Welcome Sarah :-) Nice to have you join in. Since it is your first time joining in this swap remember to let your partner know if you prefer Halloween or Autumn for your matchbox ;-)

Hi Portia :-) Yes, same as last year. The reason I used last years post was to have the examples right there for anyone not knowing what the swap was about. Thank You for joining in :-)

Probably a stupid question... where are you finding matchboxes? I can only find matchbooks or fireplace match boxes - is that what I am supposed to decorate?
Thanks. :)

Thanks! I didn't check the Dollar Store! I will have to look there. If I can't find them there there is a WalMart fairly close I can check there. :)

Hi Mary :-) Welcome. I think you will enjoy making & receiving these. You can also if you like make something to put inside, instead of buying something. I usually try to make a little something, have to keep those creative vibes flowing ;-)

Hi all,
Just double checking...we are to use the large matchbox, right? I found both at the Dollar
Store in the kitchen section. Thanks. Looking forward to creating this!

OOOOOOH Maddie!
Your decorating is toooo cute! I adore your coloured trees with ALL your keepsakes! I'm still looking for a coloured tree! It's sooo much fun to get into storage for holiday items!
Thanks for sharing Maddie! 
Broom Hilda safely tuck your surprise in her pocket & flew south this morning!
Enjoy.....oh, Maddie you'll have to lift up the "white thing" on the right hand side top of the box. Don't want to say what it is. hahah
Hugs Judy
