Description:

This is an International swap. Open to swappers with a rating of 5 only with at least 10 ratings excluding email swaps , NO "no sends", and NO late swappers...plan to send this out on time, and be sure you have a completely filled out profile(Sorry no exceptions to the swap requirements). You will have 2 partners. You are to make each partner 1 tiny stuffed animal and put it into a decorated matchbox (the small 32 match boxes). You can sew your stuffed animal out of anything you like (felt, fabric, etc) and can make any kind of stuffed animal you like (teddy bear, monkey, bunny , etc). Your animal MUST fit into a small matchbox (which is about 1.5" by 2"). Your animal does not have to be 1.5" by 2", it can be smaller...it just needs to be able to fit into a closed matchbox. Your animal MUST be an "animal" (any animal, so long as it is an ANIMAL).You are NOT required to cater to your partner's profile . And don't forget to rate your partners (remember you are not rating skill level, money spent, personal taste, etc....you are rating whether they fulfilled the swap requirements or not), and give hearts to extra special packages! :)
ONE FINAL THING (IMPORTANT): 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!

I love the thought of a tiny stuffed animal in a matchbox!! :)

enakitty 01/12/2008 #

Thanks for joining! I did this swap once before, and it was SO much fun! :)

Great idea - looking forward to making this! :)

I've seen a couple of flickr photos for a previous swap like this, and I was sad that I missed out on it. So glad you're hosting a new one. Can't wait!

enakitty 01/13/2008 #

Thanks for joining everyone! :)

Love this swap idea! Sorry I didn't leave a message when I signed up yesterday, my newborn woke up and I didn't get to read all the way down. Any chance you can 'un-ban' me from this swap as I think it's a bit unfair! Unless there is another reason? My profile and history are positive!!!! Cheers

enakitty 01/13/2008 #

You're back in debferguson! :)

Sorry to ban you...but I really try to stick to the rules to make it fair to everyone and to keep flakers out of my swaps.
Now go get some sleep after being awakened by the baby! :)

This sounds like a fun swap. Count me in. Thanks

I would really really love to join this swap, but I don't think I'll have 10 rated swaps by the sign up.

I'll join anyway just in case I do have the ratings by then.

debferguson 01/14/2008 #

Thanks enakitty!!!! This swap will end up in our little girls room... Very happy ; )

enakitty 01/15/2008 #

yes-frizzyhermione-you still have a month til the swap closes, so feel free to join and hopefully you'll have the required number of swaps by then :)

SummersLove 01/17/2008 #

Hiya! I signed up for this swap when you held it before, and the two matchboxes I got were perhaps the most precious things I have ever gotten :) I can't wait to do this again!

Craftycakes 01/18/2008 #

I like traffic lights, I like traffic lights, I like traffic lights......

But only when they're green.

chieffa 01/21/2008 #

Can't wait to start!!

sockerhamster 01/22/2008 #

I hope this swap will return later, as I would love to participate, but I dont think I will have the ratings in time, and Im a newbie. :) Have fun all of you!

enakitty 01/23/2008 #

sockerplinga-there's a very good chance i'll host another swap like this ...and you are welcome to start your own as well :)

bontkwagga 01/24/2008 #

How cute, thanks for making this swap! It will be fun :D

Baccarita 01/27/2008 #

This is a cute swap (forgot to write the comment at first ^_^ sorry)

AmigurumiNymph 02/ 2/2008 #

I think this sounds like a great swap!!! Yay!

Jennifer 02/ 6/2008 #

This will be fun!

momilani510 02/11/2008 #

I hope somebody does this one again. I'm a newbie, but I actually just made miniature versions of my stuffie that I just made for another swap ( used the scraps from my scraps, cause I have a hard time throwing anything away...)They'd fit perfectly in matchbox, so thanks for the idea! :) hopefully I'll get enough good ratings to do something like this in the future. Good luck to all!

craftycrocheter 02/11/2008 #

I was trying to see if I could make something that looked like an animal before I signed up, not used to working this small, so far it's going well so I'm in.

enakitty 02/13/2008 #

momilani510-this is my second time with this swap...i will be pretty likely to host another :) (or if anyone else wants to host one...that's fine too!)

mcall 02/13/2008 #

too cute to resist :)

Brighteyes1028 02/14/2008 #

I can't wait to start my box.

zigg13pra 02/15/2008 #
