As promised, here are the details of my next Petite Inspiration Box Swap!!!
1. You will be placed in groups of 3 players. You will need to make a "Petite Inspiration Box" for each of the other players in your group (2), and you will receive one back from each of the players in your group (2).
2. The base of the box should be a sliding match box. I found mine at my grocery store in a package of 3 for about $2. These are the larger boxes that measure about 5x2x1, not the teeny-tiny ones. Decorate the outside of each box, and fill them with artsy goodies for your swap partners.
3. The items in your boxes should be vintage or vintage-inspired and ALL ITEMS IN THE BOX SHOULD BE BLACK and/or WHITE/CREAM/IVORY. You can include some Halloween-related items as well, but the whole box doesn't need to be Halloween-themed. Find out your partners' likes and dislikes, collections, favorite crafts, etc. Here are some ideas of what to include: Old buttons, millinery, lace, ribbon, trims, jewelry findings, ephemera, images, charms, cupcake toppers, etc. These boxes are fairly small, so they should be easy to fill up... just be sure to send quality, usable items that you would love to receive yourself. You can see some photos of the boxes from previous swaps here.
4. You will need to mail your boxes directly to your partners by September 27th. PLEASE only sign-up for this swap if you are able to have your swap items created and mailed by this date. As with any swap, it is reallllly important to follow-up with your promise to make quality items and send them on time.

Heather, I just e-mailed you and hope that I can join in. I haven't participated since your inaugural P.I. swap and am anxious to do it again. The B/W theme is perfect and your logo is great! - Amy Bauer
I'd love to join in as I have become a swap addict! I am afraid to commit for the date though, so I will pass this one by :( and watch for your next one. I love the idea of using the larger match boxes.

So sad I missed your lovely swap -- I'm still enjoying very much our last one together. I have been reorganizing my studio and displayed the beautiful prize ribbons you gave me yesterday. Hoping all is well your way!
Big hugs to you,
