Oh the postal service. you think you know how to mail something until you mail 200. and have, so I am told, a woefully inaccurate scale. and an "improper" mailing address labels. and "Canada" needs to be on it's own line. always. the things you learn at the post office.
but fear not, mailorder club members, all is taken care of and shipped out. I had to deface some of the mailing labels (I'd like to think this adds a handmade "charm") and was horrified to notice that I neglected to sign the master copy of the "letter from the mailorder secretary" but aside from these minor snafus, we are good to go. I had chocolate and teddy grams for the girls, and they handled the post office better than I did. 
coffee, raspberry linzer torte, and two amazingly generous helpers (an eggplant and a posie) were all invaluable last night, so thank you very much.
There are many of you who did something weird on paypal and these issues (very funny and really not a pain for me, I promise) should be all taken care of now. so, if you know you did something strange and haven't heard from me, do e-mail me.
