When two (or sometimes more) boxes arrive on the same day, it is the position in the mailbox that decides their final placement. The first box in edges out the competition.
When I opened the mail box this afternoon, this is what I saw:
But who is it?
The boxes (which are made of packing tape at this stage of the game) are so covered in priority labels that I can’t tell whose box is whose until I can get to the computer and look it up. This was an agonizing walk back to the house.
The third place finisher is the Dishrag Taggers!
There is SO much stuff in this box!
Thank you so much Vicky! There is even something for Ellie!
Since I can’t take just one, there’s more on flickr.
Your team captain (Colleen) will love her dish rag. Congratulations, Dishrag Taggers!
After removing the outside box, miscellaneous requests for money and the weekly Winn-Dixie flyer, I looked in again:
I still can’t tell who it is!
The Rag Taggers finished a single box-length ahead of the competition to place second!
Another box packed to the gills!
What sweet treats! (Seriously, see that tiny pot of maple cream? I might die.) I am really enjoying the things people include as small treats – y’all are so much more creative than I am! Thank you so much, Cindy and congratulations to all of the Rag Taggers! Captain Becky, you have a wonderful dish rag in your future.
This is such a crazy close race! Who’s next? I can’t wait to find out!
