Brown Paper Package

We picked up our last bit of luggage this morning.  After Christmas we realized that it would be very difficult to pack and carry everything we had back to Arizona with us, so we mailed ourselves a package.  It was like a late Christmas gift opening it up and remembering all the things we put inside.


We were a little nervous upon receiving the package (the lady at the post office actually told Corey, "I hope you don't have anything fragile in there" while handing him the battered box).


Below you will see why.  Our box sure went through the wringer to get here!  The box had two holes in the top and was ripping at the side (I almost lost my dye pack--part of a sweet gift from my sisters full of random craft stuff) and the brown paper wrapping was in tatters.

It would be fun knowing how this happened...

Thanks to Larry and his bubble wrapping job this ceramic jar (another part of my sister's gift) made it intact.  It's a Christmas miracle!

Moral of the story, if you have something fragile don't use the post office unless you have a skilled bubble wrapper available.
