Can't wait for the goodies to arrive! I love to quilt, sew, scrapbook and collect vintage buttons and sewing notions. Tons of stuff to share. Have fun!

I have an idea!!!!! Yep, another one. 
Since we are "planning" on doing this SwapAround again, how about adding this game to this time?????
Here is what I was thinking. In the last email, I said "You all will have to figure out my method of madness as to where it is going each time" ... well, the first person to figure out (and email me) the box's route of travel will be the person that gets the next box first.
What ya'll think of that plan?????????????

Hey Lynn,
I'll bet you got out the old map and figured out the shortest route that would take the box in a big circle and back to you, Going east to west.
We should call it the Everready Box so it can just keep going and going and.......

I think this is going to be fun! The one thing that would be better with the flat rate box is if a new one is needed it can be picked up at the post office free! It would be great if we could keep it going around for a while!!!

| Whoever gets the box be sure to let us know! It will be fun to see what you chose to keep for yourself. Then the next person can be surprised with what you added and what you left in there. Can't wait! |

OOPS, a little late here, but my interests include sewing of all kinds. I like ric-rac, small strips of fabric for log cabin quilty things, buttons, ribbon, etc. Bits of things for doll making, even pieces of uncombed wool for doll hair. Also interesting paper or cardstock pieces. Just some ideas...

Well, let's see. I mailed the box on the 6th, so with 2 day priority mail "someone" ( I wonder who???) should get the box today.
I've only had a couple of people guess my order of sending the box. Anyone else have any ideas?????

Yes, and someone did get the box today! It was me! I will be mailing it from Hutchinson, Minnesota, tomorrow, Tuesday, March 10th. ETA for next destination should be Thursday the 12th. I'm headed to my craft room to replenish - thank you for the goodies Lynn. This is so much fun - I was so surprised when I saw the package in my mailbox. Good things come in small packages!

Yipeee for Gail. I sure hope you found a couple of things you could use like the lace. I packed it as full as I could and still be able to close the flap. Don't forget to date and sign the notebook.
I would like everyone to post suggestions when you get this box so I can make improvements next time.

Julie - I found several things that will be added treasures to my stash of craft items. The lace was definitely one of them. I in turn am trying to get as many things in the box as I can. I have two suggestions - Julie enclosed extra address labels in the box - I will put in a couple more - this way the box can be addressed before heading to the post office. I'm going to jot down the items I added to the box in the journal - gives everyone an idea of where in the country the items came from - just ideas - this is great fun, thanks for organizing it for us Lynn.

OK Farmgirl Sisters - the box is on the move - just got back from the post office and it will go out today. It is stuffed - who is next? I am already using a piece of lace Lynn placed in the box, I will post a pic of finished product in a few days. This is so fun. It is snowing here today - suppose to get 6 plus inches, so good day for crafting.
