Hi all, I was looking at a box of 8 Crayola Crayons and thought…wouldn’t it be fun to do a matchbox swap using the basic Crayola Crayons.

Well here it is. But wait….were not just making 1 matcbbox….we’re making 8.

Yep…that’s right 8 match boxes. One for each color in the basic Crayola Crayon package.

So here are the rules for the boxes:

  1. Decorate 1 box per color (red, blue, orange, green, black, brown, purple and yellow)

  2. Each box must have the color name on it somewhere.

  3. Add something to the boxes. Since there are a lot of boxes, you don’t have to cram them full, but please add something nice related to the box color.

  4. These don’t have to be profile specific, so you can get started on these if, you’d like or if you like a challenge, then wait until partners are assigned and design them around your partner’s profile. The choice is up to you.

Requirements for joining the swap:

  1. Must have a rating of 4.9 or higher

  2. No newbies (you must have been “rated� in at least 3 mailed swaps. No email swaps please….these are a lot of boxes to commit to for one swap, so I felt the need to put some restrictions in

  3. No more than 1 no send in the last 2 months. Please pm me if you have any concerns around this.

Ok and my number 1 rule:

Above all….have fun! Isn’t that what Swap-Bot is all about anyway!

This is the first swap I am hosting, so please be patient with me when it comes time to assign partners. It may take me a day or two to check profiles….I hope that I won’t have to ban anyone, but if I you don’t meet the requirements, then I will ban you.

Ready! Set! Go! Let’s get started on those matchboxes.

Note: This is an international swap. The matchboxes don't weigh much. I participated in a drawer matchbox swap and the international shipping wasn't much at all on these.

What a fun idea -- and challenging! I hadn't done matchboxes for awhile, but this sounds doable. And I am very glad you included a list of the colors. I could spend some time trying to figure out what they were!

I've done my boxes already--it was too much color fun to wait! Just waiting for my partners list now. Cyn

Yay! Partners are assigned! My matchboxes will be winging their way to Wales tomorrow! Cyn

You are amazingly fast, twobluecrows!!

Yours won't be out that fast! ::grins::

LOL--I worked on them the minute I signed up and had the boxes done that day, then I spent the rest of the time finding things of the right color to fill them with--it didn't take long! It was fun! I'm not in any hurry, so have fun, and don't rush! Cyn

Got my boxes yesterday from Chrisondra, but couldn't enjoy them fully until today as we were on our way out of town. Today though I opened everything and was totally impressed and enjoyed every minute! The extra treat (a great crow pin) is pinned on my jacket collar! Cyn
