Description:

OK I really enjoyed the All Things Green Matchbox fill last month and I have just been out at the craft shop getting things for another swap and saw some really lovely things in oranges and yellows and thought how great it would be to do this theme for a matchbox fill.

Simply get a small matchbox (contains around 30 matches), decorate it and fill it with anything yellow and orange, any shade of yellow and any shade of orange. You can add buttons, ribbons, beads, card gems, whatever you want to really. (Photo shown is my all things green matchbox swap).

This Swap is International and open to anyone, but anyone with less than a 4.5 or 'no sends' please email me first.

Your profile must be filled out, otherwise you will automatically be banned.

Edited to add: Please remember to give your partner plenty of time for the matchbox to reach its destination, some will be travelling far overseas and can take a while to travel.

Please do ensure you message your partner and me if you haven't received your matchbox before automatically rating a 1, there could be a perfectly good explanation and it's just good manners to ask rather than assuming the worst and slapping them with a 1. If you receive your matchbox please leave a message on here telling your partner and ensure you rate a 5, it doesn't really matter whether or not you like the items that are inside, what matters is that you received. You can always exchange those items you don't like in another swap.

Remember Karma is a great thing.

Dragonfly, I recognised you and I'm so glad you've joined.

I love those matchbox swaps. they make you creative and it is always fun to recieve.

HeideC 04/27/2007 #

Is there somewhere you can buy plain matchboxes? Or a full size template? I think I would like to try one of these swaps, but I cant find matchboxes anymore...and the kind you buy at Kroger are just tooooooo tacky.

Cinnimini 04/27/2007 #

I got mine at a dollar store. They had all sorts of sizes of boxed matches but I got the 32 matches size. :) hope thats right.

Heather71 04/27/2007 #

Yes that's the right size Cinnimini :)

This is my first matchbox swap. It seems a bit unreal, here at the outset, that I will be able to find more than one or two things tiny enough to fit inside of this small item. But I'm game!

Heather71 04/28/2007 #

Happy swapping everyone. I have emailed you all with a note about leaving plenty of time for the swap to arrive before rating your partner. Remember someone living overseas that may send on the final day, this item is highly unlikely to arrive by the time the ratings appear.

If there is a problem please email me and your swap partner first.

Cinnimini 04/28/2007 #

So should we expect to get our partners sometime today in our email? :) ~is excited~
