How many Friendship Books do you have circulating right now? That's a rhetorical question...you can never have too many! (And if you have none...this is your chance to get started.) Welcome to ****Round #2**** of Spankin' New FBs. The first swap was so much fun that I decided to host another, but this round has a twist. :) This swap will emphasize the nice & neat aspect of friendship books. Perhaps you're familiar with FBs and you have a few circulating... but you've never made one of the N&N caliber. Maybe you've never entered a N&N FB swap for fear of being rated down for your first attempt at laminating. Or maybe you've never created a FB but you are interested, and you want to develop some good habits from the start. Whatever the case - NOW is your chance to get your creative groove on, and practice making some N&N FBs. ****FB Swappers of ALL skill levels are welcome!**** Participants will be creating ****6 new N&N Friendship Books**** (1 per partner) to start circulating in the wide world of pen pals! These FB's should be small but sturdy, and should express the talent and workmanship of their creators. ****Good Tips for N&N Friendship Books****
If you need further information on FB's to get you started: Squidoo's FB Tutorial (VERY HELPFUL!) These are mostly sender's choice. FB's can be any theme, and can be made FOR someone else if the creator prefers. Just make sure your work is quality! Don't simply staple notebook paper together and slap on a sticker to call it done. Send something you are proud to have created. These are nice & neat, so your time and effort should be evident. That being said, receivers should rate a ****5**** if the swap arrives in a timely manner and the sender put obvious effort into their FBs. (decorated, sturdy, no staples in the front cover) Don't rate down if there is a small bubble in the lamination or some small mistakes here and there :) Remember that this is an intro swap into N&N FBs...so folks are learning. Let's make this a fun learning experience. You'll have 4 weeks after sign-up to complete your books. That's creating 2 books per week if you like to pace yourself, and then a week to post them. (You could also start making your books before partners are assigned if the creative-bug bites.) ****Participant Requirements:**** Rated swappers with a 4.95. Newbies are welcome at host's discretion, but profiles MUST be well filled-out. (I will check before assigning partners) Please ensure that you can follow-through if you sign-up... You will have 6 partners, and this is international. If you must be late for some reason, please be polite and contact your partners. Thanks! I don't expect any flakers, but I will angel if necessary. 0:-) Questions, comments, suggestions? Please feel free to post in the discussion section, or PM me. |
