50 things box! EDITED!

This is a fun swap I thought of while making a list of my favorite things.This is my first time hosting a swap so please bare with me. :)

In this swap, participants will swap a box [no bigger than a shoe box and definitely not smaller than a matchbox]. This box can be decorated or plain, but it's really what's inside the box that counts.

Each participants makes a list of at least 50 [or more things for hearts!] that they like to do, or make them happy, or they just enjoy in general.

After making this list [hand written or typed], each person must include something in their box to represent AT LEAST 20 items on the list.

For example, I will be using a shoe box and a few things on my list will be: 1. music 2. Edward Norton 3. the different seasons 4. my sister

To represent music I will be making a mix CD of some of my favorite songs and putting it the box. I would also label the CD with a 1 so as to denote that it represents the first thing on my list. However, this doesn't have to be a CD. It could be ANYTHING having to do with music. Perhaps a picture of a music note, or a copy of the sheet music to your favorite song.

For Edward Norton, who is my favorite actor, I would include a list of all of his movies, or maybe the ones that I have seen so far. I would also make sure to label this number two.

For the different seasons, I might make an ATC or a collage, or maybe even include a deflated beach ball, a leaf, a snowman button, and a flower, to represent each one separately and then label each with a 3.

Lastly, for my sister, I would add a picture of us and since I think my sister is extremely funny, I would add some of the hilarious things she says. And of course I would label this four.

So that is just a few examples. I think this swap would be a great way to get to know the person you are swapping with, and also receive some fun goodies as well. It's also really fun to see how well you basically fit yourself into a box.

After finding an item for at least 20, don't forget to put the list in the box!

NOW FOR THE RULES!

• Please don't spend a lot of money on this. It should be mainly things you have around the house, or things that are fun to make.

• US only please. International postage has been draining my wallet.

• a minimum of 50 things must be on your list. Try to represent at least twenty of those things! But maybe more for hearts.

• Please no no-sends in your last two swaps. Only swappers with a rating of 4.5 or higher may join.

• I may be able to angel this swap but I really hope I don't have to.

I gave a month for the sending date because I feel it would give a lot of time to get the things ready! I hope you enjoy this swap and I hope I explained everything well. Sorry for so much blabbering, I just want to be as clear as possible.

If you have any questions feel free to post them here!
