SWAP BOXES

[Amy Jo]

Valerie,
Box #1 left my house last Wednesday on it's way to Amy Jo in Colorado.  She should be getting it any day, now. I haven't even had time to upload the photos I took of what I got and what I put in. LOL 

RECEIVED!! I just have to take photos of what I took out and what I'm putting in before I tape it up and ship it!   

omg girl hurry up, i'm next!!  lol
  

Hubby got it in the mail for me yesterday but didn’t get a tracking number, ugh! Hopefully it arrives by the end of the week!

 I almost forgot the Swap Box was being delivered yesterday. By the time I got home from my crop and unpacked the car, the light bulb went off!! It was so heavy, DH had to help me bring it inside. Holy Moly!! That box is packed!!

This is what I took out:


And this is what I put in. I had more to put into the box but there was no more room.



DH isn't feeling well today so based on how he feels tomorrow, we'll either mail tomorrow or Tuesday. I'll provide the tracking number once it is on its way to Vicki. 

Great finds and new stash, Chris.  Oh my goodness!  I can't believe I'm next already.  I hope it gets here by Thursday!  I'm leaving on Thursday evening and won't be home until Sunday from my crop.  What timing.  If I get it in time, I will do my best to turn around and get it to Holly.
  

I'm after Vicki, but I also have travel plans starting next Friday through the first week of May.  I've reached out to Vicki and Lis privately, but I wanted to let you all know there is going to be a bit of a delay with Box 2.  So Chris and Vicki, there's no need to rush.  I will return on 5/7, and I hope to get to this as quickly as possible! Thanks for your understanding.

It's here!  Box #2 already opened and I've gone through everything.  The box is packed full for sure and ready to be sent to Holly.  I'll be mailing as instructed! 

Here's what I took out...


And, here's what I put in!

Here’s what I took out of Box #1, including some chalk paints that I forgot to put in the photo.



Here is what I stuffed back in before sending it to Amy Jo. 

Ooh, some fun stuff going in and coming out! Enjoy!

Dang - I wish I had been after you. Lots of 49 and Market goodies.

At last!!!!

So the short version of my sad story is:

1. my old computer died,
2. I had to get a new one,
3. I don't know how to post a pic to a thread on a mobile device,
4. we struggled to get the new one on the network - come to find out it was a network issue!

But here we are at last!

So......OMG what fun that was!  This is what I took out of the box:

and here is what I added:



The box was in rather poor shape when it got to me, so we have a new one - it's a plain cardboard box but I adorned it with priority tape and mailed it priority anyhow.  (It's also just a tad bigger so the 12x12 paper won't get squashed.) Now just to show you all exactly how anal I am, I organized the contents and put everything into plastic baggies. A lot of it was already in bags, so I combined similar items (alphas, die cuts, Christmas stuff) and donated a couple more baggies of my own.  On a serious note - it's pouring here yesterday and today, and I just couldn't put paper, in a paper box, for someone to (shudder to think) leave out in the rain!  So - the organized box looks like this:



So buh bye box!!!  Off you go to Chris (emmapaige)!

Have fun Chris - I left you lots of goodies!!! You should get the box on Saturday according to my postal guy. Here is a link to your tracking #:  https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmA ... 4109230996

Sorry about your computer issues! Glad you got it worked out but frustrating in the meantime. I also don't know how to upload from my phone!

Love the stuff you took and put in! I see some of the things I put in the box, including the eyeballs LOL! What do you plan to do with them? I had no clue what to do with them! And great job with the bagging everything up. I tried to bag some of the stuff together too but am not that organized, LOL! Enjoy your haul!

[scrappinmom99]

Sitting patiently for my turn lol I can't wait!

It's so much fun! Enjoy!

Glad you had fun with it! I put in that laser cut thingy - glad you could use it. Again, I had no idea what to do with it. I'll be interested to see how you use it! Can I say I'm jelly of those paper pads. Not that I didn't get quite the haul of paper pads from Barb though LOL! Paper is just my total weakness!

I had so much to add to the box, but there just wasn't enough room  It will have to wait until next time.
