Description:

The original host of this swap series @LauRad83 hasn’t been around Swap-Bot in quite a while so.! And the other person that was hosting it was also @PrettyAlice but I saw that she was taking a break. With that being said let’s get these notebooks moving again

ALL BOOKS HAVE TO HAVE TRACKING !!!!

If you have a book from the previous swap fill it out and send it to your partner. For new participants read below.

To start, find a small soft cover book about A5 size (5x7 inches). Something like a travel notebook inserts with about 30 pages should work perfectly. The book should not be too thick or heavy and please no spiral books. Think about the weight of the book and the cost of sending it.

The first person starting the book will decorate the cover however they choose, wallpaper, wrapping paper, anything you like.

Inside the front cover write your name, address (so the book is returned when it is full) swap name and your swap-bot username.

On a page or 2 write a bit about your day, your location, something about the weather, whatever. You may decorate the page if you wish. Add a photo, a drawing if you wish, and tape in with washi or clear tape. Use only pens that do not bleed onto the next page, please. Don't forget to date your entry. You may add something separate for your partner if you wish, a pen pal intro letter or something else related to their likes, but you don't have to. Also, write your swapbot ID so you can be rated.

When you are done with your page send the book onto your partner.

That partner will then wait for the next swap in this series and fill out their page(s) and send on to their partner and so on.

Once the book is full the last person to write in the book will send it to the owner of the book, and start a new book

The whole process then starts again.

At the end when your book is returned to you, you will have a book full of stories from around the country.

Please allow plenty of time to receive and send the book. This swap will take commitment to subsequent swaps in this series. If you don't plan on continuing with later swaps please don't join. I'm sorry but this is supposed to be fun.

Any questions please message me

Please keep the books to A5 or smaller and no heavy hardcover books please. Be considerate of others who will have to pay for postage to send the book in each round.

Hi! I did this Swap a lot of rounds back, but I don't have a notebook anymore so can't join (notebook was sent back to the owner) but can the person who had my notebook please contact me as I have moved recently so I can give you my new address and I would like it back sooner or later. :3 There was an owl on the front cover. Here is a picture of it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrO9MsHYfW/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Thank you!

@Kimspiration - I have not seen that one yet but will keep an eye out for it. If it crosses my desk I will most definitely send it home to you! xx G

Does anyone know if there is a cheaper way to get international tracking besides sending the book as a package? The book I'm sending it tiny and could fit in an envelope with a 1oz stamp. PO said that I have to stuff a larger envelope or box with tissue or other materials if I want to send it as a package.

@teejlc you can send it as a package with media mail you don't have to put it in a package just an envelope with tracking the reason for tracking is because then it doesn't get lost in the mail just sending it as a normal piece of mail it could get lost, and no wants that to happen when it comes to the journals
