DB Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Sandra, You are the next stop for the east coast box! I also have you on my list for the friendship block swap so I will make sure to include your block in the box. Still have a few more of those to complete. There are two stops in PA. then off to Ohio. These swaps are alot of fun, we need to get a round robin going. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi DB, Thanks for the update on the box. Now I am totally excited - the East coast box and a Friendship block at the sme time. Yippee! PS-For others reading this, I have 4 more Friendship blocks to finish and I will take them all to the post office at the same time. Hopefully, that will be by the end of March.

DB Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 The east coast box is on it\'s way to Philadelphia. It\'s really heavy over 12 pounds. I hope it doesn\'t burst on the way! Love the journal. Sandra be on the look out. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hi All, The box arrived in Philadelphia this afternoon. WOW! What a lot of goodies to look through. It was so funny...I was at Water Babies with my little granddaughter when the box was delivered. My husband brought it into the house and as he set it down on the kitchen table the chicken squawked. He said he jumped a mile! HA,ha,ha. He couldn\'t wait until I got home to have me open the box so he could see what made the noise. That was almost as much fun as looking through the rest of the things. I guess that\'s just my warped sense of humor. LOL. Anyway, I removed a book and 2 patterns (bottom row), and put in 3 patterns, a wall hanging kit with the pattern, 3 spools of metalic thread, and a little purse sized tsssue cover that I made (top row). I especially loved reading the journal. That was such a wonderful idea to include, complete with a typed list of the destinations. This box was really so well organized, I have to say I am very impressed! Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just wondering where the East coast box is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I was wondering that also. I think it has one more stop in PA, doesn\'t it? Then OH, I think. I\'ll check the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Okay, it should have left PA and it has 4 stops in Ohio, then on to Michigan, then Indiana.. SO, if you live in New Albany, OH check your mail. You may have a goodie box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Does it ever get to Illinois? Coleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yes, Coleen, After Indiana. It is going state to state across the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Sorry everyone!!! I\'m the hold up in PA. I may not be able to get the box to the post office until Saturday morning. It is closed when I go to work and closed when I leave work, and I only get 1/2 hour lunch, so there\'s not enough time to get out and back in 30 minutes. I\'m so sorry for the delay, but at least you all know it isn\'t lost. I WILL mail it on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Sorry, After reading all the posts, I\'m just getting excited. It doesn\'t happen much at my ripe old age :( Coleem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Coleen, Why are you apologizing? I understand how exciting it is. I\'m sorry if you felt my answer was abrupt. That\'s one of the problems with typing instead of talking. At least we know that Sandra will be mailing it to OH on Saturday, so it should be to you by the end of April I\'ll bet. I\'m beginning to wonder if the boxes are really going to make it to all their destinations by December. Seems like maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Teresa, I wasn\'t really apologizing, I was joking, being in the spirit of the adventure! I\'m totally with you about the typing. I didn\'t take any offense to your comment. Thanks for caring!! Hope to talk to you in person or on the phone sometime, Coleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 The East Coast box is now in the mail to Marion Ruppel, in Jermyn, PA. It should arrive there on Tuesday, they said. Again, I appologise for the delay. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Good morning Marion Ruppel, The post office told me the box should be delivered to you on Tuesday. Did you receive it yet? Just curious. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Recieved box yesterday sent out today. Lots of good stuff. Hope it keeps on giving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks for letting me know, Marion. I always have to "close the loop" - I guess I am a bit "anal" in that respect. It really is a fun box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoore1223 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 We\'re all wondering where they\'re at. Bonnie posted on another white elephant thread that the East coast one should be in Ohio I think. Haven\'t read anything about the West coast one in quite awhile.

jmcclannan Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Yippee! That east coast box is finally headed west. Being in Nebraska is forcing me to be patient, which does not come naturally to me. I can hardly wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
