Description:
This swap is for all the swappers who are new to Friendship Books or just a little curious and would like to have a go but not sure if it's your thing or worried that your Friendship Books aren't up to the standard of more experienced FB makers. For this swap you need to make 3 new Friendship Books :) & send to 1 swap partner. Your Friendship Book needs to have a cover of some kind and the booklet needs to have at least 3 pages attached. You can make your FB out of anything you like. Cover the FB cover in clear contact (book covering) or with sticky tape so that it doesn't get damaged. Your FB cover can be decorated with ribbons, stickers, glitter, embellishments, paint, drawings etc anything at all, keeping in mind that it could spend years being passed around between swappers. Make them as durable as possible :) This swap is open to EVERYONE who wants to have a go. My only request is that you take the time to complete your Swap-Bot profile in FULL (Fill out all the categories & add some on your own). I am giving this swap a long deadline so that everyone has a chance to participate and to spend some time making their FB's without trying to rush & getting flustered :) If you need more help with what a Friendship Book looks like or how to make one, please feel free to PM me. As this swap is open to EVERYONE who wants to have a go, I will angel this swap if necessary but hopefully that won't be needed and everyone has alot of fun with this swap :)

This was copied from the Swap-Bot Help pages :)

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 â€œsigners.â€ The person who signs the last available space then sends the booklet back home to the person the booklet was made for.
