We eat a lot of frozen pizza and the brand we buy has the box tops. I will start collecting them and will mail them along as I collect enough. They will be coming from Alabama.
 
I have Kleenex in my house ... and I don't understand why they don't have a box top thing on the bottom!I did find them on my Ziplock bags and Bisquick.Right now I have 11 of them, some Betty Crocker potatoes, 3 unopened boxes of cereal, and some "helpers." If they turn up on my kleenex boxes too and I buy more ziplock bags I will have 20 of them or more. Still not sure if I'll get up to 3 next week ... it depends on whether I can get my cousin in on it!Sheila, good luck on your move ... I think she said she has until Sept. 13 and I'm pretty sure if it's postmarked by then it's OK.
 
Lisa mailed today from Louisiana. Good Luck to you girls!!!!!
 
I'm gonna start collecting them too & I'll give them to my hubby's cousin that lives in Germany to mail & I may even be able to get you some from Japan if I'm lucky. :-)

Oooh! Hopefully I'll have my shipment by then! Now, just wondering WHICH box they will be in! LOL I've found in the past that things sitting together on a table can all end up in separate boxes! ;)
 
Oh sheesh. Remind me to encourage my cousin NOT to go with her DH should he get shipped overseas!I was at my friend's house and scrounged around for box tops .... found a Ziplock bag and three boxes of cereal ... By my best guess I'm up to 27 or so. Should have almost 30 by the time I leave for Colo. And for the life of me, I can't figure out why some Kleenex boxes have them and others do not!
 
Lisa, I am sending one envelope for each of your kids. I was able to find them at home, but if I hadn't, would have hit the box tops jackpot here! Little Cuz is going to a new school and I don't know if they collect then.

Wrote a message to each of the kids that this town is beautiful and I really hope some day their family can visit!
 
Lisa,
I would love to help your kids out! But I only have enough for one child right now. Oh....did I mention that I'm stationed in Germany!!! I think that will get them quite a few miles. I will send it this week but the mail does take a little while but it should be there by the deadline. And I will try to mail an envelope for each child. Good luck!

Monica
 
I just collected ten tops and got them ready to send for the first child on the list, Margo. I will send for the next two as soon as I have collected the minimum.
 
Lisa,

I am putting 2 envolopes for each child in the mail in the morning. There are a total of 60 box tops per child. Good Luck to all the girls!

Is there and update on who won and stuff?
 
Is this still going on or was it a summer school project?
 
The deadline was in the first post ... I think it was September.

I too would like to know if any of the kiddos won ... and if they got any of our messages. I wrote notes with mine.
 
I was just thinking about this today while cutting more box tops. The military packed the envelopes I had set out to mail and I STILL haven't found them!!! So many boxes, so little time! LOL

Don't leave anything out that you don't want packed..........in fact, don't even have it in the house! They packed the dog food that I had hid under a bed that wasn't going (and I told them not to pack it before they started) and they packed a bag of trash. But the best was when they packed three stones stacked together with no paper between them but individually wrapped plastic cups!
