A scene in a matchbox

I love miniture things! This is going to be a great swap...I'm digging out my matchboxes and itty bitty stuff tonight!

Hi Marcia, it sounds like you are really going to enjoy this one!I have my matchbox and im starting to get a few ideas already!

Hi, can you please tell me what size match box? The tiny ones, or different sized matchboxes? I found an amazing one the other day at a antique flea market, but it's a lager match box?? Thanks!

After swearing off any more swaps after a few no shows,I just couldn't resist this one...I'm off to start as soon as my baby goes to sleep (though I should be making the dinner....)

hi any size matchbox you want will be ok,though the larger it is the more postage it will be,my box is a regular two inch one.I really hope we all get a box in this swap as my last swap i didnt get anything either.

I would love to view your samples on your blog - but don't know how to get there. Thanks Sweetpea

Hi my blog url is just below the matchbox picture where it says swap homepage!its called sherbutdip...go to the swaps category if you arent on it already ,hope this helps
best wishes Elly

this sounds like a lot of fun :) yay!

Hi! I'm new to swap-bot, but I am so psyched about this swap! I'd been looking for an altered art-type swap to participate in, and I think this will be a fun place to start. I'm going to get started tonight on my little matchbox!

Hi Wendyrae hope you have a great time,its a good way to recycle something that would normally be thrown away and im keen on any idea like that, Have done my box and would love to do another now!

I'm putting my ideas together now! I have 2 ideas, so I thought I might do 2 boxes...In case someone doesn't get one, I could send my extra one.

Hi Wendyrae what a lovely idea!thank you! i might do a spare also.If anyone else would like to do a spare just in case someone doesnt get one that would be great just leave a note here and i can contact you with an address to send should the need come.

I just finished my first box and it's so frikkin' cute! OMG it's awesome and it was a blast to do! hee hee

I'd like to do a second one, but am afraid I may not get time! I'll let you know, Elly!

sent my box out yesterday!

recieved one from wendy and it is awesome! thanks!

Im about to send my box,its packed and ready to go! :0

rec from thresa thank you and the job was good though the humidity almost runined it i thought the idea was inspired.If u want to move here just not miami unless you speak spanish u may never find a job orlando sarasoda r nice

Who ever got my box, (I'm not telling!) will you please post a pic or send me one? I was so excited to send it that I foegot to photograph it before I did! Thanks!

Just received mine from Stefani...just wonderful, really made my day to recieve it, thank you so much. Mine went into the post today so it should be there soon.....I really enjoyed this swap and I think I've found a new hobby...

Hope we can all post a pic on the photo slideshow, id love to see what you all came up with, do you think we should try a scene in a bottletop or would that be too small:0 happy swapping to all of you Elly

I made two matchboxes and had so much fun making them! Like mariannealice, I think I've found a new hobby, too! I like the challenge of coming up with ideas about how to make the tiny elements in the scene look real. I hope we all post pictures in the gallery. I can't wait to see them all!

My box arrived a couple of days ago and is absolutely wonderful! I will post a picture if I can get my camera to talk to my computer, which right now they aren't talking. But it is so cool, it's a little barn, you push out the matchbox drawer and you see the inside with tiny animals, a farmer, it's amazing! Rosemary did an amazing job!

Wow we already have two fab boxes on the photo stream,both are true works of art! i think im now addicted to micro scenes,iv just joined the micro mini group on yahoo and all i can say is watch this space there will be more swaps like this!

Hi, I'm leaving the same message in different swaps I'm in: "As I moved to a new house I didn't have internet for a while (too long I must say) and just after... we had a terrible storm last sunday and ran out internet connection :o( sooooo, today was a surprise since I wasn't expecting it until next week!!! I have to ask my swap partner to excuse me but I really didn't know how to sent my communication to confirm that I sent my items! Please Meghan if you read this (I'm also sending an e-mail if this thing stays on long enough) I just want to let you know that I already sent you my package. Sorry again.

I finished mine last night--it's neat! I made an extra too-so let me know if someone doesn't receive one. I loved this swap.

Thing is, today is the send by date--it's a Sunday and tomorrow is a holiday. I'll drop it in the mail, but it won't go out til tuesday the 4th. I'm sorry Kate! It'll get to you soon though, it's on it's way and I think you'll like it :)

Just got my matchbox from Jenna and it's awesome! I'll post a photo tonight! - wendy

Haven't received mine yet. :-(

hi everyone! This is a great swap - I love matchboxes. I have Teresa Atkinson and wanted to advise that for personal reasons I haven't mailed it yet. I will in the next few days and include some extra goodies to apologize for my tardiness. This isn't my style, but some health stuff has smacked me in the head recently. Thank you for understanding. Matchbox, goodies and cheer to follow! HGF

nothing so far...........

I havent recieved mine yet but know it will take a while as im in the UK.I think my partner should have got hers by now though as i posted it a while ago.Hope its ok.Would love to see more pics!

It's here, it's here! The postal system must have heard my plea. Thank you so much Laura D - I adore it

Let's see some more pictures in the gallery! Has everyone sent their matchboxes? If not, does the coordinator contact the folks who haven't sent them? (This is my first swap and really enjoyed it, but I want everyone to get a matchbox!)

i have emailed two people who i see have not clicked sent, have you recieved a box Wendyrae.this is my first swap as an organiser,I hope everyone has sent, if anyone has not yet sent a box please let your partner know it will be late.As far as i can see i am not able to see who is matched to who and i did think as organiser i would have access to more info.i would like to see more pics too and i really hope my box has been recieved.If you have your box please if poss post a pic we all want to see your ideas and please let your partner know it has arrived safely

Didn't receive one yet. Hoping it's on it's way.

Also, wondering if Kate received mine?

The last two pictures posted are fantastic! Thanks for posting those...I enjoyed seeing them! Looks like we can rate our partners now. It looks like there is just one person who didn't send a matchbox (or did not indicate that they did.) I am sending out an extra one on Monday. This was my first swap and I really enjoyed it.

I love the pics on the slideshow, Wow! i think these boxes are going to be future collectables! Thanks Wendyrae for sending an extra box!Im so glad you enjoyed your first swap also!

This was my favorite swap so far. I had so much fun making the box. and I loved looking at the photos of what people came up with they are really beautiful.

never recieved one myself though :( made me a little sad.

Hello everyone, it's me - HGF - the one person who didn't send hers out yet. I've been super sick and am just now getting to this. Never my intention, but sometimes life happens. I'm sending a package out this week and I've uploaded my pic to the stream of the great box Elly made. Wendy Rae - THANK YOU for sending an extra out. That was uber-kind and thoughtful. Thanks to everyone. Happy day and stay healthy!!!

Still nothing, Maria.

My "partner" never sent mine, apparantly. WindyRae was sweet enough to make another and send it to me! Take a look at the picture of my "Eden." Thank you WR! You are the bestest!!
