SusanJust wanted you to know about postage. I have worked for USPS and Pampered Chef for 8 years! You can mail show packets out under Book Rate. But depending where they are being mailed to, it may be just as cheap to send Priority Mail. Sometimes it is $1 different. And I have always felt that when the host is getting a "Priority Mail" from me will make her/him feel that she/he is a priority to me!!! Book rate will not give them that feeling. Besides postage is tax deductible for our business.

You can order envelopes thru PC for the Season's Best and they can be mailed for around 87 cents.

Ask your postal carrier for 'stamps by mail' envelopes and you will not have to run to the post office!!! And another hint, if you treat your carrier good, they may just take that package for you!!! You can also go online at www.usps.com and request a pick up.
