Comment: Thank you for the beautiful and protected postcards and extra playing cards! The envelope was cleanly open at the top, but I believe everything was inside the protective sleeve.

Comment: Like the card. I have never saw that before. Gluten free crusts are either weird tasting or good if you add enough stuff on it to hid the taste. I found I like the bread if I turn it into garlic toast. lol
