Thanks Dick - I'm looking forward to it. Looks like I've got time to take a nap before it'll get to me.

Charlie_W · Dec 13, 2014

Dick,
Thanks for all your time and efforts in running this swap. These are the kind of activities that make IAP a great place!

Found it in my Mailbox last night after being out of town. Had no idea what the box was... really had to scratch my head for a bit trying to figure out what I ordered.

Will get pics posted, and pass it along.

three people in three weeks, wake me next year when it gets closer to me!

jeweler53 · Jan 14, 2015

We have been doing about 2 per week with the "USA" box. Recipient 6 is about to get the box. That is one of the advantages of the local box. Overseas will take longer and Canada Post is horrendously slow with parcels.

I also gobbled up a lot of time not being able to leave my house

Life happens - glad you're feeling better.
I spent most of this past weekend in bed with a horrible cold - thankfully, it didn't advance to flu or strep.

hcpens · Jan 15, 2015

Just poking fun, really just cannot wait to see what the world uses for pens and stuff, besides someone has to keep the postal system running.

jeweler53 · Jan 15, 2015

This is supposed to be fun! We all just need to do our best. I just want to live long enough to herd this thing to completion!

glenspens · Jan 15, 2015

well when I get it I can sit on it for a week so help if that will help you guys out....lol

jeweler53 · Jan 17, 2015

I received the box this evening! I took pictures of what's in the box, what I took and what I replaced. Box it up and ready to go to it's next owner in Oregon tomorrow! Here is the tracking # 9405503699300478989387.

I try to post the three pictures together but it just changes to one. I guess I just have to post it three times.
This is what I got.

akingkubo · Jan 28, 2015

What I took from the box

This is what I took in the box. There is this wood blank that is labeled "comlete".
We thought it was the name of the wood but could not find what it is.

akingkubo · Jan 28, 2015

This is what I replaced. I took a fountain pen kit but I do not have a fountain pen kit to replace it with so I replaced this with two rollerball kits and a Parker style kit called the Skeleton key from PSI. I added five blanks native from Texas (except the Palm blank). Thanks for allowing me to participate! This is my third time to join an activity and it's fun. Thanks ya'll!!! Maria:biggrin:

glenspens · Jan 28, 2015

Akingubo ....oops camlete not comlete I got them from ebay with some other blanks and they were in a box market camlete ???? I don't know what it is.... just a good looking blank ....that box got to you fast, I bet we catch and pass the USA box....
