Description:
Private Swap I will be sending invites but if you "know" me and want to join this swap, please contact me. US and Canada I want to join my newest obsession, altering matchboxes with my love of birds! For this swap we will be swapping 32 ct Matchbox decorated in a bird theme filled with related bird cuties, beads, buttons, sticker, ribbon, etc. Since this swap is private we should not have to worry about the rules but I will say only stellar swappers will be invited and I reserve the right to drop anyone who has late swaps or slipping ratings prior to assigning partners. Happy Swapping!!

Thanks for the invite :0) I'm loving getting to know some great swappers - and making new friends.

And needless to say I am now "addicted" to matchboxes. What a great creative outlet. I only wish I had taken pictures of the ones I've sent out - Butterfly's pics are so wonderful :0)

Can't wait to swap with you all.............

Yep, well, am the proud owner of one of Butterfly wonderful matchboxes...when I opened the package, I sat there just staring at it..it was just so pretty and had so much going on like glitter, gems, paper roses all on one little matchbox!

I am soo excited about this swap...I have been going nuts on etsy buying bird beads, charms and ribbon!

Yes, thank you for inviting me, tangledthread! I am excited for this swap. I am going to Archivers when I go to visit my mom in Kansas City. They have tons of great scrapbooking stuff, and I hope to find some perfect things for this swap.
