Hi Everyone,

I received Girl Scout cookies on February 20th and automatically kept the box because I like the vibrant colors and pics. Then I thought hmmmm, since I'm going to recycle them anyway maybe others would like to also.

For this swap you will make something out of a girl scout cookie box. You may use other materials as well but at least 50% of the item should be recycled from the box.

Some ideas include but are not limited to:
* ATC
* earrings
* greeting card
* pendant/broach
* necklace center piece
* bookmark
* postcards
* notepad
* storage folder

If you have some other ideas, please share it will us.

Since we already have quite a few swaps in March, I'll set this one for April. That gives us plenty of times to come up with ideas and get more cookies before the mail out deadline :-) Since this is senders choice you can get started as soon as you sign up for the swap.

Any questions or suggestions for improving this swap before it begin, feel free to let me know.

If you would like to participate but do not have any Girl Scout Cookies Boxes @oreon has graciously offered to send one. Please see the comments below.

We haven't received our GS Cookies yet (in southeast Michigan) but we have ordered, so I think they should arrive in time for an April deadline.

@17Papergoddess Added it, thank you.

@camelsamba Yay, let me know if you want me to make an adjustment to the dates.

Can I use another kind of box similar in size to the GS cookie box? Mine has a fun sudoku shape puzzle on back.

Bummer, I just threw out my box last night as I couldn't think of anything to do with it.

@FabricsandFlowers For this swap I really want to focus on the GC cookie box because I really like the pictures and the colors.

@Faun00 Oh, bummer.

@Kathyy ok, thanks.
