Description:

Take a small matchbox (the kind that holds 32 matches) and decorate it nice and pretty in a hearts & stars theme.

Fill the box with all things hearts and stars.

Eg; papers, beads, buttons, brads, pictures, jewelry, barettes, stickers, ribbons, die-cuts, etc.

This is an international swap. Have fun! :)

Update

I am truly sorry, but if you are new to swapping, you must have at least one rating of 4 or higher to join any of my swaps from now on OR be able to give me a reference from a reputable site such as deviant art or nervousness.org, etc. I really hate to be like this, but too many people (including myself) have been burned by scammers lately. :(

what are the dimensions of the box? because here in Australia our smallest matchbox holds 50 matches.

ellawitch 02/18/2007 #

i absolutely love stars. i can\'t wait for this swap

4getmenot71 02/24/2007 #

ozrob~ It is about 1 1/2\" x 2\". The 50-count one will be fine to use as well. :)

4getmenot71 02/24/2007 #

ellawitch~ Me too! I am looking forward to it as well! :D

user6165 03/ 2/2007 #

user6740 03/ 5/2007 #

I've started collecting a couple of things already, that I spotted out today. Heh. :)

user6852 03/ 9/2007 #

user6855 03/10/2007 #

Ajijic 03/11/2007 #

Sign me up, please! Love those little matchboxes. Barbara

Thank you I will not let you down. I have already done 3 swaps and I sent all of those out you have nothing to worry about. Thanks again I better get busy I went to the store today and bought matchbox's 2 packs. this site is amazing so many cool swaps. this is one I will def have fun with.

GracieBella 03/12/2007 #

Is it just me or has anyone else not received their partners?

lilylemon 03/12/2007 #

There's a new process -- swap coordinators have to check over list, eliminate bad swappers, and then tell swap-bot to assign partners. So, if coordinators don't log on to do that, it gets delayed. So, noone has a partner yet.

4getmenot71 03/12/2007 #

Sorry for the delay in assigning partners... I was asleep when it was time to do that and then I had to go through and ban 13 people (which, by the way, makes me fel like total crap!)

I just cannot allow people to join without at least a 4 or some form of reference stating they are a good swapper. I do not want to see the members of my swaps getting stiffed anymore.

I AM, however going to make a matchbox swap that is ONLY for unrated users, so stay tuned...

lilylemon 03/12/2007 #

Thanks, Melody!

lilylemon 03/12/2007 #

Oh, and mine is going out today to the Netherlands. I hope it will arrive quickly!

4getmenot71 03/12/2007 #

Thanks for posting, Lily! Honestly... I feel sick to my stomach over banning people. :( I just wish everyone would be nice and send what they owe! ;oP BTW... your letter that I PROMISED to send today IS going out tomorrow. :/ I am a bad example at the moment, I guess. :( I could not get to the post office today, though, but that is priority for tomorrow morning! Let me know when you receive. :D

4getmenot71 03/12/2007 #

I love swap-bot, but there are two things I think could make it SO much better! If there were a message board where everyone could go and read and comment about new rules, problems, etc. Also ~ a feature where you could click a button when you have received a particular swap. Sometimes people do not rate and that is unfair to newbies and anyone else, really. :( I think people should HAVE to say when a swap is received. Any thoughts on this?

GracieBella 03/12/2007 #

Thanx Melody. I haven't swapped in awhile and didn't realise the new rule.

lilylemon 03/12/2007 #

Oh, Melody, you do not even want to read the hissy fit I just threw on the swap page of another swap I'm in right now on that very subject!

4getmenot71 03/12/2007 #

Lily Lemon~ Yes I do! ;oP Where is it??? hehe! I need to know I am not the only one throwing things around here! ;oP

EspressoBrown 03/13/2007 #

NickL -- just wanted to let you know your package is on its way.

mrsD 03/15/2007 #

I mailed mine today to Nurulnurul in Malaysia, airmail from Canada.

NickL 03/16/2007 #

EspressoBrown ~ I received my matchbox package from you today and OMG it was FANTASTIC!! I was totally blown away with your generosity and your matchbox was awesome. I can't wait to give you your heart when I rate you. Thanks so much!!

1CrazyQuilter 03/17/2007 #

Barbara I sent out your package today.

bren 03/17/2007 #

Received a pretty little box from Marianne. Thank you! Especially liked the long heart brads.

1CrazyQuilter 03/17/2007 #

Brittany I got your package today. thank you

GracieBella 03/19/2007 #

Just Letting Maya know that I sent her package today!

Tambo 03/19/2007 #

Received a GREAT assortment of goodies from cjkriebel today! She even sent extras from a swap that had been cancelled. #1 swapper! :o)

4getmenot71 03/19/2007 #

I am so glad to see people receiving their swaps. :)

I had quite a disappointment today, though. :( My perfect 5 rating tarnished after I worked so hard to build it, and I don't even know why. :( I am thinking that after all of my swaps are over, I am going to leave swap-bot and stop swapping. :( Too many "little things" here are adding up and I feel it's best to just nip it in the bud. I thank all of you who have been joining my swaps and sending what you owe. You all rock! :)

Melody

lilylemon 03/19/2007 #

Melody -- I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Now I've gotten a few nice penpals and friends, I might just continue corespondence and private swaps with them. Send me a message if you want to vent.

anouk 03/21/2007 #

mine is going to finland. wooooww ...it flies long way...

serene_serenade: how sad!! you hosted funny&happy swaps. and I suggest you contact your partner who gave you a bad rating. it would be **&?$%"*@ ---> translates as "not the same without you"

vintageprincess 03/21/2007 #

BrittneyBush - your "hearts and stars" matchbox is on its way!! I hope you like your little goodies :-}

EspressoBrown 03/21/2007 #

4getmenot71 03/31/2007 #

Is there anyone who has NOT received this swap by now?

mrsD 04/ 1/2007 #

I haven't received yet, my sending partner is marked as Not Sent and has not replied to my email either. poop!

EspressoBrown 04/ 3/2007 #

I've not received anything yet, but see it is now marked "sent" and coming from quite a distance, so will be patient for a while and look forward to its arrival. 80)

mrsD 04/ 3/2007 #

update - my sending partner has been in contact with me and her swap is coming soon.

Ajijic 05/ 3/2007 #

Pam, your matchbox arrived one day before we left Mexico, on April 19, wow! Glad I didn't miss it. Thanks for the lovely box and the goodies inside. Barbara
