Bransmom (Joann), see?! You had fun! Now, was there anything to worry about?

I am a bit confused though it is supposed to be a flat rate box. That way, everyone has to pay the same amount and it doesn't matter what you put in/take out.

Keep stitchn,

Yes, fun to shop and add to the box and pass it on. Hopepfully someone will like the things I added to the box.

I just packed the box I got it in and sent it on. Guess I should have brought it back home with a flat rate box and repacked it. Hind sight is always 20 20 ... sorry.

The current box is not a flat rate box, and I was told it would cost approx. 30.00 to mail to CA I can't leave work tomorrow 4/30 to get to the post office, so I will have to wait until Friday to get to the post office and get a flat rate box and mail it off to CA.

I took some fabric that had no name, and a red plaid from Bransmom. A couple patterns, 2 books and leather thimble, that I may use to try to hand quilt.

It was exciting to open the box and root!!

$30!!!!!!!

It's only $13 someting for the largest flat rate box that I sent off in the first place. Deb, No, we don't want you paying that! Please get the flat rate box and mail on Friday. Thanks.

I'm glad you had fun rooting through there! It's sew much fun.

Keep stitchn,

yes, I was partying.... getting ready for the box... but I decided to stop partying and clear off part of my cutting table so I could open the box and spread it's contents all over and be picky and choosy...to do this I need to exercise my fingers... so I can have them strong enough to fondle the fabric, patterns and notions...

Deb, save some treasures for me... woo hoo...

The box is on its way to CA, I didn't get it mailed until Sat. 5/2, I did cram everything in the box the large flat rate was half of the size that it came to me in. It cost me $14.60 with delivery confirmation. #03020980000210301821. Enjoy!

the box has arrived... it has been gone through and it has been sealed up and is ready to move on... I will put it in tomorrows mail...

I took some green frabric and some flowered fabric from Bransmom... I took a wallet pattern from I don't know who and I took a large tote pattern....

the box is very fabric heavy, hardly any notions at all...

I am curious.. there was some black, white and striped and I think red fabric in a wal mart bag that said .... see what you can make from this 2008,,,, I am wondering what was made? there was no name on the bag...

I think I will sit the next round out... I am sure someone out there will fill in my slot....
