have any of you mailed out the mini catelog yet and if so how much did it cost? Did you put it in an envelope or just stick a label on it? If so, where did you put the label? I was wanting to include something with it, some sort of note of excitement or something about the host special for September but I'm drawing a blank. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
I mailed out about 50 or so. I put them in a small brown envelope (purchased at the dollar store) and folded the flap down, so that the envelope was basically the same size as the catalogue. I also attached a post it note to the front of the catalogue and personalized it.
It was just light enough to go lettermail, so it was only one fifty-cent stamp. :)
