Please send me your mailing address, and I will match you up with a swap partner, and we will be ready to go!! I'll put everyone's name on folded up scraps of paper in a bowl, have a disinterested party close their eyes, and pick out names, 2 at a time, to match everyone up.

As soon as I get everyone's address, I will let you know the "mail by" date.

The rules are - there really are no rules of design. Just decorate a tiny matchbox- the ones that are about 2" long. Fill with ephemera, vintage pieces of this and that, things that could be used in altered art some way. If you like it - I'm sure your swap partner will like it too!!! As many items as will comfortably fit in the box - there is no prize for having stuffed the most in there!!!

This is a have fun, let the creativity flow, no pressure project!!!

Pretty Much a Wasted Day......

After doing basically nothing yesterday - a day full of "should do's, wanna do's, and must do's", I did NOTHING!!!

Was kind of nice, actually!!!

Toward the end of the day, I was blog surfing and read Kimmie's post about matchbox stuffing!!! Can you imagine - she actually stumbled on a club for this?!?! It is called The International League of Championship Matchbox Stuffers!!!
Kimmie artfully stuffed a matchbox, and since I had nothing else to do, I thought I would give it a try. It was fun - and now I have a decorated matchbox stuffed with 33 teeny items!The top stuffer got 104 very teeny items in their matchbox! I'm quite happy with 33!!! These assorted little treasures would be perfect for using in ATC's.

I can now say I did accomplish something creative today!!!

So, visit Kimmie - see what she has created, and follow her link to see what champion matchbox stuffers have done with theirs!

Oh, and the LAST person to comment here before midnight on Halloween- wins my matchbox!!!!!Just think what you can do with all those little treasures!!!! You know you want it - LOL
