Finally, a fun, easy, creative, high quality swap & it's inexpensive to mail!

http://community.livejournal.com/kawaiimatchbox/profile

Simply decorate a matchbox [or substitute it with a tiny d.i.y. box], fill it with kawaii items, & mail it off. kawaii/cute goods based on your partner's interests. More than one or two items, please. Must be of Kawaii origin! & this time, a little V-day flavor. ^^

These items can be a mix of handmade or purchased goods. [ie: Cellphone charms, button pins, magnets, bracelets, hair clips, friendship pins, sack stickers, clipped stickers, a small sack of glitter, a ring, fake tattoos, etc.] It's up to you. Please keep quality in mind. Give something you would also love to receive! ;)

This was inspired by Matchbox Fill Swap & is international. ♥

If you don't have any matchboxes, feel free to make your own! Either out of tiny candy boxes, recycled cardboard, index cards... It just needs to be cutely decorated. ^-^

i like that people are being more strict with who can sign up for swaps now. i totally agree.

greenwatermelon 12/17/2006 #

yeah, me too. :) so far, ive had really goodluck though. i mean, ibe only participated in two rounds, but still. :)

sc 12/19/2006 #

Question: Would you guys like this one to have a Valentine's Day theme? :)

anouk 12/20/2006 #

hooo yeeaahhh i'm soooooo in the mood for love ;-P

i wait for the theme before signing in. can't wait

sc 12/21/2006 #

So far everyone that's voted has given it a thumbs up! I'll set it up. ^^ If nothing else, those who can't find something kawaii lovey can add cute comic bubbles with sweet quotes or smack some pretty hearts on the box. xD Where there's a will, there's a way! :D

user5058 12/22/2006 #

yay!! I wish time would pass by sooner to get this one started ^_^

sc 12/25/2006 #

Me, too!! Which is why there is actually... cough another one... xD

http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/1673

I'm so happy that the new members were soooo understanding of the new rule. [UGH troublesome dead beats!! At least the swap wasn't ruined for the newbies!! :D]

Alexandra, & mrbwcat check out 100% on ebay & Mattheamade had several references including Etsy. ^^

Yay! This will be so fun!

danit 12/26/2006 #

I'm sorry you made it into a theme swap. I live in a small town, and finding small and cute things is hard enough without having a theme...

cherryecho 12/26/2006 #

there are a couple of other matchbox swaps going on right now that arent themed. you could check them out too. :)

sc 12/27/2006 #

Danit, don't worry, it's not a hard theme to work with. It's actually quite flexible! One can make it a simple kawaii matchbox & add heart stickers or paint hearts on it. Add a happy v-day type quote on the back or insert anything Valentine's Day related...

It doesn't have to be something outrageous like a Crux Valentine's Day Card release.

sc 12/27/2006 #

As a graphic designer, I'm sure you'd have an easy time with this theme! :)

zombuki 12/27/2006 #

I'm very excited to swap, I'm glad these are such a success straycat!

sc 12/28/2006 #

Brigitte, thanks!! Me, too! xD

I just tried printing out & putting together the patterned matchbox, since there's a printer here... It's pretty easy & so cute!! It's more of a square than a rectangle, but still functional.

sc 01/ 2/2007 #

♥ HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! :D ♥ Best wishes to you for 2007 & beyond!!!

user5363 01/17/2007 #

I just wanted to thank you again for letting me join the swap as a newbie :)

sc 01/22/2007 #

Wow! Swap-Bot has this great new feature that allows coordinators to remove undesired swappers after the swap start date. YES! Thank you, Swap-Bot!!

KristinaO 01/24/2007 #

Im glad bad swappers can now be removed instead of keep taking advantage of people on here. I have had to deal with a few people not sending and it sucks. Anyways, I sent my box off to my partner today. I had alot of fun doing it. I cant wait til the next one.

sc 01/26/2007 #

KristinaO: Same here, for my first two swaps on swap-bot I received absolutely nothing when I sent out $20 worth of goods---excluding shipping. The new coordinator editions are fab!

user3645 01/29/2007 #

This is still staying a Kawaii- Valentine's theme right?

sleepingrover2010 01/30/2007 #

I also 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

sc 02/ 1/2007 #

Lotus Collector: Yes! :)

sc 02/ 1/2007 #

To my partner... I hope you don't mind, I got a little carried away & stuffed the envelope as well as the little box! ♥ I hope you have a very happy Valentine's Day!!! XOXO

P.S. The tracking codes for my packages were posted @ the Flickr KMS website: http://flickr.com/groups/kawaiimatchboxswap

sheaux 02/ 8/2007 #
