my local Post office has returned 2 of my letters, which were within weight and thickness limits. Said they were too stiff and uneven, so would not want them in the automated system. They did not have any gems or plastics, just several layers of glue. So hopefully your PO will be generous and they will be no problem when you mail them. Meanwhile i will put on 40c extra postage and mark please hand cancel.

How can I find the Shopify receipt for 5 brushes that were purchased on March 31st during Karen Elaines doodle demo on Facebook. The cost is 31.01. The delivery address is 738 12th St. Oakmont, PA 15139.
I also ordered a watercolor set which was paid for using PayPal. That order is on the way.
