MissPaula 04/ 8/2013 #

Are you talking about Manila folders?

lafwim 04/ 8/2013 #

@Fabricfriend sounds great! @MissPaula yes, about that size, doesn't have to be exact! @Chocosamurai Manila folder work, and also those kind with pockets that are always sold with school supplies

Let me know if you have any more questions!

@naanett Cool! Just make sure it's at least 8"x10".

KristinCali 04/ 8/2013 #

Sounds awesome! Would you consider making a US version?

cricketsarge 04/ 8/2013 #

Yes, a US version....oversized envelopes are really expensive international send, otherwise I would join :(

lafwim 04/ 8/2013 #

@KristinCali and @cricketsarge Yes, I will set one up this evening and post the link in the description above!

Is the folder going to be our envelope?

lafwim 04/ 8/2013 #

@Jess79 That's a great idea, too!
