chickenscratch Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Box 1 left cold grey Tennessee today, or at least is sitting in a post office somewhere in TN- destination-> Sunny FLORIDA. SO , Florida gals, be on the lookout. I\'m not telling who\'s first:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 And also today (on a chilly, bright/sunny & slightly breezy day in Fairbanks) another box was dropped off at the downtown post office and heading south to Washington. Hmmm...Let\'s take a huge guess who is first on the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Please, me me me meeeeee!!! I am so excited and will keep you all posted! And if it\'s not meeeeee--I will soon have my turn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yep---it was meeee! The precious box arrived minutes ago and I am looking at the goodies. I have my replacement items ready and will jet this out on Monday! Thanks Shana for the fun choices. And Teresa--you are an inspiration to me to be more organized!! The box contains a journal with places to write what you take and add, plus a comments spot. She also included a list of participants with addresses AND printed stick-on mailing labels for both the sender and the destination. This will be too easy!! You boggle the mind! Guess who\'s next??? Somebody in Washington, but far away over the mountains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Ooohhh, me, me, me!! There can\'t that many of us over here, can there? I\'ve got my goodies set aside as well - let\'s keep this moving.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelleslongarm Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Do we get one box or will both boxes be sent to everyone?? I\'ll be very happy with one and even more happy with two!! So much fun! Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 There are two boxes making the rounds. One starts at the top of Teresa\'s geographically-sorted list and one starts at the bottom. So... the boxes should cross paths somewhere in the middle of the list. Theoretically, someone on the middle of the list and in the middle of the country could have two boxes at once!! I just got one from Shana and when the second box gets to me I will be sending it to Shana. I hope I explained that correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Linda, Thanks for the compliments, but that was Shana\'s wonderful organization. The one I send does not have preprinted address labels. Barb, you might be the lucky one, but maybe not. And Linda\'s explanation is spot on.

laurashogren Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I would really like to join in if possible. Thanks Laura lshogren@tds.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 The good news is to get ready for the box I went through tons of patterns, books, drawers, closets, etc. to find some goodies for the box. The bad news is I found tons of potential projects, patterns, tools, yadda, yadda, that I had completely forgotten about and now need to fit into my schedule somehow. I love it!!! At least I am ready for the second box when it comes around to me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Laura, I\'m sorry, but we already sent the boxes and the lists were finalized last. We opened up sign ups for about a month. I thought that was long enough. Maybe if we do another one you can be included. I am so sorry you missed the signup deadline. Don\'t forget about the block swaps, though. There is the one going on now; but we\'re planning a Christmas one starting in June; and there\'s another one you can join by going to my website\'s chat forum.

chickenscratch Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Has the first box made it to Florida yet? I haven\'t heard from the person it went to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 The number two box has been mailed to person number three. Watch your mail box as it should arrive in two days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 It\'s here, it\'s here! Good thing my driveway was plowed again last night (third time since Sunday morning:o), so the mailman could make it in! Lots of goodies - but I can\'t take it all, can I? Guess I\'ll have to leave some of this yummy stuff for the rest of you:( And thank you, Linda, for the lovely piece of fabric - what a nice touch!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I just got an email that box 1 arrived in Florida, was repacked and is on its way to another home in Florida. What fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 The box I received yesterday is going out to its next recipient today - wanted to get it going before everything shuts down for the next storm! I\'m afraid I put in more items than I took out - had lots of little goodies left over from leftover door prizes from a quilt retreat I organized last year. Have fun, next in line!

DB Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 When are these boxes heading to the northeast?? I can\'t wait. Can you guys at least mention what was in the box and what you took out. Sounds like box number 2 is moving ahead quicker than box number 1. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhappy Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Can we find out where we are on the list?? Can we e-mail or U2U who is to get it next?? or is it like a big suprise?? Sewhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhappy Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Looks like I signed up 3rd yet WAAAAAAYYYYY down towards the bottom of the unalphabitized list ...so I am thinking it is going geographically??? Sewhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 NO, it\'s all a big surprise. The only hint is to look at the order of states where the boxes will go. It\'s a page or two back in this list. You will see what got put in and taken out when you read the journal that is in the box. The suspense is what keeps it interesting. Patty, Yes, the boxes are going geographically, so you might be coming up very soon. For what it\'s worth, box 1 had to leave here and go to Florida. I\'m the only one in Tennessee. It is going to Florida and then back up the east coast. Be patient, one of the boxes will get to you eventually. I\'m actually very impressed with how quickly they are moving around.

chickenscratch Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Where are the boxes right now? I know the one should have made it from one town to the other in Florida by now, and it should be on it\'s way to NC. The other one should be somewhere in California right now. Please post to let us know if it is at your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenMcManus Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I\'m in CA, but no box, yet. I\'m on the lookout! Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Nancy Jo (nineva) in Vancouver received Box #2 on Saturday, while the chats were down. It may be on its way to CA right now, or it may be going out soon. You\'ll have to wait until she gets back online! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Karol Kusmaul or Marylou Ross should have the other box right now. Emily emailed me last week to say she was sending it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
