very important business

Very important business has been happening around here. These are all the items you can get with your mailorder funny money. . .I realize that the coupon needed to purchase all these goodies is only available with mailorder issue #3. So, if you have funny money from issue #1 or #2 that you want to spend, let me know and/or mail it in to me and I can happily choose an item to send back. These are the Stick Puppets (sticks not included)

the Paper Food. . .

and 2 Very Good Recipes and the Mailorder Stickers. I also have Bad Poetry ($1.10) which it's my favorite item so far. It's titled, The Unicorn of Pain, and there is a very short play, which I think is $2.25, but the price-list isn't in front of me. .

Receiving the mailorder funny money carefully cut out (with a S.A.S.E.) with the coupon has been thrilling. I think I really must be a 12 year old. This has been my surprise favorite activity in this whole mailorder craziness. . .

okay-I am taking a break this summer and then mailorder will be available again, subscription only,4 issues a year, in early fall, so we can all rest for a bit this summer. I will, no doubt, yack about it more, so you won't miss any details-but just know it will all start up again after August (and again, signing up on the mail list over on kingpod is the best way to get all the details when they come out of my brain)

On an even more important note, we are berry picking tomorrow and I hope for another raspberry buckle!

I read about the funny money catalog in my Issue #3, but as I had not gotten issue #1 or #2 and had no money to buy stuff with, I was a tad bit bummed :( I also didn't have a chart to glue my completed project sticker onto.

I received my stickers and recipes and I love them!
I may make some crazy yummy cookies for the holiday weekend. Also-- looking at the merit badge chart, there are spaces for may, july, and august. Will these spaces remain empty? Or will we have special "extra credit" to complete?

oh-the merit badges will kepp coming, so you can just add them as they come and ignore the months associated with them-

and robyn! so sorry you are bummed!! i know that some of the stuff only works if you have all the issues, but I have always tried to make it "extra" and that what you DO get is still worth the money to you-hope it is! and hopefully goig subscription only will help with this in the future. . .I want happy mailorder members!
