Oh, forgot to mention, please don't mail me anything that I have to sign for or that anyone has to sign for. Just mail it normal without insurance. Otherwise it will end up at the post office and I am sooo not going to the NYC post office. Thanks!

Oh, and Ami? Yours arrived and :rrose:(f):koolaid::bouquet::balloon::poc-biggrin::hk13::2nddaywalker::bluebat::vampirebat:

Just bumping as a reminder :-)

I just received my box of little boxes-- Thank you to everyone who participated in the altered match boxes. I really love them-- and some of you are way creative. Thank you again.

I put some skull and unicorn stickers on your box....see your reps

Look on the ends...I found them on some of mine there...I couldn't figure out the tiniest one though...:(...and I wanna know, too...:)

I figured you may recognize mine by the duct tape and sticky glue. :mohawk: The little string for the scroll was compliments of Ts k.
Still waiting on Boxes from Breathless-Canada, then will mail

Nope....yours had a name on it.

You weren't the only one with duct tape, mister mister.

Okay, so that leaves the zig zag skull face with a pink bandana and the teeny tiny one.

Fess up! Who did what?

I did a skull w pink bandana- were there goodies in box? My initials are on bottom of box.

Mysterious Matchboxes
 

Are you talking about the completely handmade matchboxes, each with a pretty gemstone in the middle?

Are you talking about the Zombie one?

I know, but would like the creators to let you know, since there were no names apparent

mine were the little tiny ones. I made the boxes!
Mine arrived and they were all awesome!

The mystery has been solved! I realized that I have two of ahk's boxes. Both are adorable and cram packed with fun goodness (as well as having teeny tiny initials and dates on the bottom).

I was right about the teeniest one being ami's and you said that you did a duct tape one with a tie from kaijira in it.

The rest were clearly labeled.

I have kaijira's one that reminds me of our old 3D project from years ago that I did of a beach scene.

I have clay's biggo box with super cute sugar skulls in it.

I have deb's colorful, stickered box.

I have pure's awesome box with the solitary trinket inside (very chic!).

I have Besame's super romantic box. Very creative, girl!

Last, but not least I have Katniss's zen box.

I did not receive one from okie (but we knew about that in advance) and Breathless did not send hers in, so I don't have one from her either.

That's everyone! All stations are manned and accounted for.


I knew it! It totally felt like you.

I thoroughly enjoyed all of my boxes and really liked this project. I still have some leftover boxes and may play with them on my own to get better at doing this particular craft.

Thanks to all who participated in the matchbox project! I received mine and they were all so different, unique and lovely! This is one talented group!

Just a note about the zen boxes. Yes, they are zen boxes and not mini kitty litter pans! The idea is to pour the sand in the bottom of the box, shake it to smooth out the surface and then place the three stones where you wish. Use the two little wooden sticks I taped to the bottom to draw lines, circles, etc. in the sand. It's supposed to be a meditative practice. :praying:

Just thought I would post that as someone asked why the sticks.

Thanks again everyone! Now, off to finish some Halloween cards! :tarot:

Katniss~~

Let me say,

This was a fun project and exciting to get to see the entire variety from the group. We all did a fantastic job.
