NEW HALLOWEEN SWAP! Sign up by replying HERE!

Vintage Dragonfly says:

PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE SIGNING UP!!!!!!
Alter 1 big 250 count matchbox in a Halloween theme. Create AT LEAST 4 handmade items for inside the box. ATC's, mini shrines, altered small matchboxes, paper dolls, domino pendants, earrings, pins, charms. Anything as long as it's Halloween themed. You MUST include at least four handmade items but there is no limit so create away! If you need a touch of inspiration visit my blog, vintagedragonfly.blogspot.com.
You can add purchased items or other's creations as filler but keep it unique. You may also spoil your partner a little on this one and include items that don't quite fit in the matchbox.
This will be a partnered swap so you will send to the same person you receive from. Spend some get acquainted time to learn your partners likes and dislikes-favorite Halloween colors, skeletons or witches, creepy or cute-you get the idea.
Sign-ups are through August 31. Partners will be announced September 3rd. PLEASE MARK THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR. There will be no reminder sent to check the group and contact your partner. It is your responsibility to follow through on September 3rd.
MAIL OUT NO LATER THAN OCTOBER 8TH.
In your reply PLEASE INDICATE YOUR FAVORITE HALLOWEEN STYLE so I can better match people. Do you like vintage, gothic, cutesy or are you a combo?
This should be your very BEST WORK & EFFORT!!!!! Please send something you would be over-the-moon thrilled to receive.
Wishing you all a wickedly wonderful time!
