"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Comment by Svenja Wahl on August 14, 2012 at 6:31pm: Supergreatmegabuttons arrived here today, thanks a lot Stephanie, how much work!! That's too kind of you!

Comment by Lynn Radford on August 14, 2012 at 2:09pm: Very Cool, Erni! Stephanie went all out for you! Love those art charms!

Comment by Sarah Churchill on August 14, 2012 at 1:48pm: Oooh, 'art charms' look very cool!

Comment by Lynn Radford on August 14, 2012 at 11:45am: So sad to hear that there's been so much trouble with the mailing of the buttons...

Comment by Sarah Churchill on August 13, 2012 at 9:54pm: Sounds to me like someone's just taking their job a little too seriously! I've sent some teeny-tiny envelopes in the past, and the worst that's ever happened was that one was put inside a larger envelope by the post office before delivery. I'd probably trial a couple before un-peeling stamps, or paste them to larger boards as others have suggested. Such a pain! :(

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on August 13, 2012 at 8:36pm: Hey, you should try putting a few of these in a box and see if they get through...? %_^

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on August 13, 2012 at 8:35pm: That frigging sucks! You must have met a particularly unpleasant post person, or one who was new & didn't know. Look at the dimension rules on the USPS site. Non-regular sizes can post, they just cannot be machined. Next time ask for a supervisor to be sure, or just drop them all in a mailbox so you don't have to deal w/ anyone.... [btw, you can address anyway you want, you just have to pay additional non-machinable postage charge [.65 instead of .45] Aaanyway, very sorry about that indeed Steph! I like Nancy's idea re the uncancelled stamps.
