1. Just recently, soooo... 6 months or so.
2. We're lazy, we're working on it.
3. Just did this, too.
4. Not yet, she's lazier than I.
5. We sent them out with about 9 months to go.
6. Not until December - we're doing wine bottles, and the guy who is getting them for us told us to wait until December, because we don't want it sitting around too long.
