Happy January!
It's time to kick off our next round of the Traveling Craft Box Swap.
Here’s how it works:
The first person fills up a large flat rate box with all kinds of craft items to share/pass on. The box is mailed to the first swapper on the list. The next person receives the box, goes through and takes out what she wants and adds her stuff to the box. Whether she takes a lot or little is up to her, but she has to fill the box up again for the next person on our list.
This is a fun way to pass on supplies you don’t use anymore and you never know what treasures you might find. Please package up smaller items to keep them from getting lost. It also makes the box neater and easier to pack.
We’ll mail using a large flat rate box so shipping will be the same for everyone. Currently the large flat rate box is $22.45.
When you receive the box, please post here and let us know you have received it. We can shoot for a 7 day turn around. Post when you have shipped it on to the next person on the list. Please include the tracking number as it will be fun to “watch” our box travel.
Craft box swappers - please email me your mailing address. I will include the mailing list in the box. When you receive the box, just cross off your name and send it to the next Farm Girl on the list.
Signups will be until January 31st with a initial mailing date of February 1.
Here are our swappers:
1. darlenelovesart - Darlene
2. Krissel - Vicki
3. churunga - Marie
4. LauraBell - Laura
Have fun looking through your crafty supplies. I've already got our box started!

Thanks - I'll watch out for it.
Just throwing this out there - if anyone else wants to start the box, I'd be happy to share that. I'll still do the organizing but then whoever fills the first box and mails it off, ends up with the full box at the end. Not sure if anyone else wants to do that - but if you do, just let me know.

Hi Swappers!
I've been up visiting my daughter and her family - babysat while they took a birthday vacation and then stayed so we could do some vintage shopping in Canton. Now I'm back home and getting settled in again.
Glad to see the craft box has been having a successful journey. Not sure if there will be interest in another round but it's always so much fun to share what others might find useful.
I'll check in again soon!

I spent last week traveling throughout Florida, on an adventure with my brother. He was visiting from Alaska,along with my adult nephew, and they were cooking in the 85 degree weather. It was a great visit though and despite the Red Tide on the West coast we had a good Time! First thing I thought to check on was the BOX! LOL! I am awaiting it's arrival. I am very curious what is in it and what I can pass along. A little of every kind of thing I hope. See it soon!

I've closed our swap so our box will be on it's way soon. Our local quilt show is this weekend and I'll be volunteering so my goal is to get the box sent out early next week.
Thanks for participating - it will be a quick travelling box this time!
