Description:

This is a repeat of a swap I have hosted for the last two years. I would love for this to be a HUGE swap, so invite your friends!

the simple swap guidelines:

For this easy, fun times, low pressure, international matchbox swap, we will each have just one partner. You will make your partner one winter, holiday, or Christmas themed matchbox (the small 32-count size, approximately 1.5 x .5 x 2 inches). I make my matchboxes out of cardstock (using my matchbox template), but most swappers decorate real, empty matchboxes.

You also need to fill your matchbox with similarly themed goodies. I like filling my boxes with stickers, ribbon, brads, buttons, beads, and other little embellishments. Anything goes.

You aren't required to send any extras for this swap, but remember to include your name, your swap-bot username, your email address, and the name of the swap in your package.

touchy stuff:

I celebrate Christmas, but I know many others do not. Everyone is welcome to join this swap without regard to religious or holiday affiliation. Diversity makes swapping more fun! Just know that by signing up for this swap, you are agreeing that you don't mind receiving any type of winter holiday things. This is a wide-open swap where all interpretations are welcome. Of course, checking your partners profile for their preferences is always advisable and a nice thing to do!

rating requirements:

This swap is international. Everyone must have over a 4.8 rating to participate with very, very few no sends. If you don't meet these requirements, message me and we can probably work something out. New users are welcome, but I must ban anyone who looks fishy. (A filled out profile is always a plus.) I also check addresses, so make sure yours is legitimate. It is a harsh world out there and I want to keep my Holiday Fun swappers safe!

let's swap:

Let's all have fun and start dreaming about the holidays! I always angel my matchbox swaps, so please let me know after the send deadline if you have not received a matchbox.

xoxo

I've never made a matchbox before, but have seen some really cute ones. Is it OK for beginners?

Absolutely! Beginners are welcome. I have a bunch of photos of matchboxes on my Flickr here.
