Description:

For this swap, you'll send a larger package than usual because your partner will use it for an altered board book. Board books are those small cardboard children's books that usually only have about 6 or 8 pages.

Send the usual package with a little bit of everything. Scrapbook paper, stickers, die cuts, book illustrations, bingo cards, atcs, inchies, zentangles, doodles, cut out sentences or words, embellishments, old photographs, flash cards, stamped images, hand drawn things, etc. Anything that counts as ephemera basically.

Here's the extra piece we don't usually do - also send your partner a used board book they can use as their base. They are all over at thrift stores and yard sales for relatively cheap. Or just raid the bookshelves of any three-year old you know because they've probably grown out of them.

No theme is required, sometimes the joy of these swaps is building something from what seems like unrelated pieces. But if you can come up with a theme, good for you (especially if it is profile-based)! But, to reiterate, no theme is required for the swap.

I'm sorry, I know we usually make these international, but because this is a little bigger than usual and the cost of postage, this one is US only. But if you are international and want to host a similar swap, please feel free.
