01-14-2010 Matchbox

I'm creating distractions! :) I created the first random quickie swap on December 23rd. Apparently, I've started a new habit. Oopsie! I hope you all enjoy these swaps. I'm trying to create a little something for everyone.

We will send one decorated and filled matchbox to one partner.

The matchbox will be decorated- SENDER'S choice. This will be my very first attempt at a matchbox, so be prepared to receive a NEWBIE'S attempt. :) Fill your matchbox with cutesy random things... again, SENDER'S choice.

This is not a high value swap. It is just so I can get practice making them... and get someone's actual opinion, lol. This is not for experienced, creative swappers (unless you don't mind receiving my FIRST matchbox!)

Because this swap is time and labor intensive (compared to my normal swaps), the requirements will be more strict.

You must have twenty completed swaps and you must have twenty good ratings. You must have been rated for at least one snail mail swap.

Please don't sign up for this swap if you don't know what a matchbox is, can't obtain a matchbox, or if you aren't sure what the requirements are. I've only SEEN one actual matchbox (thanks @hoosiergirl , so I can't answer any questions or help out this round. I'm sorry!

Filled out profile will be necessary.

Reasonable explanation for negative ratings. "Reasonable" is determined at my sole discretion.

Happy swapping! :)

Please be aware that this is a daily swap series and a new one will be posted daily (if not a week at a time.) They are available from the current date on upwards.

I also host "Happy Mail" swaps for established swappers, "Broke Folks" swaps for those of us who get in trouble for spending too much on postage (heehee), and "Kidz Klub" swaps for the kiddies among us. Eventually, there will be a group for each type and further information on our home page.
