tourist matchbox

This is an international swap, because it will be fun if people from lots of different countries join this swap.

You will decorate a small (32ct, 5.3 x 3.6 x 1.2 cm) matchbox and fill it with goodies. The decoration and the filling must be related to the country you live in!!! The idea is that your partner will learn something about your country and feels like he/she has really visited your country! Please don't add offensive things and don't be too political, it's supposed to be a happy swap. By example, I live in the Netherlands, so I will probably make an orange or red-white-blue matchbox. I will fill it with things with wooden shoes, tulips, mills, bicycles etc. on them or orange and red-white-blue things. I might add a stamp with our queen on it, or anything soccer related.

If the things you added don't speak for themselves, then add a little note in which you explain things. If you live in the US and if you will be linked to another US partner, you can make a state-themed-matchbox. Your matchbox, since it is so little, needs to be STUFFED with things. For extra hearts you can decorate a larger matchbox. But if you pick a larger matchbox it must also be STUFFED with items!

Anyone can join this swap, because I think anyone deserves a chance, but I'll check profiles! If anything is doubtful I will contact you so you get a chance to explain yourself. I will angel if I need to, but you're all going to send, right?

The send date is only one week after the sign-up date, so please start decorating soon!
