Other newbie questions :)

I have projects that I have designated as Christmas presents. Most are
regular, simple (i.e., no beads, bells or whistles) projects suitable
for framing (and I will frame them even though I will be nervous about
whether they will make it through the shipping/mailing process with
intact glass.) I plan on using Aida cloth and DMC floss for the most
part.

I sent a glassed, framed project to England from Missouri and it
arrived just fine. Now, granted, it was wrapped in bubble wrap and also
packed in a box with three Moshi pillows! But so far, with suitable
packaging care, none of the "care" packages my English pal and I send
back and forth have arrived damaged. Also, something I've been doing
for the next framed project that needs to be mailed, is saving the
packaging that comes with books from Amazon or Barnes & Noble. I think
with the proper care, it will work just fine to lessen the worry of
glass breaking.
