Everyone can use a little bit of good luck from time to time, sometimes more than others. For this swap, you will decorate and fill a 32 count matchbox with things relating to GOOD luck. Ironically though, the last day to sign up and mail out dates happen to fall on Friday the 13th!
The included items can be made or bought, but please do not spend more than $5 total, including shipping. Ideas of things to include could be a tiny art or collage, tiny stuffies, miniatures, tokens/coins, stones, lockets, tiny books, etc. Be creative, but stay within the realms of the theme!
There is plenty of time to get crackin' on this, so please make this something you would like to receive in return and maybe carry with you, your car or give to a loved one. No one likes to receive a half-a**ed swap when they themselves have committed to the project.

* Please do not sign up if you do not plan to follow through. I can angel, but not for all if there are too many flakes.
* You must have a rating of 4.9 or higher to sign up.
* Please do NOT send items relating to popular characters {ie., Disney, Looney Tunes, Hello Kitty/Sanrio, etc.}. . .save those for another swap!
* This swap is INTERNATIONAL so be prepared to ship overseas if that's where your partner lives. I thought it would be neat to see what people from outside the US also consider lucky.
* Try to be resourceful if you can by using what you already have on hand.
