Not a silly question at all. We were all newbies at one time and I am still a newbie. I reuse envelopes all the time, as do several other traders here. I have found that covering up the previous addresses (either blacking them out or covering with paper) and covering the front of the envelope with wide clear packing tape, allows the envelope to be reused several times because you can then pull off the old postage and address labels easily. A lot of people use tape to seal the envelope instead of the glue that is on them to make opening easier without tearing the envelope so that it can be reused again. To send a SASBE put your address label, return postage, and a list of what you are asking for in the bubble envelope. Be sure to include enough return postage. Then just send the bubble envelope. The person you are trading with will put your address label and the postage on the envelope and mail your seeds back to you. You will find that this place has the nicest, most helpful people in the world. They will be glad to answer any questions that you have or point you to the answer. Happy gardening!

If rooted in a small pot, soak it well, and wrap just the pot and the base of the stem with plastic wrap, Place in a tall, narrow box to help hold the pot and plant in place inside. Ship overnight if possible. Quite expensive, but if its THAT important, it shousd work well. Be sure to anchow the pot inside the box so it doesn't move around

All you have to do is copy the URL or http link - this is the one to this thread: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg1117425512088.html and if they copy/paste it into their address bar and hit enter it will open. Sometimes when places in emails, they become clickable, so all they have to do is click on the link. Have you looked at the Finished Kitchens Blog? Many GW members have their kitchens there. If it's not in the FKB, you can search the person's name to find a thread (maybe) that shows finished kitchen pictures. The kitchens forum is quite active and old threads roll off quickly. You could also try a google search of that person's name + "finished kitchen" and see if anything shows up. Use the + and "...." in order to define your search. Here is a link that might be useful: FKB - name list on right side of page
