Description:

This swap is U.S. only, sorry!

This swap is for a matchbox within a matchbox.

You will decorate and fill (1) one 32 count matchbox and put it in (1) one decorated and filled 250 count matchbox.

The other things to fill the large matchbox with are things that you normally use to fill the small matchboxes. This is to help your partner get supplies for their matchbox swaps that maybe they don't usually have.

The small matchbox should be decorated and filled to your partner's profile. But the large matchbox can be decorated any way you wish, so you can go ahead and work on it before partners are assigned.

Please do your BEST work on these and make them as pretty as possible!! No plain/ugly/messy glue matchboxes here.

Some ideas to fill them with:

buttons, beads, stickers, tiny erasers, sequins, rhinestones, brads, eyelets, charms, ribbon, and other pretty little things!

And when I say filled, I mean filled as full as you can get it!!! No half full matchboxes, please!

NO ugly/plain items. NO plain white, brown, gray or black buttons, only pretty colors and shapes. No punches. No foam shapes.

Please wrap the large matchbox with bubble wrap or ship it in a box so it doesn't get squished.

You must have been rated a 5 with hearts in at least 5 matchbox swaps to participate. You must have a rating of at least 4.95 to participate. E-mail swaps do not count towards ratings. I reserve the right to ban anyone for any reason. I will ban after the sign up date. No newbies. If you do not meet the requirements, but you are a swapper who goes above and beyond the swap requirements to make your partner happy, please message me.

Please make this package something that you would be THRILLED to receive!!!

Happy swapping!!

Please post pictures of your matchboxes to the swap's flickr group!

We still have a lot of time before the sign-up date, synuay, so I'm sure you'll have enough by then!

:D

I haaaaaaaaaaaate this, but I have to drop. Money is shorter than is would be before we had to pay over eight hundred dollars for an overlooked bill.

Sigh.

Next time!

Oh, that's too bad, Gayle, but I completely understand!
