'Anything Goes' Book Baggie Returns!

For the last few months, I haven't received anything in the mail or sent anything away.  So, seeing I've been unfocused and not receiving anything, this blog has been left alone for some time.  

This morning, after a week of no mail in my PO Box, I opened the little black door to find I had lots!  And right there on top was a blue parcel pick-up card!  Now, I knew what it was and am pleased to say that the 'Anything Goes' Book Baggie that has been away for its rounds around Australia has returned to me from Tasmania.  And just look at all those wonderful books inside it!  How good are they?

The Pencil case didn't have as much as I thought it would inside it, but that doesn't matter, it's supposed to be a fun thing to have a go at.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't; and this time it didn't.  Maybe next time it will.  

Thank you all for taking part in this book baggie.  I'll be doing another one next - as always - so keep your eyes peeled for when I put up that notice!  Until my next post... Happy Reading!

Mixed Favourites Book Baggies Returns Home

There are times when I have the fun of organising a Book Baggie.  Sometimes it's themed; sometimes it's not.  This one was a Mixed Favourites one.  This means you can toss in any book you loved reading and recommend to anyone to read.  I also included a little pink plastic pencilcase that was for any goodies that may be collected and swapped along the way.

When I posted the baggie off four months ago around Australia, there wasn't much in the pencilcase and the baggie was full ( and I think it was a 5kg bag).  And it came back in a 3kg bag bursting at the seams with books; as did the pencilcase.  And just look at the amount of books that you all sent to around to each other, checked out, swapped and packed back in!  The last person on the list - Juli2007 - must have had a little trouble with packing the bag as when I unpacked it on the kitchen table, I couldn't re-pack to take it upstairs.

There was so much in the pencilcase too!  From a mini-bible to teas, moisturisers, sunscreen, bookmarks, ear-rings, stickers (loads of those!), magnets and other cute things!  And the books were of a wonderful assortment!  I even got two of my own back... how brilliant the world works.  And the funnier thing was that I couldn't fit the pencilcase on the table with the books; and so had to take a separate photo of the contents... how's that for amazing?

Thank you all for taking part and for all the wonderful goodies that came back home safely... well, I do look forward to next year's 'Mixed Favourites Book Baggie'... don't you?
