Okay - let's do it! We'll kick off our next round of the Traveling Craft Box Swap. (I lost count so I won't keep track of the box number anymore.)
Here’s how it works:
The first person fills up a large flat rate box with all kinds of craft items to share/pass on. The box is mailed to the first swapper on the list. The next person receives the box, goes through and takes out what she wants and adds her stuff to the box. Whether she takes a lot or little is up to her, but she has to fill the box up again for the next person on our list.
This is a fun way to pass on supplies you don’t use anymore and you never know what treasures you might find. Please package up smaller items to keep them from getting lost. It also makes the box neater and easier to pack.
We’ll mail using a large flat rate box so shipping will be the same for everyone. Currently the large flat rate box is $22.45.
When you receive the box, please post here and let us know you have received it. We can shoot for a 7 day turn around - keeping holidays in mind - it's a busy time of the year. Post when you have shipped it on to the next person on the list. Please include the tracking number as it will be fun to “watch” our box travel.
Craft box swappers - please email me your mailing address. I will include the mailing list in the box. When you receive the box, just cross off your name and send it to the next Farm Girl on the list.
Here's who we have so far:
1. churunga - Marie
2. darlenelovesart - Darlene
3. Wanda Sue - Wanda
4. JeanP - Jean
5. Jokamartell - Karen
6. JennRap - Jennifer
7. LauraBell - Laura
I'll plan to mail the box out by October 26 - will try for earlier and keep you all posted. Then the fun begins!

Me too! I need to downsize some things! Also it’s so much fun to get surprises in the mail that you “didn’t know you wanted” till you see it, LOL!

Oh Kelly - I'm so sorry that life is crazy for you - I'll certainly take you out of the rotation but if you decide to pop back in towards the end, just let me know and we'll make it work.
Take care and feel a hug,
Laura

Hi Swappers,
I've picked up our box and it's starting to get full. I've got a few more things to add and will send it out later this week.
Wishing you all a wonderful week,

I work at a bookstore which takes in donations of books. Some books are too damaged to sell. I take them home and plan to use them for junk journaling. Would anyone be interested in these if I put some of them in the box?

Oh I love ephemera and vintage books! I think that could be a fun addition.
I've got a TON of old books from my family - not really in good enough shape to donate anywhere and I was thinking of trying to use them/sell them as junk journals too.

Hi everyone :)
I think I have all the addresses now - so if you've moved recently (or at least since our last traveling box swap) please check with me to make sure I've got your address right.
I've got the list printed and will be putting the finishing touches on the box tonight. Have a trip to the post office planned for tomorrow!
I haven't been able to find the large game board box yet so I've got it packed in a large square priority box. If I can find those game board box, I'm going to snag a few for future swaps!
Have a great Thursday,
Laura

Happy End of October everyone!
The box is stuffed and will be mailed tomorrow. Sorry for the delay - life happened last week and so I didn't make it to the post office as I thought I would.
On a positive note, my sister and I have already started stuffing another box! So looks like when this one is wrapping up, we can start another!
Marie - I will send you the tracking info tomorrow when I get back from the post office.
