I agree - Paula's frits DO look delicious!!
Jo - I sent you a personal invitation to join our game - hope you will accept!
I know I promised to get our boxes out today, but...gee whiz...it is quite a bit of work to get everyone, and all the glass organized! I need a day or two more - sorry folks!

And we're off!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee.....
We've got an East coast, and a West coast box...as mentioned in an earlier post - if you've got some ideas for fun games to go along with our boxes, speak right up!!
Our first 2 lucky players are:
East coast: Pipyr - tracking via Canada Post: 23 002 072 155, and
West coast: LaurieL - tracking via Canada Post: 47 133 470 676
Have fun with it ladies, and please refer back to the original Boro-box thread if you are unclear of any rules...
Basically, please try to move it along at a reasonable pace - last box we found that 5 days seemed to work well for everyone...Please insure the box for $200, post it via air mail, and post the tracking info, as well as your trade here in the thread for everyone to be able to see and play along with. Most important: Have fun!!
I packaged up the glass like the first time: 1 rod of each color listed above, cut in half, with both halves labeled. It's all in a tupperware type container with tons of bubble-wrap, which makes it super easy to slap on some tape and the shipping label, and it's ready to go!
When you are ready to re-ship our box, please PM me or e-mail (flowerval@citenet.net) for the next player's info.
Thanks to everyone for playing, and here's hoping this'll be the best box ever!
Peace and love, Val
