Traveling Stash Box (es) - And How To Win!
This is so cool! I won the "Traveling Stash Box" from Shannon of NuNu's Quilts. Thanks so much Shannon - I've had a ball with this thing! Mkay - so here is how it works -
I won the box from her! So she mailed the box to me. I took the things I wanted - and filled up - well - 2 Boxes! And, I'll do a drawing here for you to win. Then, the boxes will be mailed to the winners (each winner gets one box) - and you take what you want, fill up the box - and mail it on - So The Stash Just Keeps On Travelin!!!
So, the box came filled with all of these goodies:
and I kept these goodies for me:
So fun!
Mkay - so I found a ton of goodies that I wanted to share - more than I could fit in one box!
So, I divided the items left from the box in half, and added my own goodies to each box!
Box 1
includes half of the items left from the box I received, and I added several patterns, charm packs, a honey bun, a Tuffet I made using "Simple Abundance", and scrap bags (Bliss, Kansas Troubles, Christmas Past, and some Fig Tree Scraps)!
Box 2
includes the other half of the items left in the box I received. And, I added, several patterns, charm packs, Fig Tree Scraps (almost a full Jelly Roll of Dandelion Girl, Mill House Inn charms and scraps and more), a honey bun, a Kansas Troubles Candy Bar and scrap bag, and a "Tuffet" I made using "Gypsy Rose".
How To Win
If you'd like to win one of the boxes - and agree to take what you like, fill it up, and send it on - just post a comment here telling me this: What is your dream - if money & time were no object, what would you do?
I'll announce the 2 winners of the boxes next Monday, March 28.
TTFN,
Kelly
If money and time were no object - I would love to tour the United states - all 50 states, to say I had enjoyed our country. Yes an RV road trip at leisure.

