Would anyone be interested in doing a matchbook swap?

I don't know how. Can you explain a little? Size, etc. Sounds interesting though.

Matchbookks are a long piece of paper folded up to look like a matchbook and you put little treats inside.

I will got and get an example.

I've done a couple of those - one I made was a mini scrapbook - larger than a matchbook, but smaller than a breadbox! LOL

I'm not going to join any swaps right now - much to much going on - but if it falls over into the new year I'd be interested.

Kathy, that was a really nice one. Mine didn't come out huge at all, perfect size.

What do you do with them after you make them?
