal... And the very next day it was returned with a little sticker on it! I was soo mad I coulda gone in there and throttled everybody. When I went in to drop it off, they weighed it and said that the postage was fine. I could have screamed, and of course it was late. Ok, I'm done venting. : ) I love the PO except for that little incident...
