BJ and I should make 20. One more spot left? I really enjoyed the Christmas swap and BJ sent me lots of supplies for this one. Can't wait to get started. Got jewelry to finish first and then on to Fall. Joey

Thanks Sherry,
I'm sure I'm going to enjoy this swap, and I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions as I go along! Do I put a label on the interior, similar to the ATC cards, or just tuck a note on the inside? With me I'm afraid a note may become lost. These are the little sliding 1" by 2" matchstick boxes?
Thanks to Fille de Ferme (Madeline) for the suggestion of Fall boxes and not Halloween. We choose not to celebrate Halloween and I find that I must decline to participate in many October activities.
Blessings!
Andrea |

Andrea, yes it is the small matchboxes. You can usually buy them in pkgs of 10. And just a very small note on the inside to let everyone know who decorated the box. Glad to have everyone. I love fall too. Not enough people celebrate fall. It a beautiful season. If you have more questions, just ask. I'll do my best to answer them. Have a great week.

Andrea, yes just a small note for the inside of the box so that everyone will know who decorated the box. Small matchboxes usually sold in pkgs of 10 at the dollar store. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. Glad your going to swap with us. Have a great week.
