Lesley, I cannot believe how charming the matchbox you made me is!!!! I was oohing and aahing all night. It was just perfect for me. You did a fabulous job, I only hope mine turns out half as well. I love the vintage Halloween style...it was just perfect! I love the owl paper on the sides!

Then, what you put inside the box....oh my gosh....too cute. What a clever idea! I hope my photos do it justice, because it is so wonderful!
Again, thank you for such a wonderful box, and for being a great swap partner. I hope to have your box finished this weekend! You girls are too speedy!
Hugs, Tammy

Had fun creating it. I glued the lid on the jar so hopefully the glitter inside won't get everywhere they were laughing at me at work because i kept coming in with glitter on my face

Oh! Nice work Lesley :) Thank You Tammy for posting a picture ;)
Roe, I hope you don't mind if I post a picture of my matchbox I sent you ?
I am thinking of another swap of these but in the Spring & the pictures can be useful when new gals want to participate & don't know how to get started. I forgot however to take a picture of the inside :(
SO PLEASE ... Ladies if you can post pictures ;).jpg)

Okay :) Tammy & Lesley, I am intrigued but can't make out what the tag says, in the 2nd picture. I know it refers to the bottle. Please enlighten me ;)

Maddie, my darling tag says "Once Upon a Time Elixer" on the front. The back says "Remedies for all manere or malignant humours"...Mme Ivy Apothecary...Healing Tonics, Roborants, Oyls, Tinctures, Traches, Unguents, etc." Very very cute and clever!
And yes, Leslie, the bottle stayed glued shut...LOL

Hi Connie :) You inspired me to finish up stringing my ornaments for my goose feather tree ;) Can't decorate it with too many things, since it is delicate but here it is & a little of my Halloween decorations ;).jpg) .jpg)

Here is my baby tree decorated with a lot of Beth's beautiful creations, and Lesley's tag. I had to run out and find the first mini tree I could find to display my things, but it is too small. It is the only Halloween decoration I have put out because it is 98 degrees here...YUCK! Doesn't feel like Fall at all. P.S. My tree is on a beautiful handmade doily which was made for me by Farmgirl Marilyn (Mountain Mama)...love her!

Ya'll, those are adorable!! Love both of them Tammy and Maddie....Makes me think I'll look for me a tree!! maybe my DH won't notice it..hehe...He doesn't get into all the decorations! Let's see, we call him "Bah" short for Bah Humbug, Bunny BooBoo, but we don't have a halloween name for him....yet....oh well....Happy Halloween to all!! Smiles, Beth
You can never be to kind! |

OH! My Beth :) your DH sounds like mine, DS is the same, makes the Holidays not so Jolly but you Gals brighten it ;)
Tammy, Your tree is Bootifull (*_*) I had to buy a mini tree not by choice, I already have 4 trees, LOL, . You see the other one in the picture, to the right, it is even smaller, it is made using chenille pipe cleaners, both are from the Bethany Lowe line, these two make 6 trees. I got them for a song & dance at a flea market, because Bethanys' things are expensive to say the least, even on eBay. Well, when the lady told me ten for one & five for the other, they were in my bag so fast the lady standing next to me, head spun LOL. I know you can't see it but there are dollies on my table from a few of the gals. Also, Julies altered tea cup is hanging from the shepherd hook & Karlas' pumpkin is under it but you can just barely make out the top of it. I have my Halloween houses from Beth's swap last yeat hanging across my dining room window. I'm still arranging things but it is so much fun, just like Christmas. Here is a better shot. I take pictures so I can remember how I arrange things, for reference LOL

Thank you Maddie for letting me know I won "Autumn Fridget"! He is
so cute can't wait to set him up inside our home for a Fall decoration.
I will e-mail you my address. My partner and I have both mailed our
altered matchboxes to each other so looking forward to that as well.
Thanks for hosting this exchange. 
What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart .... |

Maddie, don't worry "Autumn Fridget" will have a good home here and
I'll send you a picture of him in his new surroundings when I get
my Fall decorations up!
Sherry, thank you sooo much for the wonderful Autumn altered
matchbox you sent. I loved all the little goodies you packed inside
of it. I love to read so the darling initial clip bookmark will be
well used. I also love "Burt's Bees" products and that's a perfect
lotion size for my purse. Also want to thank you for the darling
Autumn card you made. The box was decorated so nicely with the Fall
colors paper and little feather with a glitter sunflower button and the
muslin flower. Thanks for everything.
What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart .... |
