Friendship book swap - ongoing
Right USA folks you have enough to get started. What you all need to do now is make contact with the person after you in the list and get their address. If you are the last then make contact with the first. Next everyone makes themselves a little friendship book. Be as creative as you want with these and so long as you make sure your real name and address is on the front feel free to put whatever other info you want on your page. When you have filled up your first page send it onto the next person on the list. Everyone does this so their should be 6 little books simultaneously working their way round the country collecting info on others on the list. When you get a book that only has one clear page do your creative bits on this last page but rather than send it to the next person on the list you send it back to the creator of the book. Does this make sense? Let me know if anyone has any questions. It looks complicated but makes more sense when you get going. Hopefully these should work their way round pretty quickly. Because they are so small I would suggest trying to get the books filled in and sent on within about a week. They don't take long at all but they're good fun
So, do we do one page for each person? So the book should have six pages including mine?
OK it rained big time today and I love making little books.So mine is away first thing in the morning.
Chibigirl yes 6 pages. You fill in the front page and send it on to the next person who fills in the second. This keeps going round till each page is filled and then it gets sent back to the person who made it (you in this case).
cool beaners! Do we have a specific date we have to send by or just as soon as we get it done!?
Okay, thanks for the clarification KitKat, i just wanted to be sure. Mine is finished and i'll be sending it to Debs as soon as I can get to the post office!

Hopefully this will work this time! I did it the first two swaps and never got my books back But I did have fun making them and filling them in so it was worth it and all the ones I've seen have been sooo cute! ;D
Welcome aboard Martha - I'm hoping this one will work better as we'll be working with a smaller group of people and there won't be the postage worries. I've also hopefully been able to use the stuff that went wrong to give people a bit of a clearer picture of whats involved. I have a good feeling about this one
Okay UK ladies with Martha joining we now have enough people to start So like the US group we all need to start by making a little book of 6 pages, filling in the front page with info on us including your name and address and making contact with the person who follows us on the list so we can send it on to them. If you are at the end of the line then you send onto the first person. When you reach the last page in a book rather than send on you send it back to the person who made the book - their details should be on the front page. Any questions just let me know
Yay! I'll get on to it tonight
Oh boy. I just got Essex Debs book and I think I made mine way too small. I hope You guys don't mind! Love your book, Debs! Very creative!
No, I made mine too big and with too many pages and yes it does go backwards ! Our friendship books should be as individual as us :0) ! Would love everyone to put their fav mark/stamp on the inner cover .
Oh no. I like yours best. With mine, each of you should have 2 pages, but they're small and the binding makes it hard to doodle on. Your's was cool.
I don't have a stamp, so I'll just give you a doodle. ;)
Don't worry about them all being different - I think thats the fun part
Looking forward to seeing your doodle :0)
Chibigirl~ it's finished and I'm sending it out this afternoon!
