Description:

This is the first in what will be a series of twelve 32-count matchbox swaps, themed on the colors. The series will be as follows:

March is Red
April is Orange
May is Yellow
June is Green
July is Blue
August is Purple
September is Pink
October is Black
November is White
December is Gold
January is Silver
February is Brown/beige tones

You do not have to commit to all of the swaps. Join only the ones you have time to do. But wouldn't it be cool to have the whole series to put out somewhere as a collection? And this way, you have the colors ahead of time, so if you'd like to work ahead, you certainly can! Very simple swaps...make one 32-count matchbox, decorated with the color of the month as the main color and filled with goodies featuring that color. You can use other colors on and in the matchbox, just so long as the color of the swap is the main one. You can use whatever medium you want. Ensure you use something sturdier than paper for the actual box. Pack it well. This is totally sender's choice. Matchbox items are pretty small and we are already having to find them in a certain color, so you get what you get! Just make sure it is something you want to receive. No trash. I don't want to see anyone saying things such as "The picture wasn't very artistic" or "I don't use brads" in the swap ratings for these. If it looks like your partner spent time and did her/her best on and filled the box, and it is sent on time, it is at least a five. Let's not have any drama with this, please? If you sign up, make and send your box on time! I will angel if needed, but I'll also make sure you never swap in this town again....bwahahaha! Have fun, and let me know if there are any questions! This month is Yellow, perfect for May flowers! I can think of so many lovely spring themes that are yellow! The sun, yellow roses, Yellow butterflies, yellow tulips, etc..,
Should be easy to find an appropriate or creative idea!

Tommie, if you didn't get an orange one yet, or an offer to make you one, I'll swap you for one. I do want you to get the whole set!

I see we have some brand new Matchbox and More group members joining the series! Yay! If any are making an altered matchbox for the first time, I'm happy to answer any questions!

And if any new swappers missed any of the series and really want a complete spectrum set, I can help you organize to arrange to do red and orange between themselves private-swaplike. I'm taking care of Tommie for the orange box that she has missed out on.
