hello, is a size 32 one of the tiny ones?

4getmenot71 11/10/2006 #

Hi there! Yes, it is. :)

Just wondering why you have no rating. Does that mean you haven't done any swaps before, but you're coordinating one??

4getmenot71 11/10/2006 #

I have done alot of swaps, but I am new here at swap-bot. I fell in love with these matchbox swaps, and decided I wanted to coordinate one myself, as well as sign up for a couple. :)

Careful - they are very, very addictive! :)

4getmenot71 11/11/2006 #

I can imagine that they are. It is such a fun idea! :)

32 what? can you tell me how much it is in centimeters?

4getmenot71 11/12/2006 #

In centimeters it is approx. 3 1/2 x 5. :)

I've never done a matchbox swap but it seems like a lot of fun. What is the best way to ship this?

4getmenot71 11/12/2006 #

Oh, I am having a ball with these! :D

From what I see so far, most everyone ships them in a small bubble envelope. You could also write on it "hand stamp only." And "Do not crush" for added protection.

Thanks for joining my swap! :)
