The Spotted Box arrived

This was my first time participating in a sample box and it was great fun! I was contacted in September by Tory who runs The Spotted Box on Etsy and at the hyenacart. I honestly had not heard about sample boxes before but Tory was so professional and provided so much information about her box that I couldn't resist becoming involved. I joined the yahoo group and participated in many discussions. Tory also answered ALL my newbie questions with ease and professionalism.

So, I decided to send in 60 samples (from PipingHotPapers and RunAliceRun shops) which entitled me to receive my very own Spotted Box free! What a great surprise when I opened my box and received such a great array of samples from so many different sellers. I don't even want to remove my items from their packaging yet -- just want to enjoy them.

Unfortunately, my 13 year old daughter took off with some of the samples and they didn't get included in the pictures, but one was:

1. a lovely zipper pull from lili lutu

The rest are posted here. If you want to purchase a Spotted Box for December, all boxes go on sale the 15th of each month. But beware, they are usually sold out the same day. If you are interested in participating in the Spotted Box as a seller, you can contact Tory at: tory@thespottedbox.com
