Finally, you can get matchboxes in obscure themes that there have never been swaps for! You should list 4 or more ideas for a macthbox you would like to recieve. They can be common ideas, or totally "out there". Make your ideas fun, but if it is umcommon, provide some info so your partner can research the subject if they need to!

You will send ONE partner ONE decorated and filled 32 count matchbox in ONE of the themes they have chosen. Don't try to incorporate all the themes!

4.8 rating required, with no recent no-sends. I will ban anyone who does not have their themes posted by the sign-up deadline. US/Canada only, but feel free to start an international version.

Have fun!

I would like to recieve one of the following themes:

  1. CSI (the TV show), 2. The Velveteen Rabbit (a children's book), 3. chinchillas (as pets, not fur!), 4. goldfish, 5. painting or paintings.

If you're stuck with these, message me and I'll try to think of more :-)

Here are a number of ideas for a themed matchbox for me:

  • Alice in Wonderland
  • pop art (think Warhol and the like)
  • cupcakes
  • gnomes
  • skulls/skeletons

If you're having difficulties with these themes, I'll try to think of a few more. :)

Matchbox themes to consider for me:

  1. Lordy, Lordy Look Who's 40!
  2. Benjamin Franklin (we were both born on January 17th)
  3. Jackie O
  4. Ghandi
  5. Mother Theresa
  6. Nashville, TN (I want to move back there soooo bad! I was in Marketing and Sales for Christian Artists - Oh yeah, "I'm A Little Bit Country!" too...I've been taking "box guitar" lessons :)
  7. Vintage Harley Davidson Bikes
  8. Anne Geddes: I love baby pictures (as if I don't have a million of my own kids)
  9. Flappers
  10. Altered Text ATC about LOVE
vintageartchic 12/ 4/2007 #

Ooops! Number 10 should read Altered Text about Love. That would be basically some text wrapped around the cover of the box with some message about love highlighted. And maybe inside anything dealing with love ie. heart buttons, stars, kisses, heart charm, cupid stickers etc.
