Sounds like a great idea.  At least these should go through the mail OK.  The 
mailman might get awfully hungary melling all those spices.

I have just recently read some of the things being used in aromatherapy used 
to suppress appetites.  It was quite interesting.

Hope that you were able to get all the cards made, and able to keep them 
under the 1/4" thickness so they could go for regular postage.  I don't know 
if I was aware of the thickness limitation until you mentioned it.  I do know 
about the weight limit, and have plenty of the extra/additional ounce stamps.
Happy crafting,
Donna
