    A few days ago Favorite Fabrics posted a note about trying the new flat rate Priority Mail game box size.

    I have an office closet full of every Priority Mail box size, except that one; as I do quite a bit of shipping.

    So, I says to myself, I need to try this, because the post said it worked great for bolts of fabric.

    I asked for 3, get that just 3 individual boxes, to try. They came bringing me 3 cartons, each one containing 25 boxes. So I now have 75 boxes. Whew!!

    I blame this on the quilting board discussions. I never would have thought to try this otherwise (smiles).

    Seriously, I have now posted here in my town a couple of messages ... in case anyone local can use some boxes!!

    It is all good, and my son is laughing and laughing, but he carried them in for me.

    Ha...I thought I was ordering "4" and got 4 cases also... oh well, I'm sharing with the armory so we can send stuff in our deployed family. You can really stuff the game box with a ton of stuff!

    Oh those actually would be good for Christmas gifts...even if the gift is small...put it in one of those boxes and the receiver will think its something big. LOLOLOL

    Hehe would be funny to put a gift card inside one of them....stuff it full of rocks or paper. Hehehe I'm bad. LOL

    LOL! If you get tired of storing them, you can bring them to your local post office.
