MaryLou5740 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hey, I like the "journal" idea...a list of what was in the box would be in it.. then #2, would take any item she wants and add to the Journal what she puts in, plus some interesting tid-bit, helpful hint, song of praise or a gripe. When #3 gets the box, they take what they can use and in the journal, add the items they\'ve included...and maybe some enlightening tip or clever idea, etc. Should there be some sort of a limit on weight? I\'d hate to think of this dragging along at 40# and we\'re paying postage on it. Likewise, value of items..I don\'t want to have to pay insurance on it. But it certainly sounds like fun!

chickenscratch Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 For those of you latecomers- Make sure I have your name and address by tonight. You can email it to me. I will add you to the list. MaryLou makes a good point. If you take a book, add a book. If you take thread try to add thread or something about the same weight. I wouldn\'t want to send thread and have somebody take it all and put a book or two in, then the next person put more books in. The box would weigh a ton. Let\'s all play nice and keep it moving once it gets going. I will try to get the first mailing out on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Okay, I tried to do this to minimize shipping costs for everybody,so it is going from state to state in a pattern. Box 1 will leave from my house and travel in this order: TN, FL, NC, VA, MD, NY, MA, PA, OH, MI, IN, IL, MO, IA, NE, MN, CO, OR, MT, CA, WA, AK, then back to me Box 2 will leave from Shana\'s house and travel in this order: AK, WA, CA, MT, OR, CO, MN, NE, IA, MO, IL, IN, MI, OH, PA, MA, NY, MD, VA, NC, FL, TN, then back to Shana Shana, I will email you the list of names and addresses to put in the box leaving from your house. Please also include a small journal to record what has been put in and removed from the package, and any quilting tips, ideas, or funny anecdotes. I\'m just waiting for Pamela Sperling to get me her address, since the dog ate it. Then box 1 goes to the post office. YEAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajab Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Teresa, Thanks for getting this going. Can\'t wait to get a box and see all the goodies. Better start looking around for things to add. Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Angela - oh see- now I was trying to figure out if I was the only "MN" in this little swap and going to get each box or what! Now I know..... That\'s what I was just thinking too, but we can always add in fabric too, right? I do just happen to have a bit of that around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Good morning ladies. Judi, YES definitely fabric. Right now I have three books, a rotary cutter that\'s not comfortable in my hand, three pattern packs, a yard or two of fabric, and a rotating cuttin mat gathered up. Those things will go into the two boxes, I just have to figure out what goes in box one and what goes in box two. I will get the first box packed and in the mail Tuesday. Shana will, hopefully, get the second box in the mail sometime this week also. The reason I had the box travel from state to state, instead of criss-crossing back and forth all over the country is because the lady at our post office said it costs less to mail closer than to mail far away. Example I can mail to KY or MO a whole lot cheaper than mailing to CA, even if the box is the same size and weighs the same amount. She said it applies to anything over 1 oz., which this will be. SO, I thought we could all save a little bit of money by mailing to those people closest to us. Sound okay?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Teresa, For me it is easy, if you are the one orgainzing this then you get to make the decisions! You\'re doing a good job and it will be fun to see what comes in the two boxes. Thanks for organizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sounds great to me. VA is close to TN!!! Really appreciate all the work you\'re doing. This will be fun, sounds like some great items already. Our quilt show is in a few weeks (Mid-Atlantic) I hope to find at least 1 interesting item to put into the box plus other items I have collecting dust.
