Description:

I love Autumn. The weather cools, the trees change colors and Halloween is here! Your mission if you choose to accept it is to make a HALLOWEEN THEMED ALTERED BOX.

  • the box should at least be 3 1/2" wide
  • there is no material stipulation on the box as long as it opens + closes its considered a box just make sure to be creative as possible.
  • decorate the outside a n d the inside
  • use glitter, images, beads, stickers - let your imagination go wild!
  • go for hearts and style it to your partners liking - if your their favorite show is the munsters make it a munsters/halloween box :)
  • make sure to see your partners profile for any dislikes (witches, horror, etc...)
  • add a special treat inside as an added surprise (stickers, candy, pins, postcard, rubber stamp, etc..)

Please make a real effort to send something nice to your partner and dont forget to have fun!

The only requirements is at least one swap with a 4.5 or above. This is USA and Canada only because of the high shipping cost to send a box. Feel free to start an international swap - I would love to see pictures from swappers in other countries.

  • i am moving up the date to August 30th cuz I wont be around to assign partners this weekend. :) Just a heads up.

Please do not use glitter on my box.
It gets all over everything and never goes away.

Thank you.

Hi Phoenyx - Noted. Also I noticed your profile says you are allergice to cats. I have cats and so does my room mate. When partners are assigned - I will make sure to find you someone who does not have a cat. :)

As long as the cat hair is contained.. it should not be too much of a problem. I only had problems with one swap.. and it was covered in hair. Usually paper goods do not carry the hairs as much as fiber goods..

covered?!?!?! what the heck is that about? thats just insanity! haha

Wanda 09/11/2007 #

WOW, Gatorsmom - you are FAST! I can't wait to see it! Maybe it will arrive in the mail later today. :)

Beckster, yours is done, but I am waiting until my DIL comes today to see it before I wrap it up and mail it. It will go out to you either today or tomorrow. I hope you like it. I had so much fun making it.

I just uploaded two photos (in backwards order!) of the box I altered. BECKSTER, if you want to be surprised, don't look.

I will fill it now, and then get it mailed out this afternoon.

Gosh, Venus - I am so glad you think so! Thank you! I just got back from dropping it off at the Post Office.
