Iāve just been reading back - it did make me giggle! I can imagine that naughty step getting very crowded. I think Iāve been very good today (though others may disagree), so I shanāt be squeezing in or even claiming a cushion 
Itās a beautiful sunny day here today, and Iāve managed to photograph my latest bag.

@SashaGarrett my PO. ladies told me to put the CN22 label bottom left, and return address on the reverse. I always have done since, and touch wood, not had a problem. I post international tracked and signed.

Re:List as Theme of the Day is Bluebellsā¦
Lovely portrait Brenda @teabreaks
Interesting discovery Sasha @SashaGarrett The Royal Mail āClick & Dropā facility also prints the return address sidewaysā¦ must be why it does soā¦ I use a ātrackerā app called āParcelsā which gives very good & much more detailed tracking info (USPS included) than Royal Mailās app which is not detailed enough, especially when things go wrongā¦Royal Mail made it look like a parcel was sitting in USPSās international centre, San Fransisco for days! when I could see via āParcelsā that it was heading to Oregan & when an attempted delivery was unsuccessful, I could see it was in the Portland delivery office, not on Royal Mailās app tho! it still had it sitting in San Fransisco. ā¦I also post international tracked & signed.
Royal Mail took a month, after completing their form filling, to refund me for one of my Limited Edition Prints which they lost. But I did get the full price of the print refunded.

Another sale to report please Max @MaxPringJewellery ā¦ and this one was a bigger one so lots of happy dancing. However, it was a commission so may yet be returned if it doesnt match up to aspirations 
I have got a day off tomorrow with nothing planned but now have to decide whether to tackle the long list of jobs around the house or ignore them and indulge myself in a day of crafting to the exclusion of all else. Mind you the way I am feeling at the moment I could happily spend the day in bed and do neither ā¦ I am so tired!

Sounds like we might need a staircase rather than just the one stepā¦
Out for lunch with a couple of friends. A former colleague and friend set up a deli cafe a couple of years ago - a real career change from mental health nursing! so we went there. Lovely food and a great atmosphere there.
Congratulations on the sale of your first psychic portrait Brenda @teabreaks. Looking very positive for the future
I hadnāt realised that thereās a āproperā way of organising labels for USA. I put a large label on the front with the addresseeās name and address on then stick the CN22 and return address on the back. I always send with RM, and they are usually large envelope size, so I donāt know if that makes a difference, but Iāve never had a problem with them in spite of taking them to a variety of post offices.
Re-listing today

Yeah I always use int tracked and signed (where available, Canada has stopped doing it because of the backlog from last yearās strikes) and have been using USPSās tracking rather than royal mailās, I shall investigate the āparcelsā app for when I resend this one (with a sideways return address on the backā¦)
(saw your bluebells on the folksy socials, it was rather thrilling in a āI know her!!!ā sort of way)

Iām not sure there is a āproperā way, USPS says one thing, Royal mailās website says another and royal mail customer services says a third (and the evidence on this thread is weāve been doing many other versions as well). When youāre posting large letter size there is only so much space and a lot of stickers to go on!

When I post to the USA I usually put the CN22 label on the bottom right of the front of the parcel and my return address on the back. If I have a small parcel and not much space on the front, Iāve even put the CN22 label on the top or side of the parcel too. Iām not sure if Iāve just been lucky but they have all arrived with no problems. I havenāt posted to the USA since Christmas though, so Iām not sure if there are generally more problems at the moment.

Thanks Sue, @BeadstormJewellery I have done 4 this weekā¦sadly because Admin took so long replying to my request to list, the other three were from the dark side, but hopefully now Folksy can pick up steam with them x

We really are putting these stickers all over the place! I sent 2 at the same time, addressed the same way yet 1 of them (and only 1 of them) came back - maybe they (usps) are introducing new machines or something and one packet went through one address reader and the other went through a different one.

Evening!
2 sales to report please.
Ooh lots of interesting stuff about the packages to the USA - I need to re read them all as I am getting myself a bit confused. That really isnt difficult!!
@MaxPringJewellery - sadly my parcel to the USA is still a no show. Fortunately the lovely lady that ordered has been mega patient and has commissioned me to do two replacement pieces. Thats a bonus - as it was a Ā£200 order. Wow yours took along time too - sorry to hear that you had to refund. How frustrating.
Are you all off your naughty steps yets? 
So pleased to hear you can list your psychic portraits Brenda @teabreaks.

Iām very late again today. Another commission needed finishing this afternoon. Thatās done now and Iāve got time off from the day job until Wednesday, so Iām hoping for a slightly less manic few days. Pull me up a cushion at the naughty step! 
Reading all the US post troubles makes me very glad I took the decision to stay stress-free and only sell in the UK.
Iāve managed to write a listing for one of my new items (another reason Iām so late today). All loved and pinned.

Thank you - I spent a good while mulling over whether to cut the rough for economy or to say āheck with itā and cut to put the blue squiggle in the most pleasing orientation.
(enjoy St Ives, its been a while since I went to the cornish one but I do remember it being gorgeous and having lots of art galleries)
