Description:

I hope this will be a lot of fun! If you yard sale or thrift shop at all, you know that there are loads of kid's board books to be had out there. You need to find one, not new but in good condition, and alter it for your partner. I am not putting a size limit on this, because some of the cutest ones are the littlest ones! Check your partner's profile and see what they like, what colors are faves, etc. and create a book just for them! Paint it, decoupage it, add pockets, flaps, envies, embellishments......whatever you think they will like. And if you sign up for this swap, you better have this info in your profile, or your partner won't know what to do for you! On the last page of the book, please write who created it, so your partner will have that information forever. You can deconstruct the book, if the pages get too fat, but be sure you put it back together as a book some how. Notebook rings come in large sizes and work well, but it will be up to you how you choose to do it. Please create a work of art that you would be pleased to receive.

Sorry, no newbies on this one. You must have a 4.9 rating, with no 1's or 3's in the past 6 months, along with a fully filled out profile. You must have a minimum of 25 type 3 swaps under your belt to join this swap. And I will be checking!

I am putting this one due in January, because of the holidays and also because of the time I hope you will be putting into it. Let's make these beautiful little works of art that our partners will love. This is a great group and I know we can make these special!

This sounds like fun, but just to clarify, I would put a few boards together to make a book? is this correct? These are two of my favorite things...yard sale shopping and crafting !!!

Aallyy, a board book is a children's picture book with thick pages. They call them board books because they are heavy duty.
