Description:

Alter the cover and some of the inside pages of a blank theme book, inexpensive journal or spiral bound book for your partner.

Book should be at least 4"x6" but not bigger than 7"x9" to keep shipping cost down.

Paint it, color it, collage it. Use tabs, pockets, bookmarks, clips, ribbon, string. Add a closure or not. Draw on some of the pages, leave little notes, add photos, stampings or clip art. Glue in fancy pages, random pages, vintage pages or glue a few pages together. Use your watercolors, markers or pastels.

Make it interesting, themed or random but be sure to leave space for the recipient to personalize it. Mostly, have fun! There are very few rules besides it being something you would like to receive :)

1 book for 1 partner (You'll probably have so much fun with it you'll want one for yourself. I always make two )

Theme books can be found at Walmart for under $1. Michael's also has lots of spiral bound and little hardback journals in the dollar bins. These turn out really cute! I usually start one or two by prepping my covers and leave them out, adding things as I run across them.

Have fun! I hope we get lots of swappers :)

I was just at my local Wal Mart yesterday & I bought theme books for .25 (yes cents) each!

She is completing it more than we will be for this swap but she has some great ideas to get the creative juices flowing :)
