PS Shrines are useless but decorative matchboxes like these:

I can't wait to get started! In fact have some already started. I will be filling or putting stuff or making shrines in each one I make 'cause that's part of the fun! Thanks Grace for hosting a fun swap!

Just to clarify, ALL of the 12 matchboxes are to be filled or shrined, not just 1 of each type, right? ALL of them have something on the inside, but you could have 11 shrines and 1 filled, or 11 filled and 1 shrine, or any other mixture of filled and shrines in between as long as they ALL have something inside, is that right?

Yup, that's correct Crescendo - all 12 matchboxes must have something inside - at least 1 must be a shrine and at least 1 must be filled to the top, the rest can be a mix of them!
