Description:
For this swap you will be altering a wooden cigar box. The theme can be anything from AIW. Please stay away from the newer version, let's go for the older version, the REAL Alice. Box should be altered on the outside and decorated on the inside. Please include a handmade stationary set that has either 5 sheets of stationary or notecards, 5 envelopes (decorated in some way on the outside), 5 tags, 5 postcards and a pen. All stationary pieces should have some type of Alice image. Tie a pretty ribbon around the stationary set for a nicely finished look. This can be pretty labor intense so start early. There are a lot of digi images that would look nice on your stationary! Stamps work nicely too. Please remember we all like getting quality work. Flakers will be shot at dawn somewhat close to the Queens Castle.

a tag is like a card you attach to a present to put 2 and from on search it on flicker for some ideas

Sorry smashingpandora I was too slow on the draw, what wickedred said... lol

Thanks for 'splaining wicked!

Come on let's get some more players.

Let me know what is scaring you. Is it the altered box? They are really pretty easy. If you have a beverage center near you that sells cigars they will sometimes GIVE them to you. I know I get from TWO in my area, FREE!

I think the only thing scaring me is the possibility of International shipping, sending something to the UK or anywhere else besides US/Canada can cost me upwards of $20 easy, if I want to put the effort and time into making it, and good packaging.

I feel ya on that one Jester. I sent to Australia today to the tune of $19.00. Postage sux! I love the gal that I sent to though, she is remarkable! GREAT swapper so I guess I shouldn't complain!
