Somebody help me! I thought I'd send our shameless beggar in the Netherlands a few - maybe a dozen - squares for her hexagon creation. How can something so very simple become such an excruciating hurdle? I went to the US postage calculator. First, they wanted to know which Netherlands. @#$! I don't know. Just The Netherlands, okay? Then they wanted to know which of 4 or 5 ways I wanted to send it . . . ( $ 37.20 was an option but I don't think so) and did I want to print out customs forms and did I have the right kind of global envelope for some sort of special air mail? No. I don't want customs forms. I don't want to go into a grand production of learning how to ship live reptiles worldwide. I just want to put 2 ounces of cotton squares in a plain envelope and put stamps on it. Oh ye who deal with this stuff calmly, please tell me how many stamps to put on this simple envelope.
