I made the mistake of going to the local post office yesterday with the plan of mailing my usual things to a number of people overseas and in the US and was promptly told that each envelope would cost me at least $20 EACH (!!!!). I normally tuck a handmade postcard in and apparently the 'new rules' state that anything besides a card has to go 'small packet air', hence the humungous price. I was in such shock that I neglected to ask if a letter that was more than one page would cost that price too. Canada Post is whining in their soup about how they are losing money hand over fist and yet they are pricing themselves totally out of contention. Not only that but the cost of regular postage is going up to $2 (within Canada) from the $1.44 where it is now. So if you're expecting to get a wee thing in the mail from me this year, it's not gonna happen and I'm sorry. My budget simply doesn't stretch that far.
- A handmade basket filled with goodies would make a really special gift and you can get the how-to HERE.
- THIS would be a cute wee gift or ornament for your own tree.
- THIS would make a really nice gift!
