Description:

This is a repeat of a swap I hosted last year. We had 80 participants last year and I hope to do even better this time!

the simple guidelines:

For this easy, fun times, international matchbox swap we will each have just one partner. You will make your partner one winter, holiday, or Christmas themed matchbox (the small 32-count size). I make my matchboxes out of cardstock, but most swappers decorate real, empty matchboxes.

You also need to fill your matchbox with similarly themed goodies. I like filling my boxes with stickers, ribbon, brads, buttons, beads, and other little embellishments. Anything goes.

You aren't required to send extras for this swap, but remember to include your name, your swap-bot username, and your email address in your package.

touchy stuff:

I celebrate Christmas, but I know many others do not. Everyone is welcome to join this swap without regard to religious or holiday affiliation. However, I want to send out red and green stuff... and maybe some Christmas tree things... and probably some winter themed stuff, too. Just know that by signing up for this swap, you are agreeing that you don't mind receiving Christmas-y or other winter holiday things. This is a wide-open swap where all interpretations are welcome.

rating requirements:

This swap is international. Everyone must have over a 4.7 rating to participate with very, very few no sends. If you don't meet these requirements, message me and we can probably work something out. New users are welcome, but I must ban anyone who looks fishy. (A filled out profile is always a plus.) It is a harsh world out there and I want to keep my Christmas fun time swappers safe!

let's swap:

Let's all have fun and start dreaming about the holidays! I always angel my matchbox swaps, so please let me know after the send deadline if you have not received a matchbox.

xoxo