If money and time were not object I would help with much needed repairs at my daughter's families home and money for my grandchildren college fund. And go on the cruise hubs and I have always wanted to go on.
Posted by: Brenda | March 21, 2011 at 02:52 PM
If money and time were no object, I'd love to own my own quilt shop. I know, it's hard work since I already work at one, but you said time and money were not an object. Think I could do it on those terms and not worry about making money!!
Posted by: Joyce | March 21, 2011 at 02:58 PM
If I could do anything I would buy a house on a lake with lots of treed land. Then buy a small camper and travel all over the US quilting, visiting Parks, quilt stores, and antiquing.
Posted by: Colleen | March 21, 2011 at 03:06 PM
I'd buy a house in the Southeast where its warm and no need for a winter coat! I'm tired of winter.
Posted by: Laurie | March 21, 2011 at 03:13 PM
If time and money were no object, I would pay off the mortgage on my house and then renovate it to make a bigger kitchen and living room.I would also love to be able to pay for college for my 3 kids. Of course I would use some of money for quilting.
Posted by: Brenda | March 21, 2011 at 03:17 PM
I agree with the first person. I would love to travel the United States with my husband and 11 yr old son. To travel the back roads of the USA at our own pace, would be a dream come true. I've never traveled in an RV but it sounds like fun. ;> Thanks for taking me out of myself and into dreamland for a moment.
Posted by: Toni Anne Potter | March 21, 2011 at 03:31 PM
If time and money were no object, I would buy myself a cute little cottage by a quiet lake, somewhere warm, and quilt/sew my little heart away for all the wonderful charities that I long to be part of. :o)
Posted by: Becki | March 21, 2011 at 03:38 PM
If money were no object I would build a "family friendly" and yet, "quilt inspiring" lake home in Minnesota. Close enough that my children and their families who live in ND, that they could visit anytime they wanted!
Posted by: kimland | March 21, 2011 at 03:46 PM
I love this kind of giveaway!!! I'm cleaning my sewing room so I have lots I could add to a box.
I'd love to have the money for my stepson to return to college or some type of schooling for additional training. It is more than the tuition. It would also require $$$$ for his living expenses and bills.
Thanks for encouraging us to dream!
Posted by: Becky in Georgia | March 21, 2011 at 03:50 PM
If time and money didn't matter? First I'd take a long trip to Italy. No, first I would retire, THEN I would take long trip to Italy. Then I'd come home, but a nice RV, and hit the road, visiting all 48 (49?) states, in a very leisurely way. Of course, I would have my sewing machine with me, and plenty of stitching projects.
Posted by: Sunny | March 21, 2011 at 04:06 PM
If money and time were no issue, I would first see my DDs educated and then upgrade both of my sewing machines and have a steady flow of fabrics enabling me to sew for those in need of the comfort of a quilt. Thank you so much Kelly! I appreciate you!!
Posted by: WendyMT | March 21, 2011 at 04:24 PM
If I could do whatever I wanted and money was no object. I would quilt, take classes and make a ton of charity quilts. I would travel all over with my kids and husband. I would volunteer to help families in need. I would want to teach quilting. Hmm....I could go on... But I won't! Thanks for the chance to win. Hugs Ariane
Posted by: Ariane | March 21, 2011 at 04:27 PM
Travel, travel, travel! First, all the U.S Nat'l Parks and then some select countries like Italy and France and Switzerland. THEN, buy condos in the French Quarter and the west side of Maui, each with a sewing room complete with space for a long arm so I could quilt the tops I piece while traveling.
Posted by: krisgray | March 21, 2011 at 04:58 PM
Time and money were no object...I would absolutely have to spend it seeing the world leisurely! None of these tour bus and see Europe in 10 day deals....NO...for me taking my time and savoring it all slowly. If I want to spend a day at an outdoor cafe in Italy and just watch the people I would do that and not feel hurried to catch the 5pm bus! LOL (been there...did that!) How about you?
Posted by: Mary Flynn | March 21, 2011 at 05:27 PM
Wow, I'm so excited Kelly, thank you. I will be definitely paying it forward.
If money were no object, I would live someplace where it wasn't so hot in the summer and get myself a long arm quilting machine. Then I would not work and quilt on my long arm whenever I wanted. And where I lived would need to be close to a beach so I could spend time just sitting in the sand and watching the waves. And this cooler place would be ideal for growing lots of flowers in the yard.
Posted by: Carol | March 21, 2011 at 05:35 PM
I would have my own fabric store in our barn for myself and select friends. Of course there would be no cash register!!!!!!
and I love the idea of the traveling stash and would love to keep it going! So cool that you have started a second box!
Posted by: cathy erickson | March 21, 2011 at 05:40 PM
I've just found your blog and it was so fun reading back through your posts. Dreams are food for our souls I think - and mine would be to hire a housekeeper and cook so I could stitch more, read more, dream more. blessings, marlene
Posted by: Marlene | March 21, 2011 at 07:13 PM
I would retire early and volunteer in a 3rd world like country or area of a country for at least 1 yr so I could use my giving heart. Then I would quilt and bind all my tops and donate those to charity groups/events to help them fundraise even more for excellent causes that would help others who didn't have the money or time to improve the life of themselves and/or their families.
Take care, Leslie
Posted by: Leslie Legros | March 21, 2011 at 07:28 PM
I would build a log home on at least 5 acres of lakeside property. I would buy a fifth wheel trailer and go camping and traveling. And I would buy a new sewing machine and a long arm quilting machine and quilt to my hearts content. I would also help my children and grandchildren as much as possible with their dreams. Thanks, its fun to dream sometimes.
Posted by: Valerie | March 21, 2011 at 09:04 PM
If money and/or time was not an option, I would help all three of children pay off their college loans, especially my two younger kids who are struggling due to the terrible job market. I would spend more time visiting my elederly mother who lives in a different town but since I work, I don't get to see her as often as I would like and I would do lots of charity work in the town in which I live. Thanks for letting me participate.
Posted by: Peggy Reilly | March 21, 2011 at 09:08 PM
Wow, if money and time were no object I'd pay for my son's education and travel with my kids and quit my job so I'd have more time to quilt! Love this pass it on idea...I just moved to a smaller place and have too much stuff!! But new stuff is different...fun!
Posted by: Leslie | March 21, 2011 at 09:30 PM
Hello,
I am French and my dream would travelling all over the USA and learn skills for quilting through lectures . I would like to learn about the history of quiting , about the women who were quilting with the old clothes fabrics ; and really good tips for quilting too !! and I would like to see exhibitions of quilts .
I have no time to do this and it will not be a reality before long !!!
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Posted by: Florence | March 22, 2011 at 03:47 AM
If money and time were no object, my dream would be to go visit our family in Africa. We have family and even friends in four different countries there...Malawi, Burkina Faso, Tanzania and Cameroon! I would love to take a month and go visit them all, helping any way I possibly could to be a blessing to the locals! That's my dream.
Thanks for a chance to win the traveling stash! How fun!
Posted by: Anita | March 22, 2011 at 04:02 AM
If money was no object we would take a long dog friendly vacation.
This looks like so much fun. I have so many things to put into the traveling stash box (and see a few things that I would love to take from it at as well)
Posted by: Tiffaney | March 22, 2011 at 05:04 AM
I would go out and teach the undepriviledged to sew and quilt sothat they can help other to be clothed and warm and also learn to makea living to help themselves.
Posted by: channette | March 22, 2011 at 05:08 AM
Oh my.... if money and time was not an option my dream is to travel the world!!! I have always had a great interest in travelling. When I was a teenager I wrote to over 20 penpals from all over the world. I wrote to many of them (with good old pen and paper) for YEARS!!! I even was lucky to meet my friends from Japan, Turkey and Houston. My friend from Japan came to visit me two summers in a row. In 1993 I had the chance to travel (by myself at the tender young age of 21.. yes my parents nearly had a stroke) to Turkey! I still keep many of these friends today, although now its mainly Facebook.
I would still love to visit my friends in Denmark, France, Ireland, the United States and many more. Trevor and I loooove to watch the travel shows and there are sooo many places we would love to experience.
I would definetely love to participate in the chance to win one of those boxes and then adding to it before passing it along!
Quiltingly Yours

