Number of swap partners:10
Description:

This is going to be a super easy quick swap to help establish newbie members to swap-bot. A lot of swaps require a certain rating to join their swaps, but what happens if you are new and don't have very many swaps under your belt? Hence, the reason I thought about creating this swap.

You will have 10 partners ( or however many are available based on the sign-ups) so you will get 10 different ratings for this swap.

Rules and requirements for joining this swap:

  1. You will need to create 10 new friendship sheets.
  2. You will send (1) friendship sheet to each of your partners.
  3. You must commit to rate every person you are partnered with for this swap. That is the reason we are doing so many partners, to help get your ratings higher.

Please do not join this swap if you are a person that doesn't like to rate. Also, please let me know if someone hasn't rated you at the end of the swap.

So like I said, a super easy and quick swap. This swap is for regional (USA) only due to multiple partners and the cost of postage. I will hold an international version separately that you can find by clicking on my user name and seeing my Hosted swaps.

Now for those who do not know what a Friendship Sheet is:

A friendship sheet is made from a piece of paper. It can be a notebook page, piece of colored paper, stationary or what-have-you. It can be any size paper from 8.5 x 11 or smaller. At the top of the paper you write: Friendship Sheet and below it write: For/By: and put your name beside it. Then you can decorate your page if you wish. It's up to you. Next, you add a address label somewhere on the page below the title and For/by section. You can handwrite your address if you want, but it needs to be legible. Next below your address area you can list your likes/dislikes. For example. " ♥ FB, ♥FS, penpals, stickers, decobooks, etc. Please no prisoners". Then on the very bottom of the backside of your FS you should write, " When filled please return to" and put your name and address. When the sheet is filled it will be mailed back to you.

Be forewarned that this could take months, or even years before you ever get it back. I still have ones that are from 2014 that I am trying to get moving.

For a more detailed description you can search for Johndeeregurl44's swaps. She hosts several different friendship sheet swaps for more established swappers and also has a video showing details of what a friendship sheet is. Her youtube video on how to make a Friendship Sheet can be found at: https://youtu.be/PLs1b8R9nHc

Well I hope that explains everything. If you have any questions please contact me.

Thank you Johndeeregurl44 for letting me link to your swaps :)

What do you do with the addresses in the book when it comes back to you?

Johndeeregurl44 08/18/2016 #

@krspellman It is to gain new penpals, friends or swap buddies. Some take the address and make label bags or FB for people. It is also neat to look at all the addresses and see where the book/sheet has traveled and how long it took to come back home. If the books/sheet have a nice design some people like to display them or take pictures of the books they get and share the artwork. It is totally up to what you do with it.

@Stahlrala Hi Sorry I didn't answer sooner. Yes it is a bunch of partners but I was trying to help establish newbies to swap-bot. By sending out to 10 partners, that would get you 10 ratings. With this being a super easy/quick swap everyone would end up getting ten 5 ratings and that is a great thing for someone just starting out on swap bot :)

When I receive my sheets from friends, do I send them on again, or do I hold onto the sheet?

aligurl75 08/31/2016 #

@eileensariot You can hold on to them, I am going to have another round but a little different. Less partners, but mailing more then one to each.
