~Friendbooks~ (fbs)

These are really simple. Friendbooks travel around from one penpal to another. It creates a little network of friends. In the end you get to see all the places its been and hopefully meet some new friends to talk to. We're sending 5 fbs to one person so they have a better chance of coming back to you. Sometimes they may get lost in the mail, or someone may not know what to do with them and they never make it home. Sending 5 gives you a better chance of seeing one of the little guys again. Also they may take different paths, see different places, and help you make different friends.

What they are

They range from 3in x 3in to 5in x 5in depending on how much information you want people to put. *Just take a piece of cardstock, or thick paper, cut it to be about 4inches by 4inches when folded. Put a little decoration on the front, a few sparkles or stickers. Get creative. *Staple about 3 pieces of paper inside (The more room it has on the inside the more information people can put and the longer they'll be travelling the world ) So if you want it to come home faster put less paper. *Next add your address on the inside of the cardstock with 'Return to: (your address) when full' inscribed.

~When you recieve your fbs~

*Sign your name and add your address, some people like to add interests for whoever it returns to. *After you sign your name send them out to someone else who is not already in the book. Try to send them to a penpal or someone that does fbs too. *When it gets full the last person is supposed to send it back to the creator. Dont send the fbs back until all of the space is taken up and no one else can fit in. Do Not keep the full fbs for yourself, wouldnt you be sad if none of your fbs ever came home after that long hard journey around the world?

If anyone else has a question do not hesitate to send me a message

I'll be sending this out as an email for everyone to read, just as a little reminder and to make sure everyone knows what to do. I'm so glad you guys signed up for my swap!!

Thank you SO MUCH for doing this. :D

Oooh.... Want to join so much, but I won't be home til the 24th :( I'll keep a look out in case you guys do some more of these swaps :)

@lizgold I do plan on doing some more of these for everyone, hopefully you can join next time :)

Have mine ready to go.

So u will make 5 of these friendship books and mail it to the one partner you are assigned? Why so many to one person?

Just because you're sending all five to one person doesnt mean they wont eventually break up and travel different paths

Where can I find some pictures about this?

If my partner has a bunch of FBs and wants to send more than 5 to keep them moving, that's fine with me! :]

Hi - I'm new here and this will be my first swap :) When are we assigned our partner - is it closer to the swap date? Thanks!

Are we making FBs for ourselves and sending them?

Hi billowing - I tried to reply to your message, but it wouldn't let me for some reason. Ready and Raring to go!

If my partner wants to send more to keep them moving I would love it ... OR send me any other swap things like bags or slams, crams etc... I am beyond addicted!

This is my first FB, so a question I have is, does the paper that we put on the inside of the book have to be blank so that both sides can be written on?

Can you give me a little more review about this book? bad ice cream is curious about it.

To ensure that tunnel rush everyone is aware of what needs to be done, I will be sending this out as an email for everyone to read. You folks signing up for my swap makes me so happy!
