Thanks, you two! I really appreciate it.

Me & hubby were really happy with them and guests said it was like they had gotten a little treasure in the mail. :D

The heart of the scrolls are wooden dowels of two sizes. I spray painted the entire dowel, though obviously I didn't need to - I just felt like it was the right thing to do. http://www.craftster.org/forum/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif I used glass beads instead of dowel caps and attached them with teeny tiny nails.

The scrolls are rolled with rubber cement and clothes pinned to dry...dry...dry.

I made the envelopes wide enough that they stayed pretty flat with the scrolls & booklets inside:

We hand-delivered most of them, but postage-wise, here's the approx $:
Ohio to CA was $1.47
Ohio to OH, MN, VA and TX were all $1.30
