Description:
For those of you who love Altered Matchboxes and Dotees, this swap is for you. I know there are a lot of you out there so this should be fun. You will make the traditional 3-6" dotee plus a tail and hanger. Dotee needs an altered matchbox attached as a backpack (can be the same or different theme as the dotee). The backpack and dotee are your choice of theme, color, etc. The matchbox should be filled with at least 5 different goodies that your partner could use for other swaps. Please make them nice quality. You must have a rating of 4.8 or higher and done at least 10 regular mail swaps. No 1's or 3's in the last 6 months. If you feel you were unfairly rated, email me. I will consider on a case by case basis. Please have a full profile so that your partner can get to know you. After all that is part of the fun isn't it? Anyone who seems ify will be banned. Lastly, thanks for reading and have fun!!

I haven't tried matchboxes yet. These swaps are getting too hard for me. I'll just wait for others that I can do.

I love creating Mathboxes, Dotee's are so-so. I'm leaving this one on my watchlist and will practice first before committing.

I just made and posted a PDF download matchbox template that you can use to make an envelope-style matchbox. You can download it on the Swap-bot blog here. It might work well as the backpack matchbox. Let me know if you have any questions. xoxo
