Description:

I may be in the minority here, but I actually still do shoot film-hence why I have so many empty film canisters. I do own a digital camera, too, but there is something I like about film.

I've seen all black canisters and some translucent ones-which ever you have is fine.

Anyway, if you can get your paws on 2 film canisters, please fill it with anything that will fit-buttons, beads, tiny stickers, brads, etc. Anything crafty.

You will have 2 partners for this swap. Send one film canister to each partner.

Please noone with a rating lower than 3. Newbies are welcome.

Get creative. You may decorate the canister too.

If this is popular, I will repeat it.

Thanks for playing!

I want to let you know that I will be sending you a thank you note via snail mail if you are my partner. I will do the rating on the site as soon as I can. Thanks

Clarification- You only have to send 1 film canister to each partner. Thanks, Rachel

I would love to do this. Can't wait to start filling up the canisters.

How odd, I have been saving these for putting things in and sending in a swap! Great, I'm in! Thanks. :)

Laura, I was so worried about yours! I don\'t work with purple very much. But just for you, it was priority!

if you want to, you can click for an invite, but send admins something that will help us see you have the 5 ratio. Perhaps copy and paste. :)

Hi Mary, just wanted to let you know I already used some of the really nice old looking paper you sent me to make my vintage matchbox. It was prefect for the vintage look. thanks so much!

Lisa, Just wanted to let you know I got you film canister. boy after I took things out to look at - I couldn't get it all back in.

Thanks

this was SUCH fun, I surely do hope it's repeated again, soon. It was a fun challenge finding things to fit, and hopefully lots of delightful things were "discovered" as they were opened. MaryB

received canister from "Hooper" in Australia, but I have NO idea who that is from the swap list - there is no other "name" in the package, and I do not know who's name from here sent it. PLEASE, if it's you, please let me know -

I DO wish people would write their "swap-bot name" somewhere on the packages, it's really hard to figure out who sent them - this is the fourth swap that this has happened - and nobody puts anything inside that identifies them from the name list here.

~sigh~ Mary - anyway, if YOU live in Australia, and your last name is Hooper, I got your canister - and thanks - even tho I cannot rate you because I do not know who you are!

Serienova and snarglebean your packages are on the way to you both. Hope you enjoy them! It was a lot of fun putting them together!! :D

Chinita 03/ 1/2007 #

I will definately repeat this swap but with themes-i.e. colors, items, etc. Similar to the matchbox ones.

Thanks for playing everyone! Rachel aka. Chinita

DDMaree, I received your film canister today. As I am a self-admitted beadaholic, I have to tell you you did a FABULOUS job of selecting beads for me! Oh, man.... from the black millefiori to the pink crystals and the semi-precious chips and the turquoise hearts that look like they were made of toothpaste and the iridescent blue seeds and eye beads and daggers and shells.... and then the cool pink lampwork one on top.....you outdid yourself! Thank you so much for everything and your kind note of healing and compliments on my blog. These tiny treasures are much appreciated and will be well-loved. Sincerely, Kelli

Barbara (sleeping traveler) - I'm emailing you, but wanted to say Thanks here, too. I received your wonderful package today. Thank you so much!!!

WillowTree21 03/ 3/2007 #

Laura you too!?!

Barb aka sleeping traveler, what a very nice gift! I am so surprised! Swap-bot doesn't allow me to give you enough hearts that you deserve! This is so wonderful! Thank you so much! :) I will post pictures soon (perhaps Monday, if not tomorrow) to Flickr and share your wonderful swap to the WORLD!

SueFitz 03/ 5/2007 #

Marion another wonderful film canister filled to the brim. I will definately have to go out and get some more buttons to try to do this swap again.

It certainly has been fun.

received Kimmie's package today - wow, I just love those beads, especially the chucky "rock" ones - it was SO much fun going thru all those things - I could not get them back inside tho, hahaha....

we got about 8 inches of snow, but it's nearly all gone now - and temps Monday should hit the 60's!

thanks again, MaryB
