Yesterday I said there would be orphans - but when I opened the post, I saw that I had not covered up the return addresses on the photo and they were both from someone who only exchanged twice - and then I couldn't find the images to cover up the return address - so I'll have to post something different.
Remember when I told Patty I would work on the problem of using up dark envelopes and finding a way to have the address on a white address label? Well, here are two attempts. Neither of them are successful, but we are going to keep trying. I buy the full sheets of label paper that you can cut into any size you like.

I thought using my scissors that make a postage stamp edge might work. The biggest problem is that the sticker paper is very temperamental. Most of the permanent markers smear - so I am stuck with Sharpies. If I could make a yellow background, they might look better with that stamp - but that is too complicated. The tiny writing on Valerie's says that I deeply regret the lack of space between the sticker and her name. I should have done her address in one straight line.
Then on the Zeleznik's, I stacked the name and thought the sticker might work - but there was too much empty space so I added the last name - and turned it into a hodgepodge.
On both of them, the proportion of the address label is egregious.
What to try next? Maybe I can find some more friendly sticker paper. That would be ideal. I'm also wishing I could print out the address labels. But then I'd have to find the right font and that might be impossible.
I should also try something that is less regimented - and you know what that means? --- not rectangles. And you know who is begging for non-rectangle address labels? Those round stamps. That's who.....and those stamps should be wonderful on dark envelopes......

The most beautiful invention of all time.
Warning: there is some math involved.
