Description:

I am hosting this swap for ArtsyFartsy with permission. I hope many of you will join as I heard that the last swap was alot of fun....

For this swap weรขโ‚ฌโ„ขll be sending a little critter with itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs very own adoption certificate in a little matchbox to our lucky partner for them to adopt!

THE INFOรขโ‚ฌยฆ

Everyone makes and sends just one critter/home/certificate to one partner!

The critter should be little, made of plastic, no larger than 2 inches, and shouldn't cost more than $2. However, due to requests, you're also welcome to make your own critter out of polymer clay if you'd like.

Make the little critter a home from a small matchbox (32ct) for it to travel/live in.

Now, for the fun part... You get to name the little critter & make it a personalized adoption certificate (approx 3x5 inches) to include: It's Name, Birth Date, Gender & Favorite Things.

Example critter is a plastic goldfish...

Name: Josef William, Jr.

Birthday: August 12, 1979

Gender: Male

Favorites: Bubble Gum, Sky Diving & Playing Wii

Bonus... Draw a picture of the little guy on the certificate or take a little photo and glue it on. I would recommend hearts if you can tell extra effort was made, if other goodies were included, or if the matchbox house is especially nice.

OPEN TO NEWBIES AND INTERNATIONAL SWAPPERS *Shipping will be cheap - and then you have the possibility of adopting a critter from overseas!!

CRITTER ADOPTION SWAP GUIDELINES:

1} Newbies - you have to fill out your profile - ask me if you need to know how.

2} If you're not a newbie, you'll need at least a 4.0.

3} You CAN'T request a certain animal - it's a surprise and your lovely partner gets to decide what you get to adopt! :O)

Questions? Just PM me.

I'd love to join this swap, but I have no idea how I would go about finding a critter for it.

You can make them out of sculptey or fimo clay and then bake them. Or you can get them from the quarter machines at grocery stores, or check toy stores... any critter that's small enough to fit into a matchbox will work.

I ended up using a pink worm.. that used to be off of a necklace or something.a little charm. but it fits perfectly inside a match box.

I'm so in on this one! Always looking for the special "pet"... if someone happens to have a fairy they want to send my way... i'll take it. LOL But this will be so much fun! HUGS to all Rhonda
