Soap makers Soap SWAP!

Thankgoodness! I wasn't sure how long it would take. You see what I mean about me not having the right size box

It worked.. but I think I am going to pick up the other size for return... just for ease of packing..

 

[chiknwhisperer]

no problem, I would do the same.

I haven't sent my box out yet. I've had it ready since last Saturday but have felt like carp since then. Went to the doctor on Wednesday and found out I have pnuemonia.

I'm antibiotics first time in a decade - boy have they gotten expensive! Box should go out tomorrow.

I suggest for the extra soap, if there is a woman's & children's shelter in your area, that you take the excess soap there. As a past resident of such a place because of an abusive relationship, it sure does feel good to get something special while you're in there to make you feel special.

I second that suggestion. I was in one about 7 years ago and hated it. So I know anything nice would help put a smile on their faces. I just took probably 5 pounds of soap to St. Judes house for women last week. The lady at the office thought it was just regular soap because they just had me set it in a room that was right behind where I came in at. I bet they sure got a surprise when it wasn't store bought soaps

I have my box all packaged up and ready to go to the post office tomorrow! I put in an extra something for all of you guys.

No need to worry smom, it isn't adding significant weight or bulk, so it won't affect the packaging on your end. Just something fun.

I'm not telling! I'll only say that it sticks to the theme.

Lucky you for getting to go on vacation! Some of our best in years past have been over Spring break. Unfortunately, this year my kids are not on the same schedule. Their only overlap is the Friday and Monday book-ending Easter Sunday.

 

[chiknwhisperer]

This will be our first vacation all together. Our kids have never been on one so they hopefully will be so happy that they won't be able to sayanything for a while but it will probably be the opposite lol.

I'm sure you'll have a great time together, chiknwhisperer! Our primary form of vacations are camping trips in our little trailer. That time together is so precious! Be sure to take lots of pictures!

OK, I got my package off today. Being lazy, I used a box I had at home. I had priced the weight online and found it very close to the $10 price, a little less for pre-printed and a little more for the post office price. Unfortunately, having the wrong box cost me an extra $7. Eeek! So, my advice to those of you who haven't yet packed and sent your boxes off, do get the flat box. It makes a difference!

You should get it in about 2 days, smom, which will likely be closer to Monday I would think. Please let me know when it arrives - and - no telling on my little addition!
