I don’t know Mark that well, but I did meet him while at National Convention, and I do think about him and pray for him. So, scribbling his address on the card was quite a feat, and I must say it was hard fitting it all neatly and clearly!  So, here is my idea.  I went into my software and copied his address from Suzie’s blog post and pasted it into the address box.  I then printed it on 10 of the labels on a sheet of 30, (In Microsoft Picture It! you can select how many labels you want to print on to at a time.)  Then I changed the address and copied Tyler’s address from Becky’s Blog post and pasted it into the address block.  Then I printed off 10 of those on the same sheet.  Lastly, I pasted Fran’s address in and printed off 10 copies on that same sheet of 30.  Now, I can write a quick note, and the 10pt font is clear to read and fits on any postcard!
