SueB. the box is traveling again. We had some wind and rain but nothing like the coast...I don't think we even have had very many power outages which is what I was worried most about up here. I am very worried though about all of our friends on the coast! I hope all is well with everyone.
I will post the delivery confirmation as soon as I find my pocketbook. Tomorrow for sure. They said it should be there at least by Monday regardless of weather. I hope you enjoy. I will post a picture of my picks soon.

The smallest Cross in the corner is the one you put in the room.

I hope all our daily ups and downs are with needle and thread.

Looks like the box is on it's last journey before heading home. It has covered thousands of miles since it left Florida months ago.

Hope you find lots of things you can use, Sue.

Think I will do this again in January after things settle down from the Holidays... Chris

Glad you're going to do it again next year.

I was cleaning the sewing room yesterday and came across a few things that I put aside for the next box.

Cksvett, THANK YOU for hosting this swap. I can’t wait to do it again next year.
DD, lilmommy said she wants to sign up too. She said maybe we would get it two times, LOL.
I told her, no one is good, and that I would pick first and put stuff in then she could pick. LOL
She said that’s not fair, she needs to pick first because she has access to all my stuff anyway. ROLOL
Will mail package off tomorrow or friday.

Glad it made it home. Thank you for coordinating this year and for planning on doing it again next year. Nice 'non-birthday' package to receive and go through.

... well I saw someone just pulled an Ott Lite .. was that the mini I put in at the front of the ravels? It probably had batteries taped to the package. I have 2 of them that I use constantly.. walking the dog at night makes me look like a beacon!
Gosh this was fun .. and you can bet i am signing up again for next year .. Smile
PS... or maybe a TARGET!

TerryOH, yes there were 2 items that were left over from the previous swap that went all the way thru and ended up back here.

I ended up taking 4 1/2 packages of fabric from SueB. The other half of one of the packages went in with one of her other packages.

What is left will restart the box along with the items I will add to replace the 5 items taken.

Thanks to everyone that made this an exciting traveling box.

Look for sign up in January... chris
