I feel like I’ve been neglecting this thread. But I’ve been trying to avoid knowing what might be in the box when it comes to me…! Looking forward to it!

I’m so excited! I admit, I still have shopping to do for Azzrian, but all of my procrastination has been good because I keep thinking up new ideas…

Azzrian said 2013-02-12 15:20:30 -0500

Im cool with that :)
I have done about half of my shopping, Ordered some things online that I can’t get locally but also hitting up our local shop today or tomorrow. Its fun because I am able to send a few of my own favorites and also learn about new ones not just in what I may receive but in what the person I am sending to enjoys! :)

Hey TEB-They are awesome aren’t they! They do this version of Almond Joy that is way better and fresher tasting. I remember you mentioning that you had a Wegman’s by you. They might carry them there. They carry them at our Wegmans. Its in the natural section but in the candy area of that section.

Any update on this box?

Small
CharlotteZero said 2013-02-26 19:40:10 -0500

I messaged TEB yesterday, and she says that she is hoping it will go out this week.

I haven’t forgotten :) Sorry guys! I was waiting on an item I wanted to include! For Box Two…I have been waiting on BOXES, actually! LOL

Got the box in the mail yesterday, and I plan on shopping for stuff to send out today! :-)

Awesome thanks for the update. Take your time. Shop all you want ROFL (she says knowing she is next).

Azzrian said 2013-03-26 12:07:36 -0400

Got the box today! Just about to dive in but SO excited!
Can’t wait to read all the notes as well.

Butiki Teas said 2013-04-01 16:08:51 -0400

Nice! Glad to see this moving along! :)

Small
Kasumi no Chajin said 2013-04-04 14:21:19 -0400

Just got the box in, and in sorted piles on the floor! will update here soon.

Small
Azzrian said 2013-04-04 18:23:56 -0400

Yay can’t wait to see what you liked! :)

Small
Kasumi no Chajin said 2013-04-06 00:16:45 -0400

Box sent on to Stacy!

Small
Butiki Teas said 2013-04-08 17:14:51 -0400

OHHH MY!!!! Wow, I just received the box and am officially the happiest vegan ever! Thanks Kasumi!!! Can’t wait to dig into all of this yummy food! Got a chance to read everyone’s notes too, which was very interesting to see how the items changed hands. I will be taking pictures of the final box for everyone. Also, I was thinking, maybe we should do a master list? This might be nice for anyone that is interested in expanding their food selection but may have not received the items or may have not participated in this swap. What do you guys think?

TeaEqualsBliss said 2013-04-09 10:50:35 -0400

OMG! Look at that! Neat! WOW!
Yes! I’d be interested in a master list! COOL! Thanks!

Small
Butiki Teas said 2013-04-09 11:02:27 -0400

I’ve already had the seaweed snacks and most of the sushi rice. My hubby was so excited for the sushi rice. I always pick up the brown and black rices, so this was a nice change. After dinner I had some left over rice, so I just dumped in some unsweetened coconut milk and mangoes. So yummy!

I’ll try to have a master list in a day or two. Azzrian had brought up the idea of maybe doing a second round with this box. Is anyone interested in that?

Small
TeaEqualsBliss said 2013-04-09 11:29:37 -0400

Sure thing! I thought we could get them circulating again – no problem! I’m still working on getting a 3rd box going, too!

Small
Azzrian said 2013-04-10 13:34:16 -0400

I am in for another round – obviously lol

Small
CharlotteZero said 2013-04-10 14:16:50 -0400

I would do another round. I hope I didn’t make any enemies by including an item with refined sugar…I know how us vegans can be. ;-)

Small
Butiki Teas said 2013-04-13 14:40:49 -0400

Talked to Kasumi and we are on for round 2. I should be able to get this box out next week! Yay!

Small
Azzrian said 2013-04-13 19:52:44 -0400

Awesome!
Is it in the same order?

Small
Butiki Teas said 2013-04-13 20:27:07 -0400

I guess that’s up to the group. What do you guys think?

Small
Azzrian said 2013-04-13 22:15:32 -0400

It might be fun to randomize the names!

Small
Butiki Teas said 2013-04-17 14:41:21 -0400

Any other thoughts on whether we randomize or keep the same order?

Small
CharlotteZero said 2013-04-17 15:23:47 -0400

I think it might be fun to randomize. Also, we wouldn’t have to worry so much about coming up with all new items to include.

Small
TeaEqualsBliss said 2013-04-18 16:12:21 -0400

I’m game for either :)

Small
Azzrian said 2013-04-18 17:54:34 -0400

I am excited for the next go around – I just found some new favorites to share!
:)