Interesting topic, if time and money were no problem I would pay off all the bills, repair home and children's homes, college funds set up for grandchildren, travel extensively (here in the USA and abroad) but also I've always wanted to have a fund in a global aid to help out peoples' movements.
Having injuries a couple of time where it was difficult to get around I can't imagine people's lives with this in 3rd world countries. So I would help by collecting and sending out wheel chairs, crutches, walking supports, walkers, etc.... perhaps call it "movement without borders". I admit my ignorance and would further investigate and implement My dream.
Jane
Posted by: Jane | March 22, 2011 at 05:25 AM
My dream is not altruistic. If money wasn't a worry, I would like to live for at least 1 year each in all the Carribean countries. After I have accomplished this, then I would like to do same in the South Pacific.
Posted by: Cheryl Bugelski | March 22, 2011 at 05:56 AM
If money were no object - explore America and stay as long as I like everywhere I went and/or build a beautiful quilt retreat with cabins, main house, and quilt shop on a lake and have quilt camp all year like Sylvia in the Chiaverni books and have world famous quilters teach. Ah, if only. Thanks for this awesome opportunity, it was fun to dream. Judy C
Posted by: Judy C in NC | March 22, 2011 at 06:09 AM
Thank you Kelly for my wonderful PIF win. I have already started thinking about how I want to pay it forward and who the recipients will be. Judy C is have a really good day.
Posted by: Judy C in NC | March 22, 2011 at 06:17 AM
I would love to participate in the Traveling Stash box.
If time and money were not an object, I would fulfill my childhood dream of visiting New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji.
Posted by: KatieQ | March 22, 2011 at 06:37 AM
What fun!! If I had the money and all the time in the world, I would tear down my house and build my dream farm house with a wrap-around porch. I would invest in a longarm machine and learn how to use it. I would travel and visit the places that I love and just relax. Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: Jen | March 22, 2011 at 06:40 AM
If time and money were no object I would travel around the world from quilt shop to quilt shop looking and buying!. At the last shop (they would sell the very best sewing machines) I would buy of of those machines that does everything...and then return home to use it! Then I could use all the patterns and fabrics that I bought in all the shops around the world. Oh I would probably have to buy a new house to house all my purchases...haha Good thing I've got a lot of money...in my dreams!
Thanks for the chance to win you give away!

