I swiped this from Naughtyelf's Sunnydale swap - but any mistakes are mine entirely!

This is a swap for a decorated box, as fancy as you want it to be, please put your best effort into this swap. The theme is True Blood, it can be character based, creature based, based on the show, or the books, your only limit is your imagination.

For this swap you will create for your partner 1 box it can be small but please make it big enough to at least hold ATC's as some members may want to keep their Trueblood ATC's from our swaps in it! So I would say smallest size for the inside measurements of the box would be 3 in. x 4 in. as ATC's are 2.5in x 3.5 in. Of course you can do a larger size box if you wish but it's not required, just remember this is an international swap and shipping large boxes can get expensive, should you get an overseas partner. Im using a cigar box that Ive been wanting to make something special with!

The box needs to have a lid: hinged lid, a removable lid, doesn't really matter as long as it has one. The box can be made from sturdy cardboard or wood, or it can be an altered tin (alcohol inks are great for this) as long as it is durable, this should be made to last! As for decorating you can paint, cover with paper, stamp, decoupage, use images, draw your own, hot glue some cool embellishments, it really wide open to your imagination.

You may want to try to use colors your partner may like as well if they have them listed on their profile, but it is not a requirement. If you wish to put anything in the box as an extra surprise for your partner that is completely up to you but once again not a requirement. Please dont just grab a box and throw some stickers on it.

I am creating this swap now so we can all have something to put our new Trueblood ATC's in as well as others we will have for the group! Since this is created by you I will allow plenty of time to complete this project. Thank you and happy swapping!

If you are in the group then you meet requirements to sign up however, I still look over profiles to make sure people are still in good standing with the group before I assign partners. I will angel should anyone flake but please dont do that. Thanks and happy swapping!

This is a themed swap for true blood - but its up to the sender as to how they want to decorate it - so you could start on your boxes now! If anyone has concerns on the time line though - speak up and we can adjust it before the start. IM fine with changes as long as the majority of people participating are in agreement.

yes naughtyelf! i dont swipe bad ideas - you are brilliant!!
