Description:

It is almost Halfway to Halloween! Let's celebrate by altering a small matchbox for our partner, In a Halloween theme, of course. Edit: by small I mean the box that holds 32 matches and is approx. 1.5 by 2 by. 5 inches.

Obviously Pinterest has some great ideas and tutorials to turn to!

Ideas:

  • general Halloween using scrapbook supplies (make sure it is Halloween and not just "Autumn")

  • Coffin

  • Tombstone

  • Haunted House

  • Evil portal (doorway, mirror, gate, etc)

  • Haunted Suitcase

  • Ouija Board

  • Side Show

  • Nightmare before Halloween

  • Movie based

  • etc, etc

I will stop listing ideas because I can only think of creepy things that I haven't even listed.

After decorating include a MINIMUM of 3 tiny Halloween themed things inside the matchbox for your partner. (examples: key, Halloween Embellishment, ribbon, button, brad, badge, bottle cap, pin, rubber stamp, etc...)

This swap is mostly sender's choice but if your partner has a fear or something that they totally dislike, please don't use it if you can. To aid in this, when you sign up please mention in the comments below if you have any fears or theme that should not be used. Do not list 17 different things. It is reasonable to list 1 or 2 things your partner should avoid.

Send on time, rate your partner. Contact your partner and/or myself if needed. I will angel if needed. Minimum of 10 type 3 swaps completed, Minimum of 4.95 rating, no 1's or 3's October 2013-now. USA only. I will check swappers throughout sign up and of course before I assign partners.

Package/postage thoughts - I've only mailed one matchbox before - I don't remember if I used a padded envelope with more bubble wrap or a tiny box...please share your opinion/ideas on this if you've mailed altered matchboxes before. I think I have a small box from a phone or something I'll use.

No fears or avoids for me...I do prefer creepy/evil/haunted over cute though

I don't like gorey zombies. Too much blood makes my knees weak.
