if you've been reading my blog for a while
you know that I have a special love for matchboxes
and a while back I found an entire flickr pool devoted to "matchbox stuffing"
what a great gift for that geek you know
:)

and because I know you're a do-it-yourselfer
take this idea and run with it
I know you can

Hi Kimmie, I love the matchboxes and their wonderful contents... little treasures every one. Thank you for your recent comment on my poem ... Kimmie, you totally understood where I was coming from and that is such a lovely feeling for me, to have you get me. pen xxx
I'm proud to own several of your perfect matchboxes. I'm off to the site, though, to maybe, just maybe create one of my own.
wow both sold already. i used to have a commerically made Frieda Kahlo matchbox and also one of the virgin mary I think but it never occured to me to make one myself. yours are precious.
Very cool gifts indeed!
Oh so cute, whimsical and very creative...........I had never really considered the match box any thing more than a vehicle for the illumination of my candles. I love these, might just, as you say, "run with it". xx

I have received matchbook art from a dear friend but as of yet I have not made a matchbox work of art. This little treasure trove is spectacular. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez stewart

o i just can't stop looking at all the little things...it's like the glass covered trays in antique stores...full of tiny treasure!
Hi Kimmie, I love, love, love your little matchbox gift sets. So sweet! I save all my matchboxes and have upcycled some to hold the bracelets I crochet. I love this idea of tiny little thoughtful gifts. Those pebble faces are so cute. Hope your day is great. Tammy
I will have to pull out all my matchboxes and look thru all their treasures - thanks for reminding me!!!
I see a horseshoe nail in those treasures!!:>)