Posted by: paulettte Doyle | March 22, 2011 at 06:53 AM
I think that I would see how many people I could bless with things that they needed. I'd love to meet their physical needs and then share God's love with them as well!!
I love the Traveling Stash box idea!!
Posted by: Tricia T | March 22, 2011 at 07:08 AM
Oh my gosh, Kelly, you are so awesome!! Thank you for being a good sport about this. Good for you for being so generous by making two boxes. I wish I could win one!! Thank you for the post, now I am off to blog about it and send folks your way!!
Posted by: Shannon | March 22, 2011 at 09:00 AM
I would pay of fmy kids' homes and those who don't have their own would. I would bring my DSIL home from Iraq where he is a fire fighter and buy an RV or 2 and travel to see the rest of my grandkids up north whom we haven't seen in 6 years. Then I would educate them all. Then would open a craft retreat so intercity moms and their kids could learn how to connect again. Thank you for always coming up with interesting give aways.
Posted by: pam duxbury | March 22, 2011 at 09:03 AM
I'd buy a long-arm to "play", then a RV to travel the USA with hubby for 6 months, then come home to quilt on my new toy. Of course stopping at quilt shops during are travels is a plus.
Posted by: marie | March 22, 2011 at 09:22 AM
I've always said if I won the lottery, I'd take my entire extended family on a very long cruise. Aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers and their families. And we do have a big family, it might take a BIG ship.
Posted by: Linda | March 22, 2011 at 09:35 AM
I time and money were no object, I would purchase a building and have cat condo's. All the strays could live in a normal environment until they were adopted out to loving families. Sounds strange but I love kritters!
Posted by: Debra | March 22, 2011 at 09:41 AM
I would definitely travel! I'd want to see more of the US and a few other countries - Ireland, England, Scotland, parts of Africa...etc!
Posted by: Bailey | March 22, 2011 at 09:59 AM
If money was no object, I WOULD RETIRE...I M M E D I A T E L Y !!!! Then I'd design and build our forever home with a big sewing studio and a live-in maid, cook, gardener... sigh... OK... back to work! I've got some great things i could add to that box!!
Posted by: Polly | March 22, 2011 at 10:02 AM
I would make sure my family was taken care of first. Next I would buy a place right on the lake as our home base so my husband could fish when we weren't traveling in the summer in our RV. Sounds wonderful - when can we start?!!
Posted by: Karen S. | March 22, 2011 at 10:47 AM
If time and money were no object I would be on the Island of St John in the US Virgin islands. I would either be lounging on the beach or exploring the island.
Posted by: Ann | March 22, 2011 at 11:35 AM
If money and time were no object, I would tear down my house and build a new one with a big front porch and new landscaping. When you buy a farm to live on, you don't get to pick your house.
Posted by: Mary | March 22, 2011 at 01:00 PM
If time and money were no object, I would move to a home on top of a hill with a spectacular vista and plenty of room for a sewing/craft room. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway!
Posted by: Stray Stitches | March 22, 2011 at 01:17 PM
Move to Italy with my family and immerse myself in the culture and learn the language - perfectly. Oh, and quilt my heart away!
Posted by: Susan | March 22, 2011 at 01:34 PM
I would love to move overseas and teach in an orphanage.
Posted by: Julia | March 22, 2011 at 02:04 PM
If money was no object I would like to travel throughout the world. I would also love a place in the country to get away to and relax and enjoy my family and friends. Thanks, Kelly!
Posted by: dawn | March 22, 2011 at 02:40 PM
If time and money were no object, I would turn all of my property into backyard habitat for the wild animals here in the Sierras. With everyone wanting their own woodland retreat, but no critters who were here first and just trying to earn a living, they need all the help they can get. If it were no object.
Posted by: Mary | March 22, 2011 at 04:17 PM
My husband and kids would set up a mission/clinic to help the people who need medical help here in the united states.
Posted by: Colleen | March 22, 2011 at 05:02 PM
I would sooo Love to win one of those precious boxes and then add some of my treasures to keep it going :)
If money and time would allow it I will quit my day job and just vacation all over the world with my family and of course buy tons and tons of fabric LOL
Have a Happy Sewing Day
Marta
Posted by: Marta antoine | March 22, 2011 at 06:11 PM
If time and money were no object, I would open a stitching/sewing bed & breakfast and hold weekly retreats for people from all over, only charging them what they could afford to pay. I'd make sure to also have weekly classes to teach more people how to sew and do all types of handwork. OH, if only money were no object!!!! Thanks For the chance to participate!
Posted by: Amy | March 22, 2011 at 06:19 PM
If money and time were no object, I'd pay off all the student loans for my children and then take a cruise with my hubby. :-) Thanks for the fun!
Posted by: Sandie ~call me crazy | March 22, 2011 at 06:21 PM
Im glad that you are sending it on.
In two boxes now!! how wonderful is that!
Shannon of NuNu's Quilts won it from me :)
Posted by: Debbie | March 22, 2011 at 06:26 PM
I'd open a quilt shop....
Posted by: Dandelion Quilts | March 22, 2011 at 06:26 PM
I'd buy 10 acres of land and build a house in the middle of 5 acres for my husband and me and build another house on the other 5 acres for my daughter.
