Description:

Time for a friendship book swap to move some of those friendship books you've finished and have lying around. For those who don't know what friendship books are, they are booklets made from paper attached by staples, brads, or other creative ways to attach pages. It is made for someone, perhaps yourself or a pal and is passed on to others for them to add their address and other info. When it is full, the last person returns it to the one it is made for. You can use a variety of embellishments including ribbon, glitter, fabric, different papers, jewels, brads, etc. Be creative.

This swap will include new friendship books that you want to get started and established ones that you need to move. The swap will be for 20 friendship books to two partners. 20X2=40. You must have a rating of 4.7 to join, newbies are welcome with a filled out profile. I will check profiles and will remove anyone not suitable for the swap. Please make sure the envelope you are mailing your swap in will hold up in the mail. Add extra tape or use a bubble mailer if needed. PLEASE no more than two homers in the swap.

I am a bit confused since everyone's version is a little different for these slams, decos, frienship books, etc....

So these books we would mail :10 books to each of our 2 partners (20 books total) eventually are returned to us when they are filled? Who do we send them onto next? Or are they just returned to us (10 from each person we sent 10 to) with only their name and addresses and we keep sending them out again? It doesn't look like anything happens except you get 10 each from 2 people with their addresses. I have done these so many different ways I need to be sure. Thanks for any help you may give. :)

The friendship books are returned to the owner when it is full, if you made it for yourself, then eventually it should come home to you. Once you receive your swap of fbs then you will pass them on to your pen pals or swappers until that book if full, at that time the last person will return it to the one it is made for. You should not receive the same book twice unless you made it for yourself and then you will get it back when it is full.

Oh okay, I think I get it. So if it is new I can expect nothing back from this swap, as they would have to get full (somehow) before returning to me. Thank you! :)

If you send out all new fbs then it would take awhile for them to get full and come back to you. One thing that will help them fill up sooner is to not make them large and not have so many pages. I usually make mine no bigger then 3X5 and only add about 4 pages as that is really 8 pages, front and back.
