summer to fall matchbox swap

the simple guidelines:

For this easy, fun times, international matchbox swap we will each have just one partner. You will make your partner one end of summer and/or fall-themed matchbox - the small 32-count size matchbox (approximately 2 inches x 1.5 inches x .5 inches).

What is end-of-summer-themed or fall-themed? It could be flowers, leaves, vacation stuff, back to school stuff, really anything. This swap will help us make the transition from summer to fall. I plan to use deeper colors and rich embellishments - the bounty of the final harvest or something like that...

I make my matchboxes out of cardstock, but most swappers decorate real, empty matchboxes. You will also need to fill your matchbox with summer and fall-themed goodies. I like filling my boxes with stickers, ribbon, brads, buttons, beads, and other little embellishments. Anything goes, but make sure you send something you would love to receive.

You aren't required or expected to send any extras for this swap, but remember to include your name, your swap-bot username, and your email address in your package.

requirements:

This swap is international. Everyone must have over a 4.9 rating to participate - since that is the criteria for our group. I have been being much stricter with our group requirements and checking new members. This should be a very safe and high quality swap. However, if anyone doesn't receive a swap, I will gladly angel.

let's swap:

Remember that you can get any type of summer or fall-themed matchbox in this swap. If you don't like Summer or fall this probably isn't the swap for you. Let's have fun and make some beautiful matchboxes!
