Hello Friends!
Well, I've been down for the count for the last week
due to a cold that came on like a lion.
I think it's finally moving on,
but I had to share a bright spot in my week last week,
my swap from Tami, my partner in JoAnne's Matchbox Swap.
If you read my post last week, you may remember
that I said that my partner and I were a perfect match?
If you didn't read it, :O
or don't remember, :(
you can scroll down
or click here.
OK, if you don't want to click,
here is an excerpt:
"I made this altered matchbox for a swap at Vintage Dragonfly:
There is more texture and color variation to the matchbox
than you can see in this picture.
My partner prefers Fall colors and not too creepy,
so we were a perfect match!"
Well.
Imagine my surprise when I opened my box to find this:
Mine:
Hers:
Yes! We used the same frame!!

If matchboxes had sisters, they would be sisters!
So, that whole perfect match thing...
But a little bit spooky, right? :)
It is really a lovely matchbox, and Tami filled it with wonderful
seasonal goodies, thank you, Tami, I love it!
To get even more mileage out of this matchbox swap :D
I took photos of the presentation.
Here is my card...
...clear away the cobwebs (figuratively) :)

Due to the cold, I had to miss my Paper Soiree meeting, :(
but I did manage to make little favors for everyone:
Some washi tape wrapped around an inked spool, some baker's twine,
a skeleton hand hot glued into the hole,
and some Tim Holtz Halloween tickets.
I wish I'd taken a pic of them all together,
they were pretty cute.
