Okay! Here comes a fun and very creative swap just in time for the holidays. :)

You will be decorating a 32c matchbox (inside & out) in a Christmas theme.

You will also create the following items to put inside the box:

1.) ONE mini Christmas card made out to your partner.

2.) ONE mini Christmas-themed ATC.

3.) TWO Christmas inchies.

4.) ONE hand-made or store-bought Christmas-themed item of your choice that is NOT one of the above items. This could be a bottlecap, a piece of jewelry, a tiny doll, a little ornament, etc. :)

If you still have room left over, and you want to, you could fill up the rest of the box with things such as beads, buttons, brads, etc. in Christmas colors. (ie; red, green, blue, silver & gold.)

This swap is international, as it should be fairly inexpensive to mail... EVERYTHING should fit nicely inside the matchbox!

This is open to members of the "Tiny Treasures" group only.

Must have at least a 4.8 rating and no recent no-sends in order to join the fun!

Ok - somebody's gonna have to "school" me. What is a mini ATC? I know about the size of the regular ones and am still an ATC virgin. This will be my first one to make! But I figured what a better time to try :0)

is 32c matchbox the small matchbox or a large matchbox?

hoosiergirl 09/21/2008 #

yes, 32 ct is the small - the big one is 250 ct

I would love to take part in this and although I have done ATC's I’ve never heard of a mini ATC. What size is a mini ATC? Please

I'm reading the rules again. I believe I read it better this time. It says a mini x'mas card and a mine X'mas themed atc and they are suppose to fit inside the matchbox. So I think they will be real mini. And of course the two (1 inch) inchies, that we know will fit. Whew, glad I figured that one out. I just forgot how to read, lol. Hope this helps everyone that thinks like me.

I meant mini (not mine) xmas themed atc.

I can do the matchbox, mini Christmas card, mini ATC and inchies - but I'm stuck as to what to do for the other hand-made Christmas item. I don't do anything else!

I like to make mini-ATCs a quarter of the size of a regular ATCs--this makes them 1.25"x1.75". This should fit just right into the 32 count matchbox.

OOOPSIE! Sorry, ladies... I have a BAD habit of forgetting to come to the actual swap page to look for comments and questions. :(

Yes, a mini atc should be the size to just fit in a matchbox without getting "stuck." :)

missychrissy ~ maybe, if it is okay with everyone else, I will make the last item to just be something pertaining to Christmas that can be store-bought or hand-made. How does that sound to everyone?

Thank you, that sounds fine... I should find something amongst the millions of things I have in my craft room!
