So, I gladly toss this idea out into the aether, hoping someone picks it up to wrangle.

Anyway--the idea is to use one of the little match boxes where it is a box with the little drawer that slides out with the matches in there. You take the matches out, then both decorate the outside of the box and fill the inside with contents/little treasures. They are usually done around a theme, such as a color. So the outside would be decorated mostly green, for example, then filled with little green items. The match boxes are so awesome! It's like getting a mini treasure box.

So anyway, just wanted to volunteer the explanation of what they are. If Tommie wrangled, obviously he can suggest whatever theme or anything else he wants. Just seemed like no one had really heard of these before. I'd be very excited to do these again!!! Also, I like the idea of wearable art.

When do you think you might start a signup sheet for the altered matchbox project? Middle of July or later? I'm getting ansty, lol!

Tommy Would we be doing one for every one or one for l person? If one for every one would there be extra time? I Would need extra time as I am very far behind on life. The only child is home until July 19. which is a good but time consuming
