Description:

In college, my friend gave me a little box filled with tiny good fortune scrolls and it sat on my coffee table and when people would come over, they could pick one out and read it- it was fun!

Let’s make this swap fun and easy- The requirements are:

  1. A 32-count matchbox decorated however you want or not decorated at all.

  2. A minimum of seven (7) good fortune scrolls- you can do more if you want and can fit them in! These should all be positive, no doom or gloom fortunes allowed- the fortunes should be rolled up and bound in some way (ribbon or rubber band) and I will leave the size and color of the scrolls up to you but there must be a minimum of 7 inside the box.

Note: The scrolls must be small enough to fit inside the matchbox- I picture the scrolls being the size of a stick of gum wrapper cut in ½ and rolled up tied with a ribbon or rubber band

You can add to this swap a note, a charm, a smiley face sticker but this is not a requirement.

Here are some ideas for fortunes but please be creative and have fun:, if you are having a hard time coming up with something, look in a positive affirmation book for some ideas but here are some I came up with:

--good luck fortune- you will find something that you have lost --wealth and money fortune- you will get an unexpected raise --peace fortune- one of your enemies will become your best friend --good health fortune- someone you know who is sick will get better --fun fortunes- your husband will kiss you today, your dogs will not bark today, you will laugh 5 times today!, Someone will smile at you today!!

Feel free to tailor your fortunes to your swap mate, look at their profile, can you say something positive to them that matches their life and gives them a smile?

This is my first swap and I want it to go well and because we are sharing good karma, I don’t want to risk any disappointment-so here are the rules:

• International! Users with a 4.7 or above will be able to join. Newbies can join but you MUST message me first and give me a really really good reference (ebay name with good feedback, amazon name with good feedback, a friend on swap-bot who has good feedback and trusts you, a credible affiliation that I can look up, etc.) If you do not, you will not be allowed to join this swap-AT ALL. I was put to the test as a newbie and I understand it as it can really hurt someone to not receive when they have put a great effort into a swap.

I am so happy to see that 12 people will be taking part in my first swap as hostess! I can't wait! Thanks, guys!

i feel so bad because I was the one who put you through the newbie hassle :( :)

I have a weird question. I always see matchbox swaps on here but have no clue where you would get one to start with.

Love the idea on this swap.

Dollar stores have them as well as drug stores, they are mostly made by the company Diamond brand and hold wooden stick matches, good luck, join if you can!!

okay i think i'll give this one a try... i'm feeling creative.. this will be my first matchbox swap.

I have a question. Is a 32 count matchbox a small or large one? I have ones 1 1/2 - 2 (at a guess inches long, is this the sort of size or are we talking those jumbo ones from the states?

tateva 04/11/2007 #

BleakOptimism = Yes these sound correct theyre not the jumbo ones, they are the small as u described, thank u!!!

BleakOptimism 04/11/2007 #

Well count me in then, this sounds like fun :) and being paranoid about blackouts and emergencies, I have zillions of boxes of matches lying around my house, so I can rustle one up easy enough :)
