Description:

You can still join, also if you haven’t done the previous round(s). This is round 8 of 10

You can also check the forum about this swap.

You will sent a small notebook (the mesurements of the one I sent were 10,5 cm x 7 cm x 0,2 cm (weight lower than 100 gr.) - so flat mail with low postage) to one partner.

In this book you will write your name & that you are the owner of it. You will stamp a (rubber or clear or handcarved - you don't have to but you can even decorate it - ) stamp into it.

Under the stamp you write your name and/or nickname, the city/country you live in and the date.

The idea is that this book will keep on travelling in next rounds and each time someone will put a stamp in it, and finally it will return back to you, so don't forget to put your address in it!

In mine I also wrote an explanation about it, so if someone would pass it forward to a penpal or in another swap instead of the next round, the receiver will also know what to do with it.

I also wrote that if the last person who gets it & has to sent it back to the owner, will receive a surprise (but that's not an obligation to write into the book).

But when sending the book to your partner you will also sent a small -senders choice- surprise (stickers, postcard, ...) so that your partner also has something to keep. Because the book will be forwarded!

It can also be nice to put your stamp also on another paper for your partner to keep.

Let me know if there are anymore questions & enjoy this round!

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU RECEIVED A FULL BOOK IN THE LAST ROUND?: You’ll have to sent this book back to the owner, so you can’t forward it again in a next round. But off course you can join this round with a new book you bought/created.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DECIDE TO STOP JOINING THE NEXT ROUNDS, BUT YOU STILL HAVE A BOOK FROM SOMEONE?: You can sent it back to the owner, even if it isn’t full yet. Or sent it to a penpall or someone of who you are sure they will forward it. Or ask on the forum if someone would like to receive and forward it. Ideas enough but don’t just keep it at home. Thank you! :)

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE NEXT ROUND IS ALREADY UP BUT YOU HAVEN’T RECEIVED THE BOOK FROM THE PREVIOUS ROUND YET: you can wait with joining until you have received the book, it’s also ok to skip a round, but if you haven’t received a book because your partner flaked it is ok to join with a new book or you can contact me if I need to angel

MORE QUESTIONS?: Please contact me

Wingy, I have your book this time, so, yes, it is still circulating. My partner this round actually sent me two books. I can send you the extra if you wish to join.

if your partner doesn't sent you the book please let me know, because then I will contact that person about it & if I have to ban that person from the next rounds you can always join with a new book I can also check who should have your book

Sorry guys will have to drop after this one. My school starts in March. I'm leaving to Russia in 3 weeks. So I will be sending the journal to the owner. Please, don't be mad. I was hoping we'd be done by now. But I will make sure you get it back(whoever the owner will be after this round))

@streetjewel don't worry, I'm sure you will sent the book to the owner, thank you for joining!!! :)
