Description:

Sorry, I don't have a picture for this yet, so I will use the Halloween one until I get one so that there is an idea of size.

Christmas will be here before we know it, so let's have a bit of crafting fun in preparation!

This swap will involve time, love, care, your imagination and probably a few dollars too. If you feel you can't provide those necessary ingredients then please do NOT sign up for this swap.

We we each be making a Christmas or Gingerbread type House out of the large 250ct matchboxes. You will need 3 matchboxes to complete your house. Being a house it should have some type of roof, it does not have to be shaped like the one in the picture. You must decorate your house with a Christmas, Winter, Gingerbread theme. This is your chance to use some of those cute, fun things you picked up on sale after last Christmas and put them to use!

The drawers are to be filled/stuffed accordingly. 1 drawer filled with candies/treats/edible goodies/drink packets.

1 drawer filled with things like stickers, ribbon(at least 6in), brads, buttons, anything that can be used for crafting. Preferably Christmas themed, but not required.

1 drawer is to be filled with either 2 Christmas ATCs made by you. These should also include some type of hanging device so that they can be hung on a tree.
OR A handmade ornament. Something along the lines of a small stuffie, shrinky dink ornament, crochet/knitted ornaments, etc.

Requirements for joining

A rating of 4.8 or higher. No 1s or 3s in the last 6 months. 20 mailed swaps. These mailed swaps should be for more than postcards or pen pal letters.

The conditions may seem a bit harsh but I want to try to ensure that there won't be any flakers in this swap. I will be reviewing all profiles and will ban anyone that doesn't meet the requirements, or that looks suspicious

Anyone wanting to make a USA only version feel free. :)

I hate to sound ignorant, but what are the proper dimensions for this box? I looked at the link, but it isn't very clear. Thanks!

Okay, forget it! I can't make the links work! Garrent, when you print out the template it will be the right size. Further down in the paragraph are two blue links, one for each part of the box.
