Description:

We've all got em... A plethora of sturdy dept store jewelry boxes lying around. Well, if you are a container junkie like I am, pull them out and get to work!

How happy will Mother Nature be when she reads this swap and sees that we are recycling trash into a really personal treasure for your partner to keep some special stuff i!

And it's a FREEBIE! No need to buy a thing - assuming you have craft supplies. Great way to use up those loose findings that need a craft to attach itself to.

If you're short on boxes, try your Altoids tins, or other little boxes, bottles, jars, or tins that deserve a second life and that speak to your talents. No plastic containers though.
Plastic is YUCK!

You will create three boxes for your partner. Alter them up with a cool combination of your style and your partner's profile.

Newbies are welcome here, but anyone with less than a 5.0 rating will be plunged unless you email me with a really sad story that I can't help but fall for. INTERNATIONAL WELCOME! Since the craft is free and light to ship, I think we can splurge a little on postage if needed.

Have fun and email me with any questions.

Welcome new swappers! We're up to five now. Hope you're ready to get started this Friday when the swap closes and we get assigned our partners. Have fun and I'll be in touch. Kathleen in PA

Very cool and very colorful! Who wouldn't want to get one of those? Watch for your assigned partner this weekend. Time to sign up ends tomorrow.

Hey everyone- It's time to swap! I couldn't figure out how to email everyone from the swap-bot site(other than the reminder to "bcc" when I do) so I'm leaving the "launch email" here - hope everyone gets it. I know you'll be creative or you wouldn't be here and if you can, please post some photos of your gifts (and remember, they are gifts!) If your gift was sent on time, please rate a "5". Hearts are for over the top delight. Let me know if you have any questions or concens. Glue sticks at the ready? Craft on!
