So...as I was cleaning out my sewing/crafty/studio area this week I came across A LOT of things that just scream FARMGIRL. I decided to box them up and send them traveling cross country to my Farmgirl friends.
Here's how it works...
I have jam packed a flat rate USPS box full of goodies for your perusal. You will not BELIEVE how much I was able to stuff into that little ol box girls! I am an excellent packer if I say so m'self. In this box you will find sewing & crafting things, a few handmade things, and some just plain pretties! A little something for everyone.
When you receive the box you can choose anything you like! Take out as much as you want! BUT, you must put an equal amount of goodies (similar value/close counts here) back into the box before sending it on to the next person on the list.
I will take the first TEN names who send me an e-mail. The box will travel from me, to person number 1, then 2, and so on. Each person who receives the box will be responsible for sending it on to it's next recipient. This should cost you less than $9...and let me tell you there is WAY more in this box than $9 worth of goodies! The last person will send the box back home to me.
Who wants FUN? Drop me an email...GO!

Now let me get this straight? do we keep re-using the box? I think that needs tobe part of the whole deal don't you? put our "stamp" on the box and then send it along to the next person? Or is there a "travel log" idea to keep with the box?

I'd love to do this too, if you need an extra person. I have lots of stuff I'm purging from the move, I think. I think you may already have your ten, though. Just let me know.

I will send an "instruction sheet" along with the box. When you receive the box it will be pasted to the outside like a packing slip. And yes Tasha, we will reuse the same box. That keeps things sorta even, plus seeing how full we can pack it is half the fun!
I emailed you other farmgirls.

Hi everyone,
I still need a couple of addresses before we can start. If your name has next to it I still need your address ASAP. You may notice I have added a few more players to this round, because I am soft, and because I can.
These will be the participants in this round:
1. Julie
2. Dani
3. Julia
4. Camille
5. Jane
6. Tasha
7. Marlene
8. Angie
9. Tammy
10. Ronna
11. Maggie
12. Lisa
13. Beth
Please post here when you receive the box, and again when you have sent it on it's way, so we can keep track of it.
Shhhh.... don't tell where it is heading next, we all like surprises!

Hi everyone,
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. My email has been down for a few days & all of your infomation was stored there in a draft I had started. Anyway, I have finished typing everything up & will be sending the box out in the next day or two. The first person will find the list & instructions on the TOP of the package, as I packed it before I knew who would be participating. That's all for now, be watching your mail!
Blessings,
Rhonda

Can someone update us on where the Funbox is now? This is for Box # 1, the original box. It should be getting close to the end if we are on schedule! Thanks ladies!

| I was wondering where it is too... we haven't heard anything lately and I'm one of the ones who has not received it yet... The last post on the "Farmgirl funbox is on its way!" link was from prairielandherbs and she said she was mailing it next day... her post was dated 1/24 .... hope that info helps! |

Thanks Maggie! If you could check that would be great. I will take a look at my list to see who was after you. Seems like it should be getting to the end of the line! Thanks again.
