Round Two!!!

It seems oddly appropriate (perhaps even fulfilling for Jennifer and me) that our box for Round Two of the project starts on its 3-month journey the same week the first two lots from Round One have gone up on eBay.

Box Two and its chaperon/mascot - Courage Tiger from Beads of Courage - took a trip to the United States Post Office in El Paso, Texas, this morning. We won't reveal their first destination until tomorrow, however.

Today is our chance to show you what treasures we were able to fill our box with, thanks to our wonderful donors. A picture says a thousand words, so rather than give you a long narrative, here we go:

Artisan Clay (Kristie Roeder)

Beads Forever (Linda Roberts)

 BeadSmith/Helby Imports

 Lana-Bead (Lana May)

M-ixes Jewelry (Marjorie Ixes)

 

 

 

Sand Fibers (Carol Dean Sharpe)

 

 

 

 

The Hole Bead Shoppe (Kelli Burns)

 

 

 

 

Tradewinds Studios (Sheila Hoag)

 

 

 

Van Beads (Jennifer Van Benschoten)

 

 

Fully packed, the large USPS Priority Mail box weighed in at 10.6 pounds. I wonder how much it will weigh when it returns to Anthony, New Mexico, in April....

I want to point out that we already have a good starting point for Round Three.  Our wonderful donors sent more than we could possibly fit into one box, so we held some treasures back.
