Spring MOTM box will be starting in mid-February. If you are interested in joining, please take a moment to complete the brief survey below prior to January 31st. ***If you have not participated in this or other BIC traveling boxes/unicorn mail, please PM me prior to completing the survey.*** We hope to see and share masks with some new faces!!!

Some pertinent info regarding the NEW double-box-in-progess set-up:

We will have two boxes in process this time. We are currently discussing the box composition and will update once decided what works best for the group.

Two BIC'ers will start off the boxes and they will travel through the shipping order until they make it to the other person at the end. 

CA participants are welcome to join again, we just need to ensure we have enough participants willing to ship in/out of the country. This will affect shipping order; other than that, order will be tentatively arranged by region to help offset shipping costs for participants.

Thank you to all who joined in the last round, we ended up with almost quadruple the original masks, which allowed me to create two new separate boxes (I also added in the extras from the first MOTM). There will be a bag of extras as usual, you all are so generous and make this so much fun!

Looking forward to February:)

Thank you @itsfi for all of your help in setting up the framework for the MOtM, and your many helpful suggestions. The entire masking community here is grateful to you!

1. There will be 10 face sheet masks in the packet at all times. you can remove as many or as little as you would like; but there should always be 10 masks moving forward to the next participant. You may add in extras like eye, feet or hand masks, but they will not count toward the 10 masks (they are little bonuses😉). Let's just try to keep a good variety in the box, and if there is an ISO, please be kind and don't take it out as an extra. 'Filler' masks would be great bonus items to take out when there is an overflow. Really! Filler masks would be defined as daily masks, generally ones that can be found at TJ Maxx/Nordstrom Rack/etc. and/or are widely available. 
2. How do I ship? Padded flat rate Priority envelopes are great for this, and can be ordered for free on the USPS site. Any packaging is fine, but please take care to ensure the masks are adequately protected. A smaller package will encourage more participation, which in turn makes things more fun! Think cost-effective for those shipping internationally. 
3. Will this be open to US and Canada? Yes! As long as there is an interest and participants willing to ship, we would love to cross the border. This would be taken into consideration in the shipping order.
4. Any eligibility requirements? Anyone who is has posted regularly to the previous or current thread is eligible. In addition, if you have been involved in other thread challenges on a regular basis/BIC exchanges such as Holiday, Galentine's or Halloween/traveling boxes, you are also eligible. We love new participants, please PM me if you are interested! 
5. Approval: To be fair, a minimum of the person receiving the box and 3-4 others will suffice. If at all possible, please take into account any ISO's or skin type when moving the box forward.
6. Mask Guidelines: The idea is to share your Favorite/Great Finds/Discoveries Masks. Please be considerate and keep in mind this is to give others (and yourself!) an opportunity to try some new and different masks. Let's not send gross masks/masks we just want to get rid of - this is to share our love of masking!
7. What happens if the box gets lost? USPS provides a $50 insured value for free. If a box is lost in transit, you are responsible for shipping an additional box to the next participant. Declaring a $50 value ensures that you would be reimbursed by USPS in the event your package is lost; however this is a lengthy process and thus it would be your responsibility to keep the flow of the boxes moving by curating a new box and shipping it out as quickly as possible.
8. How does the order work? I will use a random generator; if there are Canadian participants I would need to take that into consideration depending on how many people would be willing to ship in/out of country.

Sorry for the confusion. My husband apparently brought it in and didn’t realize what it was and forgot to tell me about it. Will post my trades after work tomorrow

Hey Y'all!  Does anyone on this thread say "y'all"?  I do hear it when I go into the states, but I know it's not a given.  Annnnnnyhowww..... I'm in a mood today.  It's been an awesome day for a change and I'm rolling with it.  Bear with me here folks!  I got home from some secret Santa shopping and found out that the masks on the move made it to the Sault from the east coast and @Nickelliebear1 !

[quspork]

Looks good to me, @missjeanie.

[emaisgr8]

LOOKS GREAT @missjeanie ! Btw, I live in Georgia and I grew up saying y'all. It's VERY common here.

[GalPalVal17]

@missjeanie  looks good. You're so kind with all your extras 🙂

[eshoe]

A little late to the party, but looks great @missjeanie! @Nickelliebear1 thank you so much for getting the box out, especially thankful your health is improving😊

[rockstargina]

Looks good!

[ShortErica]

Why you no listen to me @missjeanie!?! Seriously, the box keeps growing!

[missjeanie]

lol I thought I did better this time @ShortErica !!  Besides... I want to leave the box just a good or better than when I got it! lol. Maybe there will be lots of fun ones at the end to shower @eshoe with!  She deserves lots of new masks for putting all this together!

[ShortErica]

That's an excellent point @missjeanie. Showering @eshoe is a great reason to load the box up!

[scott1201]

Looks good to me, @missjeanie !

Also, I feel like a lot of people say y’all but I’ve never been one of them! I grew up in Appalachia and I’ve tried, pretty successfully, to get rid of that accent 😉

[faeriegirl]

I say y’all all the time @missjeanie! The trades look great to me but you should totally take more out.😉

[l8totheparty]

Looks good! @missjeanie 

[lmaster]

Looks great!! @missjeanie

[kelloua]

Looks good to me! I haven’t received it yet. Is there a tracking # or do you need my address?

[eshoe]

Good news, @Nickelliebear1 is on the mend! Things are improving for her, thank goodness. In addition, she was able to ship the original mask box to @missjeanie. I would like to know how you all would like to proceed with this box; should we continue cycling it through as a second one? Should we use it for a spring box? I am open to any and all suggestions, most importantly I just want to do the right and fair thing. Thanks for weighing in!

@kelloua @scott1201 @itsfi @ShortErica @Shosh85 @Kim888 @quspork @l8totheparty 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  I really have no preference- both options sound great to me!! 😃👍

[quspork]

Apologies again for the delay in response- sign in issues are plaguing me again, ugh. But I agree with others that combining may be the way to go for finishing out this round! 

[missjeanie]

I don’t mind combining, Im not sure when the box will make it me. It looks like depending on how it was shipped it could be here in either a week or up to two weeks. @Nickelliebear1 do you remember which level of shipping you chose?

May want to keep that plus another 3 days for me to ship out and arrive to @kelloua in mind.
