Ahem. It is with glad tidings that I report that the Spawn of the Mystery box has arrived in Lansdale PA.
So, it will sit neatly and tidily on my shelf until I can move some, um... "stuff" out of my house.
Yah - I've had it for a while, and I did warn y'all that with so much *stuff* in my house at the moment, I was afraid to do anything with Ye Olde Mysterious Type Box until I move some of this stuff out. The good news is that I've made up 4 of the 7 Raffle Baskets (which are really boxes cause I just had too much stuff to fit in the baskets) so I'm starting to clear the clutter. Rest assured though, the box is safe and we'll get 'er moving as soon as we can!

Over_Worked_MomNow that Charity World 2006 has all but vacated the premises, I am now ready to send on the Mystery Box. But to where? Well, I have randomly selected a member based on a few criteria : 1) I don't know the person. Never dealt with them in either a personal or professional manner. 2) They are on the Permission List cause I had to ask since I don't know who they are and 3) I liked their screen name

So, if you don't know me (or at least I don't think I know them...), and you're on the permission list AND you have a cool screen name, the box may be coming your way next week!. Oh Happy Day!

Scifi_CollectorI know the box has been around for almost 2 years, I think i'm a little behind.

Yayyyyy!

I am the latest lucky recipient of The Mystery Box!!! I got it in the mail today!
Thanks so much to Over_Worked_Mom, who was kind enough to send it my way!
I was so excited that I made sure to take quick peek, but I won't really have a chance to fully explore the contents until this weekend.
Yippeeeeeee!

KomodoHey- this is a really cool idea

Kudos!!
I read the first 12 or so pages, it seems there is only one box again...what happened to the other, or do I have to read the other 42 pages to find out? LOL

wolfieThe other boxes were either lost in the post or stolen by the people they were sent too.
Either way it spoilt a lot of the fun.

barobehereJust an update,
box number 1 was taken out of play when someone did not send it on.
Box number 2 was mailed out but was destroyed during hurricane katrina. It was returned to me with all the cards water damaged totally ruined.
Box number 3 is still in play.
