Hello All 
It's been awhile since we did a large matchbox swap.
So, lets get creative & do one for the 4th of July 
Guide lines are as follows
1. One Partner Swap
2. Open to everyone. If you wish not to mail outside the US, PLEASE let me know before I post partners
3. Decorate one large matchbox with a patriotic theme
4. Include some small tokens or one larger one, inside the matchbox
5. Extra tuck ins are allowed but I'm hoping all of you gals will concentrate more on decorating your matchboxes
Sign up is till June 6th & Mail Out NO LATER than June 20th
Remember the sky is the limit, rockets red glare & all that good stuff  Happy Crafting
Almost forgot as always I will hold a give away as my way of Thanking all who participate.

So glad Portia, that you liked my matchbox & tucks. The Liberty Bell ornament is a vintage ornament from the seventies :-) If you like I can post a picture of the matchbox ;-)

Maddie, thank you so much for the adorable bear-themed red, white, and blue matchbox. I thought it was Christmas because I just kept opening things!The tiny bear ornament is precious and I love the Liberty Bell ornament as well.The ATC is the sweetest little thing and I love how you had it tucked in a plastic casing on the back of the matchbox. Of course, I will get lots of use from the bear stamp/ink and the beaded red, white, and blue change purse (soooo cute). And, the flag plaque has a resting place on a side table where I have July 4th decorations. Again, thank you sooooooooooo much for everything!!!!
Hugs,
Portia

Beth! I love all my presents!! I gave away my flag pin to a young girl I worked with. She had vintage pins on her hairdresser apron and she wanted a vintage flag! So I got one back!! The box everything was in, is gorgeous! I love how you glued the ribbon to the bottom tray to make it easier to pull out! I am gonna steal that for next time!  Your Matchbox is beautiful! I will put it on my tree and take some more pics.  .JPG)

Beth your box will go out tomorrow, I went to the PO today and their power went out, came right back on, but the computer system was still down after 15 minutes, so I have errands to do tomorrow and I will stop back by, and get it on the way to Tallassee! ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Hi Portia :-) I am posting here since you don't receive emails. I never received Beth's the other day but have received others, so I'm taking no chances ;-) I have your box done but will probably mail it out next Friday on the final mail out date. I have a lot of different swaps all due around the same time & postage can be a killer ~~~~~
