Description:

Halloween will be here before we know it, so let's have a bit of crafting fun in preparation!

This swap will involve time, love, care, your imagination and probably a few dollars too. If you feel you can't provide those necessary ingredients then please do NOT sign up for this swap.

We we each be making a Halloween House out of the large 250ct matchboxes. You will need 3 matchboxes to complete your house. Being a house it should have some type of roof, it does not have to be shaped like the one in the picture. You must decorate your house with a Halloween theme. This is your chance to use some of those cute, scary, fun things you picked up on sale after last Halloween and put them to use!

The drawers are to be filled accordingly.
1 drawer filled with candies/treats/edible goodies.

1 drawer filled with things like stickers, ribbon, brads, buttons, anything that can be used for crafting. These items do NOT need to be halloween themed. That way if anyone is having trouble finding small halloween items they need not be worried.

1 drawer is to be filled with something from your partner's profile that you think they would like. For this reason everyone please have a well filled out profile so that your partner will have lots to chose from for that last drawer.

I'm going to require that participants must have:
A rating of 4.8 or higher.
No 1s or 3s in the last 6 months.
20 mailed swaps. These mailed swaps should be for more than postcards or pen pal letters.

The conditions may seem a bit harsh but I want to try to ensure that there won't be any flakers in this swap.
I will be reviewing all profiles and will ban anyone that doesn't meet the requirements, or that looks suspicious.

If this goes well I hope to do a Christmas/Gingerbread type matchbox house next, so start thinking of your ideas for that too if you want!

i prefer not to have goodies or candy in mine. i am diabetic and cant have it. may i have it filled with something else? if not sugar free gum is good.

@bluecrayons the candy/goodies are to represent 'treats' for the Halloween theme, however as long as your partner doesn't mind sending sugar free gum, or if you work out with them some other item that would be fine.

When you say filled do you mean 1 or 2 things or do you mean "stuffed" Thanks

LongVacation 09/11/2009 #

By filled I mean stuffed. Since the drawers are larger they can accommodate larger items so it shouldn't be too hard to get them stuffed hopefully.
