Stick a fork in me...

...I'm done.

I got 16 packages of OWH cards today. Yes, 16.

Here's how it works:

• Slice open the box or envelope with a sharp Swiss Army knife.
• Search for the Packing Slip.
• Look for Hero mail, and put it in the Hero Box for later reading.
• Look for donations, and place them in the shipping envelope.
• Look through the cards and drool at the creativity.
• Make a note on the Packing slip of the goodness found in the package.
• Check to see if the cards have the OWH website stamped on the back. No stamp? Put those in the "No Stamp" box.
• Check dark cards for liners. Needs a liner? Put those in the "Liner" box.
• Check for cards that might need a little love. (adhesive, embellishment, etc.)
• Put the back flap of each card in an envelope, and fold the flap to the back. This is so the card and envelope can stay together forever.
• Sort the cards into the occasion boxes. (Birthday, Miss You, etc.)
• From the "Needs Help" boxes, stamp the backs, line the darks, and stuff cards into envelopes. Sort into the occasion boxes.
• Divvy the cards into flat rate USPS boxes.
• Email the sender that their cards arrived safe and sound.
• Complete a Thankful Thursday for every package.

Edit: Had a wonderful question about envelopes. If you tell me on the packing slip that all cards are marked with the OWH website, I am going to believe you and not look at the back of every card. Otherwise, I'm going to look at a few to see if it's there. To tuck the flap or not to tuck the flap? Your call.

I got everything done for all 16 packages EXCEPT the Thankful Thursday reports. I'll think about that tomorrow. (Sounds like Miss Scarlett.)

Anyway, I'm tired. It's 3:30 AM. I'm done for the day. I'll post pictures of the middle school letter writing event another time.
