Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: I receive many personal return-address mailing labels from organizations as solicitations for donations. Through time, I’ve found many great uses for them, which I thought you’d like to share:

“I use them anytime I am asked to fill in my name and address.

“I put them in my books and videos. I also put them on dishes, covers and utensils that I bring to friends’ houses.

“I enclose them when I send letters to friends so they don’t have to write out my address when they send mail to me. I reserve the ones with large type for this to make it easier for the Postal Service. (The U.S. Postal Service asks that the font or type size be between 8 point and 18 point and not italic, stylized or bold font. – Heloise)
