Description:

This swap is for a decorated small (32 match) matchbox. This is an international swap and you will have 2 partners. You will send each partner one matchbox. Matchbox is "sender's choice", meaning you do NOT have to cater to your partner's profile (but may do so if you wish). You have two options for how you make your matchboxes. Option #1 is to decorate the outside of a matchbox and put something inside (you could fill it with little odds and ends, put a small gift inside, etc....just don't send it empty). Option #2 is to decorate the outside of a matchbox AND the inside (you could make a little shrine or just a pretty decorated box, etc). Here are the REQUIREMENTS to join this swap (Anyone who does not meet the requirements WILL be dropped from the swap):
I recently had a disappointing experience because of some "flaky" swappers. I am making the requirments to join this swap a little tougher to prevent "flakes" from joining . To join you must have a rating of 4.9 or higher. You must be rated on at least 5 swaps (email swaps excluded). You must have NO "no-sends". NO "Late" swappers please (if you have a problem getting swaps out by the deadline, this swap is not for you.) You must have a completely filled out profile. You MUST leave a comment below (doesn't matter what your comment is, it's just a way for all the swappers to see who else is in the swap). If you know that any of the other participants are "scammers" or "flakes" please send me a message (but please don't say anything about other swappers in the comments section for everyone to read). Feel free to send me a message if you have questions! Happy Swapping!

p.s. I didn't leave a huge amount of time between sign up date and send by date. Since what you make is "sender's choice" you can start creating as soon as you sign up if you like.

A Note About Rating: Please remember to rate your partners. Remember you are NOT rating their skill level, the amount of money they spent, their personal taste, etc. You ARE rating whether they met the swap requirements (sent by the deadline, sent a decorated matchbox, etc.). And don't forget to give hearts for special packages! :)

I'd be very happy to receive a profile related matchbox and also a matchbox shrine would be awesome!
BUT all themes/sorts are very much welcome :D

YooperHill 12/20/2007 #

I prefer matchbox shrines that are decorated inside! Not filled with little "things"

I love matchboxes!

enakitty 12/20/2007 #

Thanks for joining you guys!

Just remember that matchboxes are SENDER'S CHOICE ...you are welcome to request certain styles/themes, etc....but your partner does NOT have to send what you request! :)

Hi!

Would it be OK if I use swedish matchboxes for this? They are 46 count so they are slightly taller than US ones, the difference isn't huge but it's noticable. If it's not OK I can fold my own boxes so it wouldn't be a problem, it would just be more convenient to use the empties I already have.

enakitty 12/30/2007 #

Hi Basilika- I would suggest you contact your partners (once they are assigned) and ask which they prefer since that is a different size. Personally I would love to receive a unique matchbox like that, but I cannot speak for the other swappers. (Hope that answers your question.) :)

Basilika 12/30/2007 #

Thanks, I'll do that!

cafechristina 12/31/2007 #

I have to drop this one, sorry! Have fun! :D

enakitty 01/ 2/2008 #
