			<title>My NEW Matchboxes --- Huh?</title>
			<link>http://createdbyhand.net/index.php?option=com_myblog&amp;show=my-new-matchboxes-huh.html&amp;Itemid=</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;Sooo What is it? A NEW Matchbox LONGS. They are so neat. They're decorated like cigar boxes. I picked them up at the Tobacco Store when I went in looking for the 32ct boxes. I counted the long matches in a couple of the boxes, and there was 14 in one and 19 in the other. So anywhere from 14 - 20 matches in the box (I'm guessing).&amp;nbsp; These look too pretty to alter. Only my MOST Favorite Swap Partners may receive one as an extra, so watch your mail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://api.niRead More...</description>

			<title>Pieces of Me: The Hand You're Dealt ATC</title>
			<link>http://createdbyhand.net/index.php?option=com_myblog&amp;show=pieces-of-me-the-hand-youre-dealt-atc.html&amp;Itemid=</link>
			<description>This represents only a few pieces of me and my life over the past 27 years. I've been in Law Enforcement for most of my life. I was in the Navy for a number of years, then a 911 Operator and a Deputy Sheriff in the State of Florida, then a 911 Operator again in the State of Minnesota and now full time AD in the Air National Guard and working towards retirement. In between all of that, beading and crafting. This is for an ATC swap in the Crafting Queens Group and I have not finished it yet.&amp;nbsp;Read More...</description>

			<title>S-Trick or Treat Halloween Matchbox+Kit</title>
			<link>http://createdbyhand.net/index.php?option=com_myblog&amp;show=s-trick-or-treat-halloween-matchboxkit.html&amp;Itemid=</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;Whoo hoo! I'm really impressed with this one. Going to Columbia, SC to Sereyna.&amp;nbsp; I hope she likes both the Trick and Treat I'm sending her way.&amp;nbsp; The matchbox I used a bit of trickery.&amp;nbsp; It is a Shrine and sort of a nice pretty TREAT (from the outside). I'm proud of it because I was able to use some stuff from around the house to create it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://api.ning.com/files/LSphj69aheKU5-guAEVmJgVHxH6OPtmLeyeXh1o2lruAknZTJaqvmbtCWaQriCv5/STrickorTreatHalloweenMBKit2.JPG?Read More...</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;copied from my blog at Swap Botters Unite&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a much unsettling day yesterday, with yardwork, the dogs, not finding my husband, and the Swap-Bot Drama, I feel a whole lot better. I think I started feeling better when I received an email from RJ that the network was &quot;Cool&quot;. The weight was lifted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Now that that's behind me, I won't dwell on the past, but continue to move forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Last night, rather around 0230hrs this morning, I finally gathered all of my swapRead More...</description>
