Before I retired 2 years ago, I had someone order 10 boxes. Of course I got 10 heavy boxes to deliver. She was not home so I left them on her porch. A few days later I noticed a stack of priority boxes like the ones I delivered, near the office, and asked the supervisor where they came from. - I just had a feeling. - Now you know the rest of the story.

My daughter has a small business on etsy. She wanted ten boxes.Yes, you guessed it she now has 250 boxes. She is hoping that the post office will take them back if she delivers them. I am still laughing at her. When all else fails read the directions. LOL Have a great day and don't feel boxed in LOL

Oh Debby T, that was amusing too. We are gradually finding homes for the extras. along with boxes, I gave away an antique quilting frame and supports today. A lady already had her grandmother's but now her daughter is learning.

Yes, Yooper32, we are finding lots of things to sell as I am clearing out after more than 55 years of sewing and quilting. The game boxes are an unhandy size for magazines but they do work. Same for yarns and other such things.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

I have quite the supply of shipping boxes, but I forget & order more, b/c they're in the garage (I need shelves in my studio so I can keep everything accessible...)
