note to my future partner:
If you want to fill mine with just beads, I will not mind in the slightest.
I also collect little charm bracelet type charms.

Are there any pictures of decorated matchboxes? I would just like to see some samples of how they are decorated.

I am signing up for the swap; you can fill mine with foreign postage stamps (esp with holiday themes) and I'd be very happy. Small charms, embellishments, stickers, and beads are also most welcome. For my partner, I am test driving my new Cricut, and will cut as many shapes as will fit!

Thanks beadeful. Yours are so cute! This will be my first!!

Oh and I wanted to say that the boxes that I bought look smaller than I remember them being. But maybe it is because I haven't really looked at the size of them before now. I have the ones that come with 10 boxes (I think). Is that the right size? It is the 32 count but they just look small??!!
