Hi Ladies, This is how I decided to display my matchboxes. Sure will make my fall decorations much more meaningful. Thank you all.
Happy Fall everyone.

Well, I came home from a vacation a little sad that it was over (we'd been planning it for 2 years)and then..THERE WERE MY BOXES at the post office waiting to be picked up. Went first thing and my DH and I had such funn opening each one at the restaurant that night. (No food in the house, had to eat out.) Anyway, the boxes are fabulous!! just too darn CUTE!! I enjoyed each and every one and will continue to do so. My BFF BJ got her set too after our vacation and called to thank me and tell me how kool she thinks "my hen friends" are.
Sherry, thank you for hosting this swap and holding my boxes till I got home. I absolutely love your wreath and may do something like that too. I was thinking maybe a tree branch to hang all of them from.
Ladies, you out-did yourself with these boxes. Thanks to all. Joey

Now, I must re-pack them and take them to DIL since she helped and I promised she could open them also! Ladies, all I can say is WoW! Thank you all for swapping, and thanks Sherry and family!

I came home from the farm... Hot & tired... dragging my butt to the mail box. there it was, this special little package. I raced into the house, kicking my boots off... looking for a knife to open this package.... Sitting down and looking at each & everyone of these wonderful matchbox's with little tokens inside!!!!!!!! this is my first swap ever, & you ladies rock!!!!!!! My heart was tickled with everyones vision. I am sorry to say, I didn't put my name on mine... They were the one with the bingo number.... I love my box's & will find a way to display them. Thank you so much for the opening to get in on this!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Bless you all.
