Description:
For this swap you will need to decorate and fill a 32-count matchbox with all things halloween and/or fall. This doesn't just pertain to literal items like leaves and pumpkins but the wonderful colors of the season as well like brown and orange, etc.. Some ideas of things to fill you matchbox would be (but not limited to) buttons, stickers, ribbon, little plastic animals, confetti, etc..Have fun and be creative! Please spend some time decorating the matchbox's outside. And I would recommend looking at your partner's profile to see what kinds of things they might like to have the matchbox filled with. You can always send some extra goodies if you are aiming for a heart, but it is not necessary. This swap is open to swappers with ratings of 4.5 or higher. This swap is International. And I reserve the right to ban anyone at my discretion.

I am so pleased to be in this swap. Can't wait to know who my swap partner will be so I can check out her/his profile and see if there is anything little I can get that they would particularly like.

But there's a whole month to wait :-(

Still..I can start decorating the box straight away and collecting some things.

OK, I'm gonna jump right in and try my hand at this. I bought some matchboxes the other day after reading all these cool swaps. Sounds like fun :0)

That would be me, Hoosiergirl! Yes, I do hate orange, as a rule, but I figured I would get some of it in a halloween/fall swap, so don't worry about it! I'm sure I'll love whatever you send!!

LOL - ok Butterfly - I'm trying really hard to stay away from the orange - we'll see where this takes us. This is my first time doing a matchbox and i'm having a lot of fun! :0)

I wasn't too well last week, but better now and decided to work on my matchbox today. Of course, having tidied up my workroom, I was completely unable to find some special bits for deco-ing the box, which I have put in a safe place. Eventually, I gave up and went out to the shop and bought identical replacements. This means that within minutes/hours I shall find the original ones, I guess.

I have ordered another extra item which seemed to fit my partners profile. It's not here yet, and I have emailed the supplier twice. I am hoping it will be here by the end of the week, because being in UK, I want to mail out early.

It's a lot of fun doing this swap

My matchbox from Kim ( Earthtobella ) arrived today and it is just lovely, and she sent some super extras ( teas, butterfly embellishment, artificial acorn spray). The content of the box and the extras were clearly chosen with much thought..I will use them all with pleasure. Thank you so much.
