MAKE A BOX - MAY 2011

Your swap for May is to make a box and this time, it will be a direct swap.
When sign up is over (will have a date this time) I will send you your swap partner so you know who you're making for.
Any size and any shape (including purse/bag types) as long as you can put something in it - decorate how you want.

If any of you don't want to/can't make a box or are concerned about postage, just say and I'll change it.

Sign up by Monday 2nd May
Boxes to be POSTED on Monday 23rd May.

Yes please.

Do we have to actually make a box, or can we decorate/alter
one ? Just a thought.

You've got to make one Steph.

OK

I need more guidance!!!! make a box how? out of what? and what size? Id never manage one like your lovely cantilever box, but maybe you mean different to that.

Mia, make a box like those you made at Christmas ... they are superb and not too heavy on the postage either!!! Save a cereal box to use for the packing!!! (There, lecture from Mumty is over now).

Lorraine, sign me up please as usual! xxx

I think I will give this one a miss and join in the next months.

Whatever you made at Christmas sounds fine Maria. I always use bazzil cardstock for my boxes but cereal boxes are good too.

Me please.

oh go on then. I need the distraction.

I think mum means the cereal box for packaging it up in, not for actually making it in.

Yay! Good good girl Mia. Yes, I meant for the postage and packing (the cereal box) not the actual box!!

Thanks Kim - some interesting pieces there.

Think I will give this one a miss, Lorraine: would need to spend quite a bit of time on it and we have visitors, cricket and goodness knows what this coming month.
