i was wondering if there would be any interest in starting a homeschooling funbox exchange. I have a bunch of books and things for different ages.

I figured I could put them in one of the flat rate boxes and then send it on to the next person who would take out things they need and put other stuff in and pass it on.

Any interest? It wouldn't be until after the first of the year.

I'm in. I have three kids schooling right now, and one who is 2. I'm sure that we could find stuff to throw in. I have 6th, 3rd, and K-1st. most of my stuff would be for younger kids. FUN!!

I don't know when this was slated for..but I have to clean out things "Now!" and so have listed a few items in the marketplace section.
I have more things to go through and will be posting more so stay tuned. I honestly/truly don't need to add items to my current stash(we are going to be moving..so the less I have to move the bettter) that's why I have listed them on the marketplace. So sorry I chimed in earlier as to thinking I could participate in the swap box...silly me! I need to "get rid of stuff gosh darn it!..not acquire more", and won't be able to participate in the swap box after all.(please forgive me) and in the meantime..check out what I've posted over on the marketplace... it might be something you are looking for.
I'll be adding more in the next day or so.

Tammy, I sent it on to you today - it is coming in 2 boxes because it would not fit in one flat rate box. It went priority because I included some St. Pat's stuff, and I want to be sure you get it in time...

I don't remember who I mailed it to. It was the next person on the list. They should have received it a while back though.
