PROCESS REMINDER OR INFOR FOR NEWBEES.

Hi there,
This is an important PROCESS reminder for old timers or 'newbees'. If you need GENERAL MAMA & WOOL WARRIOR TAGS, CONTACT ME HERE ON THE BLOG AND I WILL GET THEM TO YOU. We attach them to finished product.
We get the names of soldiers to support off of anysoldier.com - a most wonderful website. You can do that on your own or work through us; either way. We DO have some established soldiers that we support.
We send things off INDIVIDUALLY, using the FLAT RATE BOXES at the Post Office. They are free and substatially less in postage than regular boxes. You may also want to check out the prices on UPS. At the U.S. Post Office, the FLAT RATE BOXES are further REDUCED if you are using an APO address. For example, the largest FLAT RATE BOX that they have is $14.50 to mail off; it is $12.50 for an APO address. APO address means it is a military address. Once the box arrives at the APO or military address, the military takes it to the addressed destination.
We use only WOOL in our group and only CAMOUFLAGE COLORS. Wool is NOT flammable; acrylic is flammable. Some groups use it and are doing a great job in their efforts; we use wool. Usually, we buy our WOOL at either MICHAEL'S CRAFTS or JOANN'S CRAFTS. We use merino wool with colors approved by the military: dark olive, sesame, black, charcoal gray. We use PATON'S MERINO WOOL or we use only one brownish color by LIONSBRAND wool used for Aran Irish sweaters. Some people are going to neighborhood yarn shops and purchase merino wool there; some shops give discounts. Check it out.
We also send CARDS, LETTERS, DECORATIONS FOR HOLIDAYS. Believe me, the smallest item is gratefully accepted! We also send GOODY BOXES filled with snacks, foot powders, chapstick, etc. Check with me if you need further information on this. Thanks for your support.
