Description:
Valentine's day is my favorite holiday and my birthday is in February, so I love hosting February matchbox swaps! the simple guidelines: For this easy, fun times, international matchbox swap we will each have just one partner. You will make your partner one love, Valentine's day, or February themed matchbox - the small 32-count size (approximately 2 x 1.5 x .5 inches). I use this template to make my matchboxes out of cardstock, but most swappers decorate real, empty matchboxes. You also need to fill your matchbox with similarly themed goodies. I like filling my boxes with stickers, ribbon, brads, buttons, beads, and other little embellishments. Anything goes, but make sure you send something you would love to receive. You aren't required to send extras for this swap, but remember to include your name, your swap-bot username, and your email address in your package. rating requirements: This swap is international. Everyone must have over a 4.9 rating to participate with very, very few no sends. New users are welcome, but I must ban anyone who looks fishy. (A filled out profile is required.) It is a harsh world out there and I want to keep my matchbox swappers safe! let's swap: This swap has a quick turnaround, but you can start working on your matchbox now! Remember that this swap is sender's choice and you can get a love, Valentine's Day, or February themed matchbox in this swap. If you don't like any of those things, this probably isn't the swap for you. Let's have fun! xoxo Bonus: download some fun Swap-bot Valentines here.

A little confused, if you are unrated because you are new but this is what attracted you can you or can't you do this?

hej! let see if i understood correctly. after our little box is done we put it in an envelope and send it right ? i am a little afraid that the box may be crash in the mail when we send it since is 3d. what do you think?

cheers

I found that if you cut a piece of cardboard to fit around the matchbox and then mail in one of those small bubble wrap envelopes it travels to your partner in good shape.

I fill my boxes quite full and then wrap them in tissue and mail them in a bubble envelope. I think they arrive fine.

One week until we start!

This is my first swap and I'm super excited. I know the organizer determines our partners, but how do we get the info by message here or by e-mail?

once the signup date is done, it will tell you that a partner is assigned, if you come back to the swap info there is a yellow box on the top and it will say see who your partner is...or who to send it to..something like that..you click on there and you can see name and addy, and if you click on there username it will take you to their profile...

Thank you so much! I will keep my eyes open.

When will I know my partner? It's january 27 already....

racheljohnson 01/27/2013 #

Ok! Partners are assigned. I am sorry for the delay. I was hoping a few new members would get their profiles filled out... But now it is time to swap!! Have fun!!

Forgot to add: I DO angel my swaps.

Two weeks after the send deadline, if you have NOT received and you HAVE rated your partner honestly with a 1, contact me and I will send out an angel package. Great!
