Description:

THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL SWAP! Unlike most of my swaps.

All of us have favorite movie lines which have made their way into our vocabularies; from "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." (Gone With the Wind) to "I'll have what she's having!" (When Harry Met Sally) and "Be Careful" (ET).

For this swap we will make a book by making one small book, not requiring high-quality paper. It will travel from person to person, like a Deco or Friendship Book. On the first page put YOUR favorite movie quote, with the name of the movie and the name of the character who said it, if you recall, and anything else you want to add. One page per movie, please. Ideally One page per person, but if you have a burning desire to share more than one, go for it. Use the BACKS of pages, please.

For example: "Teacher says, every time a bell rings, another angel gets it's wings." "It's A Wonderful Life." George Bailey's daughter (hunt up her name on IMDB.com and add it.), last scene in the movie." "Open the pod bay doors, H.A.L."...."I don't think I can do that, Dave." (2001: A Space Odyssey) Keep the books small enough to fit into a standard envelope. It's probably okay to add another quote from the same movie, if there is room on the page. Decorating the page with images or pretty papers is up to each individual.

When your book is done, you will mail it to one partner, who will do a page. From there, it will circulate to others, who will add their favorite movie quotes, and so on. This will be a series until, at the end, we all get our little books back, with a collection of movie quotes and a list of movies we might want to see, and perhaps an introduction to some International films.

This will be a continuing swap. Please include your email address with your Swap-bot name and name and address. That way you are assured of getting your book back at the end. When you get someone's book, please send them an e-mail telling them where it is, so they can keep track of it.

Please don't sign up for this swap if you can't commit to DOING the swap. You must have a well filled out profile and a rating of 4.98 to sign up. I check profiles before assigning partners. If you are a newbie, message me, and we can perhaps do a private swap until you get some good ratings and you can join the ongoing swap.

This swap came to mind because my sister and I were watching old movies, and saw "ET" and "2001: A Space Oddessy". We started talking about quotes that move into common usage. Behold, A Swap Is Born!

Will anyone make this in an USA only version? I wanna do this badly! Just can't afford international costs :(
