Sounds fun, but I've never done a deco and this seems like a lot to start out.. Have any tips for a newbie?

I'm very interested, but that's a lot of decos ! ^^

Here is the swap-bot's definition of a deco : "Decos – A deco is similar to a friendship book and there are a wide variety of types. It is a bound book of pages which are sent around the world. The person that the book is “for” is usually listed on the cover and when the book becomes full it is sent back to them. Each person that receives and signs the deco will decorate one page according to the theme of the booklet (if there is one) and put their postal/email address and sign their name. Typically, each entrant in the “deco” must use one full page to express themselves. Glitter, sequins, feathers and other scrapbooking supplies are frequently used in “decos.” Despite the artistic expressions used in these types of friendship books, the basic rules of passing the friendship book to person to person is the same."

You can see some examples on flickR

I wasn't sure what a "deco" was, so I googled it and found this very informative article about them at "Go Mke Something: An Archive of Projects and Printables by Lisa Vollrath":

I updated it to have only 1 partner. Hopefully that will encourage some folks to join in.

One week to complete is a short amount of time. I'm afraid I wouldn't get done on time.., I really wanted to give this a shot. =(
