Because of snow our meeting was cancelled this month, but next month on the 26th at 1:00 p.m. we will try again. This time it will be at a new location that is more central for people, hopefully. One of the things I wanted to discuss at this months meeting was how to make a reusable envelope for postals. Good news everyone I posted step by step instruction on just that.

Holy Cow it's SNOWING! In Portland?
That white blotch in front of the car is an extreme close up
of a snow flake. |
 |
| What you will need is a standard size bubble mailer. |
 |
Some packing tape,a pair of scissors,
and the address of the person you are sending the postal to. |
 |
| First add your address and your return address to the envelope. |
 |
Second start engulfing the entire envelope with see through
packing tape. |
 |
| Tape all around the front... |
 |
| and the back until it is all wrapped up. |
 |
Then cut out and fold your senders address, this is so you can
send out a quisp if you want to this makes a nice little pocket |
 |
| Now add tape. |
 |
For the upper left corner of the senders address label you want
to make a tab with the tape like this, this is for an easy way for
the person to remove the address label so they can add their own
for the next person. |
 |
As you can see the tab in the left corner of the senders address
label. |
 |
| Remember the pocket here is a quisp along for the ride. |
 |
| Now add the letter box. |
 |
| Do not I repeat Do Not Remove this adhesive strip. |
 |
You need to create your own adhesive strip by rolling up a piece of
packing tape. |
 |
| And here it is the new adhesive strip you made. |
 |
| Seal it up. |
 |
| Add more tape to close it. |
 |
| It's closed, sealed, and ready to be mailed. |
 |
| Remember that tab here it is in action. |
 |
If your reusable envelope is done right the envelope will not
tear, but the address label might. That's okay. |
 |
The label is off and the envelope is fine. That's it. I would like to
thank Moose On The Loose from Ashburnham Massachusetts
for introducing me to the wonderful world of postals,
she took the time to show me how it's done. |
