International

OK so its not a garden full of matchboxes.

Springtime is nearly here and you know that means spending afternoons in our gardens. I love gardening and love making matchboxes so why not combine the two.

For this swap you will decorate a 32 count matchbox in a garden theme and fill it with normal matchbox fillers in a garden theme as well. This includes but of course not limited to flowers, trees, leaves, birds, butterflies, ladybugs, dragonflies.....use your imagination.

You will also include with the matchbox a little note (doesn't have to be a 5 page letter just a short note) telling your partner why you love gardening or springtime or the flowers or vegetables you are growing this season etc.

Be sure to include with the note your swapbot name and the name of the swap so you can be rated. And be sure to rate your partner when you receive your matchbox.

This will be international since matchboxes are small and lightweight.

Open to anyone with a 4.7 or higher. No recent no-sends. If you feel you have been given an unfair 1 rating contact me and explain before signing up. Newbies welcome with a well filled out profile. This means more than just a paragraph. It helps if your partner can see your likes and dislikes such as colors in case they want to try and tailor it to your profile. I will ban if profiles are not filled out or anyone looks dodgy. I will be banning after sign ups close.

Most of all have fun and enjoy your little garden in a matchbox. :o)

What are mathcbox "fillings" are they purposed for mathcboxes or can we put anything in the matchbox that fits the theme?

ladyb 03/18/2008 #

You can fill them with anything really as long as they are garden themed.

Examples are craft supplies: buttons, beads, brads, ribbon etc...

other items can be charms, mini erasers, mini clay shapes, stickers etc...etc...etc...

I am sure there are many other items that I am not listing so use your imagination, get creative. As long as it fits inside the matchbox and it is a garden theme.
