Description:

This is ideal for those of you who are looking for pen pals and have never recieved or created a friendship book before. However, experienced Friendship Book-ers are allowed to join!

Swap-bot defines a FB as follows:

"Friendship Book (FB) - A booklet that is passed via the mail from person to person. It includes addresses of all the signers and is intended for the recipient to find new penpals and/or swap partners. It is generally made of a few pages of paper (any size, but usually made to fit in a standard size envelope) stapled together. The cover or front page includes who made the booklet (complete with name and address) and who the booklet was made for (complete with name and address). The rest of the booklet is reserved for the “signers.” The person who signs the last available space then sends the booklet back home to the person the booklet was made for."

For this swap you will make two friendship books and sent them to two partners. One book to one, one to the other. They must have at least two pages and how you decorate them is up to you. When you rate, please do not rate on how much you like it, but that you recieved it and that it was at least two pages, remember this will be going back to the person who created it! They can be bound however you like. On the first page where you put your address, include some info about yourself and what you are looking for, i.e. a long lettered pen pal, PC pen pal, etc. If you have any specifications on what you want the people who recieve your booklet to write, make sure you say it on your first page with your info. Remember that you may not get this book back for a while, so make it with quality materials!

Also, if you have other friendship books you would like to pass on, make sure you PM your partner first and let them know, unless its stated in their profile! Please PM me with any questions. Like I said, this swap is open to the newbies as well as the expereienced!!

Flakers will not be tolerated. I have had a few in my swaps and I will be checking profiles and ban you if I suspect you aren't who you say you are. I will angel if necessary!!

I've never made a FB before...I'm not interested in penpals, but perhaps swap partners. Mainly, I just think it would be fun to make a FB and see where it travels. Is it ok for me to join?

Ok...so this is what I understand as a FB...I personally make the friendship book how I would like it...2 or more pages for each partner and a page or two for me to fill out...then I send it too them and they decorate the pages and send it back to me to keep....Is that right?? I just want to make sure I understand how this goes before I sign up so I don't get it all weird and get bad ratings...I'm such a newbie.. XD

I'm with you @aviahz I keep reading this and trying to figure it out too. I am also a newbie. AND I have never made or received a FB. So I think I will keep watching this one. But it looks os fun......

@Kraftylady777 - yes please join! All you need to do is specify on in your friendship book where you write your info, mention what kind of swap partners you are looking for!

@djcamp - I responded to an email from aviaha and explained to her how to do it. If the wording is confusing you should try google-ig friendship books and then click on 'images' and you can see some really great examples! PM me if you are still confused!

@justined0414 I haven't received an email...I don't think...

Fun! I am a Friendship Book noob. I will try it out. So we send our books to our partners and they will send them back, right? Just double checking at the last minutes..... :)

Thanks, Leigh
