New! Boro-Box II: Sign-ups now OPEN!!
Hey everybody! Our boro-box, which has been active since September, is now on it's final leg of it's journey! It's gone from one coast to the other, from Canada to the States, and (almost) back again - 15 glass addicts, mostly virtual strangers, all playing nicely together in our huge imaginary sand-box!
I'd like to thank each and every one of the player's - it went off without a hitch, and everyone got to try new things, and I believe, have fun with it...
I'll be starting a new box on January 15th, so...if you want to get in on the fun this time, or if you want to play it again, now is the time to e-mail me with your info.
Please e-mail to: flowerval@citenet.net
Include your real name
LE name
Address, including postal code
Telephone number
E-mail address
And any dates that you know of that you would not be able to play...
Look forward to hearing from you...
Peace and love

Consider it a done deal, Lori! I've received quite a few names already, and will post them all here soon...

Glad you're going to join us, Paula - can you please send me another e-mail with your details, so I can add it onto this new list?!!
Hannah, I don't have the "official rules" as of yet, but we'll follow along like our current box, I suppose.
Everyone is welcome - our current box is on a route from coast-to-coast, so is travelling pretty quickly.
I ask that all players insure the box for $200, and post the tracking number, so everyone can play along, and also post to the thread what you took and what you added in - for the same reasons. Also, I ask that players don't keep the box for more than 5 days, and that ensures it's nice quick pace! Also, please try and "play fair"...meaning, if you take out a dozen different color rods, please put back something equivalent, so everyone can have a great choice to choose from.
Lastly, and most important: have fun!
Hope you will join us Hannah, and whomever else is reading this post - please e-mail me your details if you want to play...

I'm with HannahRachel here. It sounds interesting, but... How does this work? The 'rules' for the old one are no-where to be found.

It's come to my attention that some people aren't sure what the boro-box is all about...
Basically, I will start a box filled with boro glass and related stuff - it gets sent by me to the next player, who opens it, gets to pick and choose what they want from it - and then puts in an equivalent value of "stuff", tapes the box back up, and send it along to the next player/participant.
We post the contents to the thread, so all players can watch it's transformation as it travels from glass addict to glass addict!
What makes it fun for a lot of people, is that it gives us an opportunity to try new colors, frit, etcetera that we wouldn't necessarily have ordered ourselves, and hey - it's just fun to be "a player"!
I, being the "co-ordinator", have a list of everyone's names and addresses, and when the active player is done with it, and ready to mail it off, I supply the next name of the next player - that way it stays as a bit of a surprise to everyone until the last moment as to who is going to be the next recipient.
Hope that it's all clear, but please don't hesitate if you've got any more questions...

The last bax was so much fun, I am going to do it again. Try new glass, get new frit, and cool stuff to put with your boro prizes and a beautiful gift from our boro buddies! Who could say no to that.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I drooled some more last night over what I got out of the last boro box. It was such a blast and to get to try so many new colors.
