Description:

This is a fun, creative, and inexpensive swap. You will have 1 partner and you will send them one 3" decorated paper mache box. These can be found at any craft store-maybe even Wal-Mart. I got mine yesterday at AC Moore for $1. There are all different shapes-any shape is fine-heart, oval, circle, etc. This is sender's choice so you can decorate it any way you want-paint, glitter, decoupage, buttons, whatever. If this swap is popular we may start a series with more defined themes but this time just have at it.

Now for the part I think is the most fun! Place one small item inside your box-some kind of trinket or creature-$1 or less. I got a really cool little creature out a vending machine today that would go great inside. You can either theme the box around what is inside, make it opposite, or whatever-never judge a book by its cover you know-or a box for that matter :) Basically just have fun and spend very little money!

Don't be slack and just smack some stickers on it and call it a day-that is stank and rude and nobody wants to get that in the mail. Put some heart and soul into it. Don't flake-if you don't want to make the box then don't sign up. You must have a 4.8 or higher-newbies welcome with filled out profile.

If I left anything out just let me know-any questions just ask.

please consider doing another swap -- cool idea but I'll be on vacation so have to pass this one.... sigh... Sometimes it's just a matter of timing that affects the participation:)

Bah. I've just misplaced my FOURTH box... and all of them have been almost completely finished. I think one of my kids is hoarding them.

@withlovemeg - that is funny-i keep misplacing mine too but luckily I hadn't started yet-your kids will have quite the collection :)

@j2fabfunk I actually went and bought another five mini-boxes today just in case they wander off with this finished one before I can get it in the post tomorrow.
