Deb's Embellishment Box sign up

This sounds like fun too! I WILL sign up for this one, since I missed out on the recipe swap. I already sent you the email sign up. Linda C

Forgot one tiny detail about the embellishment box....oops. I'm hoping everyone already had this figured out, too. But, just in case, when the embellishment box reaches you, take out what you want, but replace them with the same number of items. It doesn't have to be buttons for buttons, just the same number of items. If you take out 10 things (5 brads and 5 eyelets for instance), simply add 10 items to the box, even if it's 10 buttons. Also, one more thing I forgot. Please, send the box on within a week of when you receive it. I understand things sometimes happen, so if something does happen to prevent you from sending it on, please let me know.

Ok, I think that's all I forgot. Don't worry, if you sign up, you'll get all this again in an email. LOL

Got ya down!

One more thing we should consider. This is a group box, so like the old scrapbox, the same posting requirements should be put in place. You get it, you let the group know, you take things out and put them in, you let us all know what you took out and what you put in, and you also should post who is getting it next as well as emailing that person to make sure that they will be home and available to receive the box and quickly go through it. Because the exact timing of when the box will actually get to you is rather vague, it is sometimes a bad time for the next person on the list. In that case the person can either get it after the person below him or her or be put at the end of the list.

So far, I've got sign ups from the following.

Linda Irene Mel K Melissa

There's still plenty of time to sign up! If you've sent me a sign up email, and your name is not listed, please email again. I try to catch the non-spam emails, but sometimes they slip through anyways.

Well, I thought I had emailed, but I don't find it in my "sent mail" so I'll try this.

Please sign me up!

Thanks,

Jessica

PS - oh, and Melissa and I live fairly close to each other, and see eachother somewhat regularly, maybe we can save some postage by one of us giving it to the other.

Deb > So far, I've got sign ups from the following.

Got ya down now Jessica. I'll make sure to arrange it so you and Mel can have the box right after each other.

Deb can you send me all the info for the website for your swap please? Thanks!

M-C

Deb - just to make sure I am clear - I live close to Melissa in Seattle. I am sure Mel K is a great person, but I don't know her as well. :)

Thanks!

Jessica

Good point, Jessica... I think a handoff from Washington to Georgia would be a bit of a reach!

Y'know, this embellishment box swap can be one heck of an enabler. I just got back from a round of LSS's, and I frequently found myself standing in front of a rack of stuff, with the following conversation running in my head: "Oh, this is so cute!" "But it won't go with anything I'm working on. What would I do with it?" "Well, maybe I can't use it, but it would go great in the Embellishment box! I'm gonna buy it!" Some of this stuff goes into the starter batch, in the mail tomorrow. The rest I'm gonna hold onto until the box gets to me (by then the stash should be somewhat larger). I'm looking forward to seeing the box!

Mel K

Oops! I got Mel & Melissa confused I think. Now I have it straightened out though. Thanks for the clarification! LOL

Aww...come on Mel. Where's your sense of adventure? LOL

Glad I could be of service. LOL I was hunting for chocolate chip, marshmallow, or ice cream (scoops - no cones) embellishments and kept seeing all kinds of neat things that would go great in the embellishment box. But....I was a good girl and didn't buy a darn thing. (couldn't find any chocolate chip, marshmallow, or ice cream embellishments). But....don't panic, it's not time to take away my FLASS badge. I redeemed myself by surfing ebay and put a bid on a box of 800 brads. I feel better now!

Hi, Melissa in Seattle here.

Yes, it is confusing. There is actually another Melissa lurking here too. I AM the Melissa currently mentioned. However, I'd prefer to b on the opposite end of the embellishment box as Jessica. If that means she gets it Firstish and she gets it Lastish that'd be fine by me.

Thanks!

Melissa

I'm getting excited, how about you? I now have sign ups from the following...

Linda Irene Mel K Melissa Jessica Jacqui Sandy

There's still time to sign up! For those already signed up, and those that will sign up (hint hint!! LOL), I need you to email me the following:

Name: Snail mail address: (if you haven't already) Phone number: Any dates you know you'll be unable to receive the box:

Actually, it's easy to confuse me. Just ask my family! LOL I'll do what I can to make it work out where Melissa & Jessica are at opposite ends. The box will fit in a flat rate priority box, so the shipping will be a flat rate for everybody. Hope that makes sense!

Thanks for letting me know Sandy. My mail man may not like me soon. LOL I got the notice from QVC that my package from them shipped today and now I have all these marvelous embellishments you all are sending. Yep....gonna be stalking the mail man! LOL
