excited to begin my treasure  hunt - it's not here.....yet!

HI KARYN-SUE

I BELIEVE YOUR BOX #2 I'M LOOKING FOR BOX #1................... SEEMS LIKE BOX #2 IS HAVING LOTS OF TURN AROUND................... WHICH IS COOL............................ VALERIE  

Valerie,
Box #1 left my house last Wednesday on it's way to Amy Jo in Colorado.  She should be getting it any day, now. I haven't even had time to upload the photos I took of what I got and what I put in. LOL
 

[pawprints]

Oh I'm so excited to see you took some of the things I put in!! It is great knowing they will be used!!

I think you said you put in the 6x6 papers and I went nuts for it lol. I'm sure other stuff too. That's the great thing about the swap box - I think everybody feels that they got the better deal and that's the fun of it. I had no idea what to do with those eyeballs and that's what everybody is talking about LOL!
  

Yes that big bag of 6x6 papers was me! Lol. Also I saw you took those wooden alpha stamps! I have had them for so long and I never use them. I am so glad you will find use for them!

LMK when it gets there and your reaction! My eyes bugged out when I saw how jam packed of goodies it was! And Barb is right - this box was cheaper than the Priority box flat rate which would've been about $18 and this was $15. I certainly think we are all getting our more than our money's worth in goodies for the shipping LOL!

Here’s what I took out of Box #1, including some chalk paints that I forgot to put in the photo.



Here is what I stuffed back in before sending it to Amy Jo.

I had to talk myself down from some of the 6x6 papers. "Now, Anne-Marie, leave some for the others!" LOL! And I thought those little stamps were so cute. I don't have any die cutting systems so I'm trying to use alpha stamps more often, well, stamps in general more often! And I love labels and I think those little wooden alphas will work with the labels. Stay tuned!

At last!!!!

So the short version of my sad story is:

1. my old computer died,
2. I had to get a new one,
3. I don't know how to post a pic to a thread on a mobile device,
4. we struggled to get the new one on the network - come to find out it was a network issue!

But here we are at last!

So......OMG what fun that was!  This is what I took out of the box:

and here is what I added:



The box was in rather poor shape when it got to me, so we have a new one - it's a plain cardboard box but I adorned it with priority tape and mailed it priority anyhow.  (It's also just a tad bigger so the 12x12 paper won't get squashed.) Now just to show you all exactly how anal I am, I organized the contents and put everything into plastic baggies. A lot of it was already in bags, so I combined similar items (alphas, die cuts, Christmas stuff) and donated a couple more baggies of my own.  On a serious note - it's pouring here yesterday and today, and I just couldn't put paper, in a paper box, for someone to (shudder to think) leave out in the rain!  So - the organized box looks like this:



So buh bye box!!!  Off you go to Chris (emmapaige)!

Have fun Chris - I left you lots of goodies!!! You should get the box on Saturday according to my postal guy. Here is a link to your tracking #:  https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmA ... 4109230996

Wow, you did an awesome job organizing and I can relate to what you did!  I am a zip lock baggie diva and would have done the same!  I keep boxes in every size they make in my scrap area.  I love those huge ones that come from ACOT!!

You found some fabulous things and put in some equally fabulous things!  What a great job you did organizing that box too.  Can I hire you to come help me organize my craft room??  hahahaha!

I can't wait - looking forward to seeing the box (1)!

[emmapaige]

I almost forgot the Swap Box was being delivered yesterday. By the time I got home from my crop and unpacked the car, the light bulb went off!! It was so heavy, DH had to help me bring it inside. Holy Moly!! That box is packed!!

This is what I took out:


And this is what I put in. I had more to put into the box but there was no more room.



DH isn't feeling well today so based on how he feels tomorrow, we'll either mail tomorrow or Tuesday. I'll provide the tracking number once it is on its way to Vicki.

Great finds and new stash, Chris.  Oh my goodness!  I can't believe I'm next already.  I hope it gets here by Thursday!  I'm leaving on Thursday evening and won't be home until Sunday from my crop.  What timing.  If I get it in time, I will do my best to turn around and get it to Holly.
