Hi Kids!
I have good news and bad news ... and ... I really hate to ask.
Things at work are becoming a tad on the stretched side and all things considered are not bad. However ... as much as I would love to continue to send the leather without cost, right now .... I cannot.
So ... I have two options .... I can stop for the time being and in this case, I would be really unhappy ... OR ...
I can ask those that want leather to just reimburse me for the $9.85 that I pay directly online when I Click N Ship.
I have also discovered that I can do the USPS shipping (Click N Ship) through PayPal which makes it even easier and would insure that no additional monies come out of my checking.
Let me know what you guys want and all I can say is I am really sorry to do this. I am having so much fun sending it out as gift and hearing your reactions that it makes me sad to know that I am now attaching a cost to it.
Either way ... I understand completely if no one wants it for the time being as I am sure there are a few (or many) of you that are in tight finances as well.
As always Julie
If you guys still want leather ...
I have the following new people:
Raqy 10Thumbs Fossil
I have the following on the ongoing:
AgateMaggot RockDude StonesThatRock 58Vette MichaelJohn DSmith Kap
As always .... if I have missed anyone .... please PM me with your snail mails and emails for tracking

Julie, I just want to say thank you. I have watched your leather thread from time to time and can't imagine the number of boxes that you have sent out steadily as gifts. It was very mind boggling at times. lol.
The request for postage takes nothing away from the gift giving of leather that you still offer.

I was wondering how you could do this for so long, paying for shipping is very reasonable.
For now please take me off of the ongoing list and when I use up the current box of scraps I will let you know and pay for shipping to get the next one.
Once again thanks for the fine leather, Dean

Hi kids!!
I guess this is my first time in a rough time and I know things will get back to normal.
I want to thank everyone for being understanding about this as I would hate to hurt anyones feeling.
My humble thanks and gratitude!! Julie

Julie! We got our box today!! The kids are tickled to death-- Nick is working on a belt out of the looong black piece (he's buying a buckle for his palmroot cab), AJ is making a small pouch for his leatherman, and Cass is doing a satchel from the tan piece. They always know exactly what they want to do-- not me; I have to think a while.... Thankyou thankyou! Carrie & kids ;-)

Julie! I failed to notice this post for a while. I don't frequent the Members section very often. If you remember, I wanted to reimburse you for the shipping from the get-go. It made me feel guilty for you to provide free leather AND shipping costs to boot. I just sent you $10 via PayPal. Keep the change. ;D

Since I am having to pass on the postage (at this time) (which really has me bummed), I am gonna make up for it!!!
Anyone wanting a box of scraps, just pm me to let me know and send the $9.85 to PayPal.
BUT .... from here on out (this is gonna make me feel so much better!) I am going to include a small leather pouch of my choosing of goodies.
There have been so many here that have freely given to me ... I am going to freely give back to you guys ....
Mind you I am not as great as the others, but I get better every day and do not mind my friends here seeing my work as I progress.
We can make it even more interesting ...
Pick one color or pick a piece you have seen me post ... and I will do my best to include it as well as at least 2 of those pieces or pieces of specific coloring in the pouch.
Dam ..... I love it here!!!!
Julie

Julie, you are just too amazing. Seems the economy said no, no more and you said "oh , just watch me." If that isn't RTHism, nothing is. What a sweet thing for you to do!