Posted by: Cheryl B | March 22, 2011 at 07:22 PM
What awesome stuff you added! I'm sure I could find more than that could start a few more boxes :) I would use the money to buy a home (renting is over rated) and set money aside for my daughter's education, and take a long trip through Europe with my family.
Posted by: Kristy | March 22, 2011 at 09:09 PM
Wow! Isn't stash fun?
Time is already not a factor, and I dabble often in all sorts of textile related fun. If money was added to the pot, I would have more adventures visitng Native American Indian sites for artistic inspiration, probably own a library as I love books (the real kind), help my son and his family, and who knows what else! Thanks for letting me dream a little!
Posted by: Julie T. | March 23, 2011 at 02:25 AM
What a fun idea :) If money and time were no object, I would probably do a Europe tour. Just take my team, see all the sites. I have always wanted to go and that would be the way to do it in style!
Posted by: Melissa Corry | March 23, 2011 at 05:16 AM
If time and money were no object, I would retire so fast it would make your head spin! LOL Then I would craft and quilt and help the charities that I try to help now, but in a bigger way. I feel so guilty sometimes, because there are so many good causes, and not enough time to help them all.
A side note: I've seen that when you provide all and everything for folks, they many times don't appreciate it, so if I were gifting, I would make sure they had gone through some fairly rough times first. Sounds callous, but it taught me and my hubby a lot!
Posted by: Jacque Bruce | March 23, 2011 at 07:57 AM
Goodness wouldn't it be fantastic to go to the Quilt Markets and to the Shows. The Opryland Hotel? I am a novice quilter so the inspiration would be a catalyst no doubt. The travel fun, the quilt shops along the way, meeting the people who run them all and a batik demonstration. Couple that with dining your way along also
Posted by: Randi Gwilt | March 23, 2011 at 08:30 AM
If money and time were no object I would spend each day with my husband and son working to finish the dream house that we started in 1998. We would also take a few breaks to travel out west in our motor home and see as much as we could.
Posted by: Kathy | March 23, 2011 at 09:47 AM
If I had all the money and all the time in the world, I would travel, not work and create. :) This is an awesome giveaway, thanks!
Posted by: Jennifer | March 23, 2011 at 10:04 AM
I'd enjoy traveling and helping my family. I'd also love to create a sewing room like Nancy Zieman's! Nice blog and fun giveaway!
Posted by: Anne | March 23, 2011 at 10:06 AM
If time and money were no object, I would buy my hubby the boat of his dreams (one big enough for me to sew in=)) and we would spend all our time together on it.
Posted by: Sandy Narayan | March 23, 2011 at 10:43 AM
Wow if money were no object, I would travel the world, and then RV fulltime still traveling, and quilting. Maybe tow a trailer with a traveliing quilt shop on wheels with a log arm machine and everything in it too. That would be the best of all worlds!
Posted by: Ann Marie | March 23, 2011 at 11:06 AM
I would retire & buy a big piece of property & build a GIANT creation studio...big enough for my family & friends & I to all play in at once!
I'd hire a landscaper & gardener so the grounds would be beautiful. Oh yeah, guess I'd build a little house for me to sleep in too!
Posted by: quiltzyx | March 23, 2011 at 01:15 PM
With no money or time to worry about I would build a large log cabin in the mountains with a sewing studio for me and a BIG workshop for my husband...we both would be happy!!
Posted by: Karen D. | March 23, 2011 at 01:19 PM
If money were no object, I would love to fund all my six kiddos college funds, and spend my time quilting and gardening and traveling all over with the family. I would love to have my own quilt shop too:)
Posted by: Babette | March 23, 2011 at 02:37 PM
I would love to visit Italy,Bali and take
my friends on a weeklong scrapbooking
shopping spree.
Posted by: pammiejean | March 23, 2011 at 03:50 PM
Hmm, if money and time were not a factor then I'd totally take my closest friends and travel all over the world.
Posted by: Annie | March 23, 2011 at 03:52 PM
If money wasn't a factor I'd like a FAMILY Vacation with 4 brothers & thier familes,along with my 4 children and thier offsprings to Disney World and OWN quilt store in poor neighborhood so i could teach ALL those little ones to Quilt, sew, and cook! Free
Posted by: sandra | March 23, 2011 at 05:17 PM
If time and money weren't a factor I would take my family to visit all of the countries that we wanted to see, Italy, France, Egypt, Brazil etc.
I would also buy my wife the quilt store she so desperately wants to open.
Posted by: Kurt the Quilt Geek | March 24, 2011 at 06:00 AM
Oh wow! How fun is this? :) Let's see. If money and time were no object, first thing I would do is pay off my house, move up to the Dallas, Texas area where my grandbabies are and open a quilt shop. I've ALWAYS wanted to do that. And if money were no object, it would be a doozy of a shop! I would only have to work when I wanted to (remember money is no object!), so I could just quilt and stitch and take care of my grandbabies, and come to the store whenever I want. Oh my....a gal can dream, can't she?
I'd love to participate in this fun idea! I have lots and lots to share and what better way than with fellow quilters, stitchers, sewers that are as passionate about their hobbies as I am. Thank you for the chance! :)
Hugs from Texas.

