Happy January!
It's time to kick off our next round of the Traveling Craft Box Swap. 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. 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.
Signups will be until January 31st with a initial mailing date of February 1.
Here are our swappers: 1. darlenelovesart - Darlene 2. Krissel - Vicki 3. churunga - Marie 4. LauraBell - Laura
Have fun looking through your crafty supplies. I've already got our box started!

I think we are all to send our address in an email. I did and am waiting to hear also if we will get a couple more or not. If it's just a few that's cool too. We have till the 31 of January to see if more join us this round.

Hi everyone :)
I haven't forgotten about you - just got back from a trip and was trying to be device free for a little bit. I'm catching up now and will close the box tonight and make plans to get it on it's way this week. We'll have a smaller group this time - and that's okay :)
I'll be working on our address list so if I'm missing any one I'll send a quick e-mail.
More very soon,
Laura

Happy Friday!
I've closed our swap so our box will be on it's way soon. Our local quilt show is this weekend and I'll be volunteering so my goal is to get the box sent out early next week.
Thanks for participating - it will be a quick travelling box this time!

I spent last week traveling throughout Florida, on an adventure with my brother. He was visiting from Alaska,along with my adult nephew, and they were cooking in the 85 degree weather. It was a great visit though and despite the Red Tide on the West coast we had a good Time! First thing I thought to check on was the BOX! LOL! I am awaiting it's arrival. I am very curious what is in it and what I can pass along. A little of every kind of thing I hope. See it soon!

I have the box and have gone through it. Here is what I found.

Thank you notes, knitting needles and tri-beads.

Piece and embroidery, small appliqués, fabric some of it precut and a cross stitch sampler book.
