You can simply attach a playing card unaltered as the cover or you can art up the playing card. You will have 3 partners....send 3 playing card Fb's to each partner. If you want to know more about Fb's, you can google 'Friendship Books' or check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_book This swap is open to international, so be prepared you might be mailing overseas depending upon who Swap Bot pairs you up with. I will try my best to weed out flakers (no recent "1's", etc), and can probably angel if any flaking occurs. Newbies are welcome in this swap.

I'm confused. I thought Fb's were Fat Books, not Friendship books. How do Friendship books work?

There are lots of different definitions to 'Fb's.'

Fb's in this case are penpal Friendship Books. They have a cover, and a number of pages to sign in with your address label and details of what you are looking for in a penpal, or want to trade, etc. The person the Fb is made For is the first person listed, then the second person listed is the one who Made the Fb, although sometimes that can be the same person...then you swap the fbs with other fb swappers/penpals who sign in them and pass them on. When full, they should be sent back to the first person listed. Since some folks don't have regular swappers to trade fb's with, these kinds of swaps are great, although this particular fb swap is to make new ones, not swap established Fb's (est. Fb's = ones with more than two signers, but not full yet).

I have just described regular Fb's. There are many kinds of fb's,. including decos: where you get a full page per person to decorate on a theme, Slams: either a list of questions to answer per person or each page has a word that you sign that page if you like that item/theme,...Google 'Friendship Books', you 'll find lots of different webpages and different types of Fb's.

O.K. got ya, I was hoping it was a fat book trade where you get really creative with fibers and such to make them artsy, but I see it is more of a penpal type. Thanks for explaining or I might have joined and my partners disappointed.

Now just one is 'not sent', but they were away, so I hope they come back and catch up soon :-)

I have now emailed the only one who has not sent, if she doesn't get to it and click Sent by week's end, I have advised her that her swap partners will be notified that they have my advice to rate her a '1', and I will angel.
