Description:
I love these matchbox swaps. This swap is international! In this swap you will send one box to one person. The matchbox should be filled with hand made stuff. It can be jewelry, tiny doll, hand made beads, or whatever you are good at making. It will also be nice if you will decorate your matchbox. Have fun, share with others. People with rating of less then 3 will be dropout, but newbees are most welcome!

This sounds fun!!! Love the idea. Do we have to handmake the matchbox too from cardstock? Or is it just the contents?

danit 12/ 5/2006 #

just the content, but you can decorate it so it can also become something, like a jewelry box, pocket shrine or what ever you can think of, but that is totally optional...

user4462 12/ 6/2006 #

forgot to ask what size matchbox are these?

danit 12/ 6/2006 #

standard, about 3.5x5 cm / 2x1.4 inch

Sounds fun... where do you buy matchboxes to decorate?

danit 12/ 6/2006 #

I'm guessing at your lockal supermarket...

ok so they are the little match boxes. You can get them for .50 at walmart right at the registers then come in packs of four for fifty cents.

Chel, yours is on it's way but I sent it a couple of days late. I am in the US so I'm not sure exactly when it will get there. I hope you like it. :-)

JaneR~ I have been trying to reach you to see if you have received my matchbox? Please let me know. :) Thanks!

JaneR 01/14/2007 #

Hi serene_serenede, no, I haven't received it yet. I changed my email recently, maybe you were sending to my old address? I'll let you know when it comes.

To Jane R:

I am going to re-send this swap to you. I have had a few things both coming to me AND being sent BY me go astray over the holidays due to a substitute postal carrier. :( I have already made you a new one and will mail it off to you tomorrow morning. I am really sorry about this!

Sincerely; Melody

Thanks ok, Melody, thanks for letting me know. I had a few postal mishaps over the holidays too. :)

Jane