Posted by: Caroly | March 24, 2011 at 01:43 PM
Oh my gosh...what a fun giveaway! I can't participate as I don't have a blog, but all the same I wanted to tell you what I would do if money and time were of no consequence. First...selfishly I would move into a home that was all one level, NO STAIRS, what a dream that would be, LOL. The house would of course have a beautiful sewing room with a gorgeous, plentiful stash to choose from. Then I would want to make sure my children and grand children were doing okay...not extravagant, just comfortable. Of course with money being no object there are so many people that need help keeping the simplest necessities that we take for granted and I would try with all my soul to do something about that. I'd donate tons to childrens hospitals...I try to do something about the way nursing homes are run to ensure our seniors were treated with the respect and loving care we owe them. Our veterans too need so much help! Oh...so many things worth striving to improve, including animal shelters. Ah well, you get the drift. As for the time, I would of course, keep some for myself but hopefully I would (and I'm thinking of a world in which health is not an issue either, LOL) give of my time and myself to anyone I could find that needed me. I would once again volunteer for Hospice and any other cause that I could find. So, there you have the jist of it. Would it be a wonderful way to live...to give freely of yourself and your money without giving it a second thought. "Perfection". Hugs...
Posted by: Nancy | March 24, 2011 at 02:39 PM
If money and time were no object, I would take my husband and son and his wife to Hawaii for at least a month. We've never really had a honeymoon and we've been married almost 34 years. We also have never really taken a vacation in probably 20+ years.
Posted by: Debbie Meyer | March 24, 2011 at 05:10 PM
If I had all the time and money in the world, my husband and I would retire and would start a non profit organization to help homeless and military vets and others in need. We are currently helping with homeless meals in our area, delivering pet food and supplies to low-income elderly and trying to help with a home build for an injured military service member.
Posted by: Pam VanCuren | March 25, 2011 at 06:48 AM
If I had all the money I needed, I would buy a Fabric Store and hire people to run it. I could go a pet my own fabric (best prices too) whenever I wanted.

