***PLEASE NO FLAKERS! THIS IS KIND OF A BIG PROJECT SO NO 1 RATINGS IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS AND HAVE AT LEAST 2 MAIL TYPE RATINGS FOR NEWBIES. MESSAGE ME WITH ANY CONCERNS. I WANT THIS TO BE A LOT OF FUN AND EVERYONE THAT JOINS GETS SOMETHING GREAT IN RETURN!!! :) ***

I keep seeing those plain chinese take-out boxes at the craft stores and thought it would be fun to alter/decorate them.

In this swap you will have one partner. Get a take-out box (medium sized - it says it on the bottom) and decorate it. You could decorate it with scrapbook paper, paint, glitter, ribbons, images, buttons, etc. Please take your time and make it really special and beautiful!! :)

Finally, look at your partners profile and add a surprise to put on the inside of the box before you send it. Don't forget to put your name and the name of the swap in there so that they can rate you. Extra surprises might even earn a heart for yourself.....

This will be a regional swap because of the size of the package and cost of the postage. If this swap is successful I will do another one like this using a different kind of container. I was thinking of those cute paint can containers also sold in the craft stores. Sound fun? I hope so!

Go ahead and begin your project. You only need your partners info for the surprise inside. Please message me with any comments or questions. This is the first swap that I'm hosting so I would welcome any comments or feedback. I will also check all profiles to make sure that no one is a flaker!!

Lets have some fun!!!

Darn, I was thinking about this type of a swap too! I even bought the boxes, so maybe I'll join when I get some other swaps out of the way. I'm definitely Watching this one though!

I liked these boxes so I got a couple, on a really good sale, not really knowing what I was going to do with them. Now I know! I'm in, should be fun.

I love this idea! It's on watch for now...while I clear my "plate"!

I love the paint cans, too! That's a great idea!

kellylynn9 08/22/2009 #

paint cans would be fun too. I bought one of those to play with.

I have several of these that are not marked. Can you please give a rough size measurement?? Thank you!

P.S. Is this senders choice for decoration, so we can start now, and profile for the inside??

kellylynn9 08/23/2009 #

Yes, go ahead and start now. The only thing to worry about concerning the profile is the surprise inside. My box measures about 4" X 4" at the top and of course a bit smaller at the bottom. Does that help?

homeandheart 08/23/2009 #

It does! Thank you!!
