Description:

What do you think of when you think about spring? Is it flowers, certain colors, birds, baby animals, windy days? Now, fuse that together with butterflies and create a butterflies in spring matchbox. This could be flowers and butterflies, or anything else that reminds you of spring with butterflies mixed in.

For this swap you will decorate a 32 ct matchbox~the smaller ones~with a butterflies in spring theme. You can decorate the entire matchbox using whatever technique you'd like, just make sure it stays in the theme of butterflies in spring...you can paint, glitter, wrap in paper, ribbon, sticker, button, whatever you'd like!

Once the outside is all decorated, then fill the inside of the matchbox with goodies with the same theme spring and butterflies. You can put in brads, ribbon, stickers, buttons, papers for inchies, charms, any tiny handmade items made by you, colors they say they like on their profile, and anything else cute that you can think of to put in there, just try to put in a nice variey of items, not a bunch of the same thing and nothing else...use your own discretion. Make sure to fill the matchbox all the way.

This is open to ALL group members anywhere in the world. I'm giving plenty of time to complete this swap, and am giving it a good length sign up time so that hopefully lots of the group will see it and have a chance to join. I'm looking forward to making the matchbox for this swap, and hope you will join and have fun with it too!

Sorry I dropped this swap and a couple others, I have to help my daughter move and I'm pressed for time and money. But I plan to come back after we get here settled in her new apartment.

Happy to have you Minney!

Awww country girl 58...it's okay, I hope everything works out all right for you. I'm looking forward to seeing you back once you get everything taken care of...my thoughts are with you and your family.

Sorry...I dont think I will, I am trying to not over extend and will join fewer swaps...its a great one though!

I put this on my watch. If I can get it done in the next few days, then I will sign up. I sometime sign up and then feel so much pressure that I can't be creative. This sounds like so much fun. I had just said today that I wanted to decorate a matchbox.

Sharila 03/30/2009 #

Btw I will try and sign up for this after all!

Oh my goodness, time is getting so close. I need to get moving so I can sign up by tomorrow. This is goingt to be so cute.

I am so sorry but I just don't think this will give me enough time to finish this swap. I have a load of paintings to do, pllus spring cleaning and income tax. It sounds like such a lovely idea though.
