Note...this is for the slight more "off the beaten path" peeps in the group...everyone is welcome to join. Just please please read the requirements, several times.

♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣

Requirements:

  • 1 Partner

  • 32 Count Matchbox (Here are 2 templates you can use Rachel's Matchbox Template , Mirkwood Designs Template . If you have a template you like better that is fine or you can simply alter a premade one. Note: if you choose to make your own you must use sturdy card stock do NOT make your partner a flimsy matchbox.

  • The theme for this is Hauntingly Beautiful and although the interpretation of that is entirely up to you, this is NOT a swap for rainbows, lollipops, and My Little Ponies. If you think nothing about Black Roses & Red Blood, Post Morten Photography, Victorian Creepy, graveyards, etc. is beautiful you probably won't like this swap.

  • Absolutely NO glue globs, shabby looking work. Use your imagine...Take your time. Make something that you wish you didn't have to send off.

  • Stuff the box full of tiny treasures...NO JUNK. Ribbons, Buttons, Brads, Miniatures are a few examples but there is so much more. Pack it nicely and neatly.

  • Once the box is COMPLETELY dried. Pack it in such a way that it will not get crushed during shipping. No one wants to receive a crushed swapped. Do NOT ship this flattened for your partner to assemble. If you can't afford the shipping, please don't join.

  • Send on time. Communicate with your partner if there is a problem. Communicate with me as well. If you receive a matchbox that meets the above requirements you MUST rate a 5. ♥s are up to the receiver and should never be expected or taken for granted.

Please include a note with your User/Group/Swap Name.

Questions/Comments/Concerns? Just ask.

I am a little more confused about the hauntingly beautiful theme, if it doesn't include victorian creepy, black roses, etc.

Those things are ok @steamfireandice

I apologize @steamfireandice I wrote that in kind of a weird way. I was saying that this would not be a good swap for someone to join if they did not think those type things were beautiful. I wanted to stress that this was for a "darker type beauty" instead of "sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows" Does this clarify it a little better?

Thanks @Hoosfoos :)

Yes @Paige1900 and @hoosfoos That was what I was thinking. I have a friend who would absolutely love this swap then. Thanks for answering my question.

Is it alright if the matchbox is bigger than it's supposed to be?

Paige1900 09/17/2015 #

I think the matchbox should be the size the swap says UNLESS you clear it with your partner ahead of time.
