Happy Summer!
We are having such fun with the Traveling Craft Swap - we've decided to keep the adventure going.
Here’s how it works:
The first person fills up a 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 (square) is $21.10.
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.
I closed this at 7 - since it's summer and we could all use some crafty time inside to keep cool I will ship out at the end of this week.

2. Ripleysmine - Tina - Received & shipped
3. churunga - Marie - Received & shipped
4. StitchinWitch - Judith - Received
5. Wanda Sue - Wanda
6. JeanP - Jean
7. LauraBell - Laura
If you are a new craft box swapper or if your address has changed, please message me your mailing address so I can 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.

These traveling craft boxes are sew much fun. I've gleaned some neat stuff but have gotten rid of much more. I think I have enough to do it one more time. But then I'll have to take a break until I replenish the stash. LOL. So count me in for Lucky 13.

Okay swapping friends!
I am packing up our box today - there are 7 of us this round. I will warn you :) that my sister and I are merging our sewing and craft rooms and this box is going to be full of fun. I will definitely need a 14th box just based on what we have already gathered together.
Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!

Hi Kelly,
I mailed the 13th box yesterday and it says it should arrive today. I am in Comfort to pick up my son from summer camp. I joked with the postman that I should have just delivered it to Pipe Creek!
Hope you can find some treasures,
Laura

The package has been sent. The tracking number is 9505515426821214392516. It should arrive by the 5th of August.
These are some of the treasures I found.
These are more of the treasures I found. I always love seeing it when some of the things I put in the box are rehomed. I hope you all do too,

That looks like a happy cat and it looks like you found lots of treasures - how fun!
I think we'll take a quick break before we start our 14th traveling craft box. This will give us all time to finish up summer and get ready for fall. So keep collecting supplies - I know I'll always have plenty - and hopefully I'll get another box started in September.
Looking forward to seeing what you all find when the box visits you!

The box arrived and I found a few goodies. The poor box was rather battered and banged up from its journey so I'll have to go to the PO and get another box so it probably won't go out until Tuesday.

Yeah sometimes I want to ship him out. He is a chest hugger who doesn't take care with his claws. Those things are the same as fish hooks in the skin! He is an absolute sweetie though.

I have been patiently waiting for it! It was not delivered to me on Monday before I went out of town, but I am away from home for two more days, so if it got delivered I will find it Friday. I never saw a tracking number though, so I can’t tell if it has been delivered.

UPDATE: We signed up for “Informed Delivery” through the USPS
and it says the package is out for delivery today. So I will be home on Friday
and will turn it around as quick as possible!!
