Description:

For this swap, you are to fill an empty, metal, Altoid tin (you know..."The Curiously Strong Mint") with different craft goodies (for scrapbooking, card making, ATCs, etc) and send to your partner! I am probably not the only one who finishes a tin of these dellicious mints and says, "Gee...I can totally use this for something!"

This is not a profile based swap so feel free to put yours together and get it all ready to mail out when partners are assigned...it wouldnt hurt to take a look at their profile right before you send it to make sure they dont have a deadly fear of washi tape or are allergic to plaid scrapbook paper...you know :)

Ideas...

Stickers/ Jewels/ Buttons/ Chipboard Embellishments/ Decorative Paper-trim pieces/ Sequins/ Pieces of cool paper cut to fit in the box/ Lengths of cute ribbon/ Ric-Rac pieces/ Scrapbook paper pieces/ Lace pieces/ Cute string/ Small fabric pieces/ Washi tape/ mini baby envies/ Fun paperclips/ Un-used forever stamps/ Mini pen/marker

Whatever you think! Try and have at least 5 different types of items in there...fill it up! You may leave the tin as-is OR feel free to decorate it! Rules... 4.9 minimum rating required. No unexplained 1's or 3's. You must have at least 8 completed and 8 rated swaps of any type. No Flakers please...if you dont plan on sending it on time, please dont sign up :)

I am going to be pretty strict with the rules...I am still a beginner:)

I will give y'all a week to sign up and put it together and another week to mail it!

HAVE FUN!

Just put mine together…here is what I put in mine in case you were looking for ideas…7 pieces of cool scrapbook paper cut to fit in the container, 5 lengths of different vintage rick rack wrapped around a piece of card stock, mini handmade envie filled with 15 stickers, 4 pieces of cutout trim cut to fit into container, 2 pieces of sticker trim, a gift tag, 1 forever stamp, little baggie of sequins, little baggie of embellishments, felt flower sticker, 3D butterfly embellishment, 4 different color banner thingees (can't describe them), a piece of this really cool shiny leather material I found…I haven't decided if I am going to decorate the tin or not.
