Description:

This swap is open to everyone who has completed 5 type 3 swaps and has a positive rating for them. Have fun everyone :-)

I love summer, don't you? :-)

For this swap you will make a decorated box and the theme is SUMMER. This can mean a lot of things, so make this box about what summer is to you. Make the box simple or over the top lavish, as long as it embodies what summer means to you.

When you are done tuck at least one summer-related item into the box before sending it to your partner. You can stuff it with as much as you want, but one summer item is minimum.

Boxsize: I'm not gonna be to strict with this, I'm thinking about the size of a clenched hand, but you are free to go a little smaller or a little larger.

Last but no least: The reason I don't set a more specific size for the box or demand that you stuff the box to the brim is that I'm gonna set a dollar amount instead. Minimum value for all this needs to be $10 before postage. This is the value for box, decoration materials and filling. Be fair when when you estimate the value of any stash you dip into. $10 is minimum, you are free to send more, just know that you may not get more in return.

I hope many will join and have fun with this :-) And if you have allergies please list them below so your partner can work around them. Please respect allergies people, it's a swap requirement.

Could it be a summer bag? I would love to join this & make a tote for someone to use during their travels this Summer or while hanging by the pool. =D

@Oreon that is a nice idea and I'm sure one many would like. The thing is I myself am a backpack purist lol ;-) I only carry stuff in a backpack (due to health issues) and never use anything handheld or over just one shoulder. I would never use a totebag, whereas I love to have little decorational boxes sitting around the house looking pretty. So for this particular swap I'm gonna keep it as it is. But I encourage you to create your own swap for a totebag :-)

brain fart---what would be some good summer items that we could place in the box?

catnipitis 05/21/2011 #

@ Cajun--I was thinking maybe some single serve drink Mixes (Crystal Light, Kool Aid), maybe a travel size tube of sunscreen, perhaps some lipgloss/lipbalm, a bandana perhaps... :)

Thanks capnipitis!!!
FYI--I actually saw some cool boxes at Michael's the other night similar to the ones pictured. Had a flower on top and the boxes were decorated. Would this be cool to use?

@CajunLady You need to decorate the box yourself ;-) As for summeritems I was thinking more along the line of pagan summer items myself. Try google, type in "Litha correspondence". That's what I did, and found a ton of inspiration.
