Description:

For this swap, you will be making an egg-shaped chunky book full of decorated Easter eggs. Each egg should be approximately ATC sized, so roughly 2.5" by 3.5", cut to shape.

Decorate the egg pages in any way you like - paints, pencils, paper, sponging, stamping, embossing, ribbons, fibres - the world is your oyster (or easter egg). However please try and use as many different techniques as you can, so that each egg is unique! If you need a template, Hobbycraft's website has an egg shape template that you could use. You are not required to make pictures - patterns are fine for this swap, as long as it is significantly more than just pre-printed patterned paper!

Each book should have at least 10 pages, however only the front needs to be fully decorated - you may leave the "backs" quite plain as long as they are covered with a pretty patterned paper or similar. A nice idea could be to use the backs for something like a short quote :) Please bind the books at the top of the eggs, using something like a book ring.

Rules:

No newbies; however as these are quite small and simple compared to most chunky books, I'm willing to let group members who haven't tried chunky books join in.

At least a 4.8 rating - this is the same as for chunky page group swaps, for the reason above. No recent no sends.

International swap, 1 partner

Flakers will not be allowed to join any further group swaps until after they have made good on any swaps outstanding.

OK, I'm on board for this one~maybe she was taken a a computer brake and the first one will not be cancelled?

I've also dropped from the first swap and I'm letting my partner (who ever it might be) know that with the closing date my first day of vacation and the mailing date the day I come back~ I'll get it off by Tuesday night at the latest.

NO wait... I don't leave till Saturday (8th) so I'm good I think?? Unless we don't get our partners till then?

I'll definately be assigning partners as soon as I can here! I think we have everyone here now anyways, so maybe I can assign partners a day or two earlier.

Hi Ozrob - I JUST missed the deletion deadline on the original swap (http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/11592) - but I'll allow it to die gracefully rather than reopening it as I'd just posted, as you have kindly stepped in to the breach. Thank you. :) I'm sorry to have messed you around!

To everyone else - I'm really sorry for letting you down; it's been a 'mare of a recent few weeks, and I'm very glad Ozrob's been able to make sure your work up to now won't go to waste! After all our discussions about what should be required for someone to join the Chunky Book Group, that it should be the group founder who goes AWOL first... ! argh

I really look forward to seeing pics of your books :)

Sally
