Description:

I have been so interested in trying a matchbox swap but have been too intimidated! I thought that perhaps there were others like me who would like to try their hand at these.

This swap is going to be International and Newbies can join. Seasoned swappers are always welcome but please make sure you understand that some of us are first timers.

You can make it any color/theme you wish. We will be using the small 32 count matchbox. The goal is fill the matchbox with items that your partner can use to make other matchboxes if they decide. Some ideas are stickers, brads, buttons, flowers, bits of scrap paper, ribbon, etc.

Since I have never hosted a swap nor made a matchbox before this is all new to me- so if I forgot anything please feel free contact me!

I will be checking profiles and any recent no-sends will be banned from this swap! Flakers are not welcome.

Let's have fun and try something new!!!!!!!!

It is my first matchbox swap and I had a look at Flickr. There are many examples. http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=matchbox&m=text

I am new at this but excited to join this swap. I went to sleep last night tossing ideas around in my head about what all I could get in a match box. You will be surprised when you receive mine.

OK, I am READY! I finished by matchbox and have already stuffed it with goodies.
