Trying this again!

SO SORRY to those who signed up last time. I went overseas for two weeks and didn't realize Swap-bot would automatically delete the swap if I didn't do my part within a certain time. This was my first time to host and I didn't know the rules (even though I read them. I swear! Apparently I just don't know how to read.) Rest assured, this won't happen again.

So I'm going to try and redeem myself and offer the swap once more. This swap is for a hand bound book, at least regular journal size--5.5 inches x 8 inches--and at least 25 pages thick (50 pages front and back). This book is sender's choice in style but must be hand bound. Please note: "Hand bound" does not mean pages stapled together, embellished store-bought journals or friendship books. "Hand bound" means made by you and put together in a thoughtful way (sewn is the the traditional method). Embellished pages are absolutely allowed, but as I envision the finished product to be a journal, please allow plenty of space on the pages for the recipient to use for their own purposes.

I'm giving everyone 4 weeks to make this book, so please take your time and send something you would like to receive.

Thanks for signing up and have fun!

i have been looking at how to bind my book and I was wondering if it has to be a sewn stitch or could i use something like a big bite or cinch? I have hand sewn books before so its not an issue if it has to be a sewn one.