If I had the time and the money, I would take my whole family on a vacation to Hawaii for a wonderful family reunion.

If money were no object, I would like to learn to fly,see that all in need were cared for, return to Steeple Aston, England, where I once lived, when my ex and I were stationed in UK. And find a cure for Chronic Fatigue Immune deficiency Syndrome.

Wow, there are so many things I would do. I would pay off my son's house and college loans and buy my daughter a house and pay her college loans. I would also pay my soon to be daughter in law's college loans. No help from her parents there. I probably wouldn't quit my job because I love teaching (elementary special education) and the people I work with. I might buy a quilt shop so I could go get any fabric anytime. I would probably also get a quilting machine. I think that would be fun. I would also probably support my daughter's animal habit! I would buy a vacation home somewhere warm large enough for my family and friends to use whenever they wanted. Many charities that also need help. Unlimited resources so little time! Great give away!

If money were no object I would like to take my dad to Sweden. That's where his family came from. My handicapped sister lives with him so his ability to travel is severely curtailed and when my mom was ailve she didn't like to fly. He doesn't have a lot of money so I would love to take him on a trip of a lifetime! I would love to win the traveling scrap box too.

If money were no object, a hard concept to get around, I am not sure what I would do. I know that I would want to make sure that my family was taken care of, help others out and probably travel.

Hi! I'm Nan from Pots and Pins and I started the Traveling Stash on Stash Manicure!! I was tickled pink to stumble upon your blog and find this post about the stash - and SO, SO happy the stash has continued to travel! I even noticed a few of the things I put in were still there! Thanks so much for continuing the stash and for now sending out TWO!! It's just heart-warming to know where the stash is going!~ I only wish I'd put in a piece of paper that people could sign their names to so they could see where it had been - oh well, next time! xo, Nan

I'd like to send all of my grandchildren and great nieces and nephews to college. That would be my dream. I know what a difference it would make in their lives.

I would love to travel to Europe, and do the train thing... and eat my way along...
What a fun idea of these boxes...I would love to receive this and how fun to refill it!

If money were no object, I would buy a little piece of land (about 5 acres) near the beach. I would build a pole barn so that I could rescue up to 4 neglected horses at a time and above the horses I would have a quilt studio where I could play whenever I wasn't with the horses, out on the beach with my dog, Pollie, or collecting eggs from my chickies or out in the lavender fields nurturing and smelling the lavender. Then I would end the day out in the hot tub staring up at the stars and thanking God for all my blessings!! Thanks for this opportunity!!
