[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT Help please

[minh ha]

I've been shipping a lot of packages for my business and I use USPS
flat rate priority. You can go to the post office and pick up free
envelopes/boxes that already say priority on them, and all you have to
do is print your own shipping labels at home and affix them to the
front of the package. I bought half page shipping labels on Amazon and
it's easy to align your address and the delivery address with word and
print them out.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
