Will I even use my laptop, realistically? I'm really starting to doubt all my plans :p

I noticed that there was free wireless internet at The McCormick Place. I had my computer with me the last day but didn't have time to use it.

I bought my box on Thursday (the 12th) and I got the products at my house on Saturday (the 14th). It was at my house when I got home from conference. I bought the $15 box of the oldies. Here is what I got:
Red, White & Blue Apron
Cookies Cookbook (which will be great for my cookie swap shows)
Baker's Roller
Leaf Napkin Set
Leaf Towel Set
Square Bread Tube
6 Season's Best Recipe books with envelopes (From Spring/Summer 01)
Yellow Stoneware Crock
Bar-B-Boss
The Pampered Chef Favorites II cookbook
Heart Shaped Bread Tube
Stoneware Trivet
Stoneware CarrierI think it was definately worth the $15 that I spent on it. I am going to use some of the items for the next Quarter Auction that I do.

I had started a thread a few months ago about Quarter Auctions. It is called Quarter Auctions, but am not sure how to attach the threads. Let me know if you don't find it and I will explain it again. Thanks!!
 
I brought my two suprise boxes to our cluster meeting last night and held an auction. I got most of my money back by selling about three things. I still have a big box full. Like Christmas in July.

I just got my box today!!!! WHOO Christmas in JULY!!! :D
 
Got mine today. I bought a $10 and a $15 box on Friday. Quick shipping for sure!!
 
I orderd a $25 and $50 boxes at confernce then combined them into one big box!!
 
I got my $50 box today as well! Yay!
 
I hope my box comes today. I didn't buy a surprise box, but FedEx let me ship my new paperwork home. It's been a week, I think it should be here today.
 
I over packed for conference and had two big suitcases. I shipped one home fed ex. The second day of wave 2 I had already shipped my suprise boxes home, but I went to the tables where everyone was swapping and bought several things with cash and shipped that home too. I need to stay away from that area. Way too tempting.

Now that was smart!

Well that makes me sad. I sent mine on Thursday and they said I should get it by Tuesday. Well guess what? I had my mtg tonight (Tues) and no box. I tracked it and it said it should be here today on Wednesday. no good today! I wanted to show off the trivet!:rolleyes:
 
I got mine today. It shipped out Tuesday, but I'm in California where it takes FOREVER to get things!
 
The box that I shipped when I paid cash instead of trading came in today. I'm going to use one (of three) of my stoneware crocks to display extra tools that I have for sale at craft fairs. I need another one because my tool turn about is too full.

The crocks were $20.00
 
It was $20.
 
Thanks Ann & Bev! I knew someone would know! I will have to look to see if there is anything else I need a price for! Thanks again!
 
ok what is the price of the #2285 blue tumbler set (4 tumblers)??? Thanks!

The other thing I received that I have no clue what price it is is a stoneware bread baking crock with the hen logo on it!

Here's what I got in my $50 box.
Let me see....
Double Boiler.. had to trade for this, but was very geeked that I got it.
Large Grooved Cutting Board
Med Cutting Board
Parchment paper
cake stencils **
yellow crock**
Kids Apron and Chef's Hat
Doris' Sroneware Sensation Cookbook
Turquoise Micro Fiber Towel
5 s/s 06 Season's Best
Toaster Bags **
Nylon Slice and Serve
White Bar Board
Twixit Vlips in red/white/blue
Tile Napkins 2 **
Leaf Napkin Ring Set**
Old Cook's Corer
Handy Scraper in cranberry
Rectangle Lid/Bowl
Easy Pie and Tarts Cards
Super Salad Cards

If any of the items with astericks interest anyone, let me know. Email me privately or at [email protected]. I thought the tile napkins were towels, which is why I didn't trade them at conference. I love the trading part. My friend, was a first time conference attendee and so I had to help her wheel and deal. It was a blast!

I got mine on Thursday, shipped it home, and when I got there home last night, it was waiting for me. So conference fun actually lasted 1 more day for me.

Wow, after seeing everyone else's I felt like I got a skimpy $50 box...I guess it wasn't too bad though...

Do you already have someone buying your blue tumblers? My recruiter wants a set.

I also have a white coffee carafe to sell and probably my leaf napkins with matching rings.

I might have the price of the blue tumbler set in my files at home. I want to say that it was somewhere around $15.
The unglazed bread crock was before my time.
