Hi! I'm Telana Simpson, and I'm trading one matchstick for offices. I started this project on 12 June 2006, and will be trading items up until I get offices. Do you want an exclusive party with rock band WONDERboom, my latest item up for trade? Send me an email (onematchstick@gmail.com) or give me a buzz or sms on +27837302979 to make your offer. When I get my offices, I'll be contributing some space to mentoring a start-up entrepreneurial enterprise. I'm in Jozi, South Africa, and will go anywhere in South Africa to make the trade- I'll even consider anywhere in the world if the trade is right!
PS- watch the movie about my story here. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, read this 2 pager that explains my story so far. It'll make a light bulb turn on- promise!

Hallelujah! I've finished!
22 September 2011

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah-hallelujah-ha-leee-lu-jah!

And if you don't like my singing along with the chorus of angels in my head, then try this video clip of the Johann Strauss Orchestra and the Harlem Gospel Choir! They do a much better rendition!


This is what I've been hearing in my mind since Wednesday morning 21 September. As it was then that I got the final nod from the awesome team at Springleap – to say they have accounted for all my 375 T-shirt trades that they facilitated for my tenth trade.

Remember – way back in August 2009 I traded the party with DJ Al for 150 people with Eran and Eric for 375 Springleap T-shirts? And then I started my epic trade of trading all 375 T-shirts with 375 people?

Well, 780 days later, I have finished this trade! Hallelujah! Thank you to all of you who took part in this trade and helped me make it happen. And to those who supported me and cheered me on!

Now. The next steps.

1. I have finished my "wearing only Springleap T-shirts" pledge that led me to develop an 'Ellen Look' – so now summer dresses are back!

2. I have to decide now what to trade on up with.

The nature of the deal I made with the T-shirts, means I get to choose what am going to put on offer to trade.

So, while I mull over a few ideas and options, if you are reading this and think you have an idea of a fab item of some sort (product/ services/ experience/ etc), then get in touch with me and let’s chat!

Otherwise, watch this space – I'll be announcing soon what my next step will be! I think I'm going to surprise myself!

ONE left! Be my Hero!
07 September 2011

So I now have one Springleap T-shirt left to trade, as part of finishing my tenth trade.

Exactly 1.

O-N-E!

So, who is going to be my T-shirt Hero and trade with me for my last T-shirt?

It's taken me nearly 2 years to trade 374 T-shirts... so how long will it take to trade the very last one?

If you want to be the onematchstick Hero and my Hero, then all you need to do is follow the below instructions, and then contact me with your order number! Email or sms 0837302979 or tweet me!


How to trade with me by buying your T-shirt and make it count towards my onematchstick trade:

1. If you haven't registered yet on www.Springleap.com, now's the time to do so.

2. When you are logged in, choose the T-shirt you want. You can choose ANY design. Click on the SHOP button to see the available designs.

3. When you find the T-shirt you want, click on the size you want (there is a link which explains the sizing and the ladies T-shirts are a lady's cut). Once you click on the size, it gets added to your "shopping cart".

4. When you've finished adding your T-shirt to your shopping cart, click on the shopping cart icon on the top right hand of the screen.

5. Enter in your delivery details, and where it says "if you have a Springleap coupon, enter it here:" you enter the code, which is: onematchstick (all lower case, one word). This is a VERY IMPORTANT STEP! Please remember to add the code! this is how springleap tracks that it is a trade with me, and it costs you nothing.

6. Choose your delivery options, then click the confirm and pay button.

7. Check your details, and then you can choose to pay by EFT or by credit card.

8. Just follow the prompts and you will have finalised trading with me, and your T-shirt will be delivered to your door by courier in about 3 days.

9. Email or sms 0837302979 or tweet me your order number so I can add it to my list of trades as the FINAL TRADE!


Yippeeee!

Thank you!
Telana
