Description:

for this swap you have just to fill a small matchbox (I use the kind that holdes 40 sweden matches,I think it's like 32 US matches) with any embellishment you can think about...buttons,beads,brads,primaflowers,sequins,little photo holders,ric-rac,3Dwords or letters... I think you won't spend a lot because if you use to do scrap or other similar crafties you probably have tons embellishments...!! please if you have a rate less than 4,5 don't join. International. You will have 3 partners and send 1 matchbox to each one. Newbies with fill profile welcome. Of course you have to decorate a little the matchboxes. for any problem,swapbot mail me Enjoy The Swap

I like this swap, I enjoy matchbox swaps in general. But I don't thnk I could meet the deadline becaue of other swaps I am already committed to and because of other things I must do by April 15. If you don't get a lot of people right away, would you consider changing it to the end of April instead?

RudeNun 03/22/2007 #

I'm with Sharon on this one. I really like your idea of embellishin' the matchbox. 9 days might be cuttin' it too close?

klissa666 03/23/2007 #

I can consider this option...20 of april as the last day to send can be ok?

alicepalace 03/23/2007 #

That'd be better for me, too actually. :)

Hila 03/23/2007 #

What is (approx.) the size of a matchbox? Just to be on the safe side... :)

RudeNun 03/23/2007 #

The 20th of April would be great :D Thanks!

klissa666 03/23/2007 #

size about 5x3x1 cm...

SharonP 03/23/2007 #

Thanks for moving the date, I think the 20th will work for me too.

I measured one of the US 32-match boxes and they're just a little bigger than that (by a couple mm -- maybe you were rounding, anyway!), but very close, so I think we are talking about a fairly standard size.

So, no color theme or anything, just decorate the matchboxes and put stuff in them that other crafters can use in their projects, right?

Will people please be sure that your preferred colors are mentioned in your profiles? As well as the types of crafting you do. It's nice when we can tailor our boxes to the recipient.

Thanks for setting this up, Klissa. These matchbox swaps are so appealing. I'm not even sure why!

klissa666 03/24/2007 #

decorate in anyway,just make it pretty. and put stuff,random stuff.as much and pretty and useful as you can.if you want to look to your partners profile to be sure you are on the right side,all the best

please mention in the discription that the matchbox has to be decorated . I received a non decorated matchbox from a newbie in an other swap and just because it wasn't mentioned in the description. Thx

klissa666 03/30/2007 #

nathalie,the description always contains a mention about decorating the matchboxes

Hiya, just to let my partners (jbtmykids, linda, and Tia Bel) know in advance, i'll be sending bang on the deadline for this one. I'm short of cash this month but get paid on the 20th, phew! :) Hope that's ok for you - i'm sending from the UK so you may get them a little after the ratings are opened up...
