Description:

I need four players for this swap. You will create a vintage themed deco with 8 pages available for decorating. Complete 2 pages yourself - front and back, inside doesn't matter as long as there are 6 pages still to decorate when you send it. Make sure to clearly describe your deco and include your name and swapbot user name on the inside front cover and back cover so we know who it belongs to.

The deco will then be sent to your partner. That person artistically decorates 2 pages and sends it on to their partner. So it goes until all four people in the swap have completed 2 pages in each book.

Please keep your decos to a maximum of 8x10 inches.

You can make requests for sub themes within the vintage style (such as romance or travel) when you send off your deco but try to keep it general enough that everyone will enjoy the creative process. Instructions are to be written on the inside front cover of the book so they cannot get lost and are easy to find. Remember one of the great things about decos is that you get to put something in first up that you like and then all your partners are able to put their own creative touches to the work with what you have done for inspiration. There is no right or wrong!

I have desgnated a long time frame to allow for creativity and postage. When your book comes back to you please rate your partner.

Please be prepared to commit to doing the 4 books and sending regularly.

When you send your book off for the first time please mark it as sent in the swap. After that please leave a comment below whenever you receive and post a book so we can all keep track of where they are. Just think - wont it be lovely to know where you book is and that you will get it back soon!

Note: As soon as four people are in the swap I will assign partners to get things rolling.

Have sent my deco to Gofeen today. Loving this and can't wait to see the rest.

Okay, mine is on it's way to Japan! I have done an 80s cartoon deco book. Have fun everyone!

Gofeen 11/22/2010 #

I have sent both my own book and Manjigirl's book off today. Sorry I was so long sending mine out.

tiggerkitn25 11/28/2010 #

I got Gofeen's and manjigirls's books today. I'll have to look around for some children nursery rhyme books and illustrations. =)

Sad to say there has been a hiccup and Sanae's deco has gone missing in the post. She has PM'd me to say she is sending another. Will keep you posted. Cheers and merry christmas

tiggerkitn25 01/ 4/2011 #

Okay, I have sent: - @Gofeen s deco to @Manjigirl - @Manjigirl s deco to @Sanae

So I am only waiting to decorate Sanae's deco once that gets sorted out.

Manjigirl 01/ 8/2011 #

Have pm'd @sanae to let her know the changes and also check on where tiggerkitn25's and sanae's books are at. Have asked for her address to forward @Gofeen s to her and will send gofeens address to her with the book. Phew! Only 22 days left for the swap - Hopefully we can get it all done. Cheers

Manjigirl 01/12/2011 #

Received @Gofeen s journal from @tiggerkitn25 today. Nothing from @Sanae yet. Look forward to hearing from you / receiving the packages. Cheers

Manjigirl 01/13/2011 #

Gofeen's Journal is ready to go. Just waiting to receive from Sanea before I send so I can get her address. Cheers

Manjigirl 01/21/2011 #

Received @tiggerkitn25 and @Sanae ' journals today - looking great. Will put my thinking cap on and send them on soon. Will try to send @Gofeen s to Sanae early next week. Cheers.

Manjigirl 01/24/2011 #

All three journals are now in the mail. Gofeen and tiggerkitn25 I think are on their way home after the next person, and Sanae still has 2 to go. They are really interesting. I love the challenge of working on someone else's project. cheers

tiggerkitn25 01/26/2011 #

Thanks for the updates! I'm glad to see mine on the move. =)

Manjigirl 02/17/2011 #

How are these all going???? Who has received and sent in the last three weeks?

tiggerkitn25 02/23/2011 #

I still need Sanae's deco. Her's is the last one I need to do pages for. Did you mail anything to me, or did it go to Gofeen?

Manjigirl 03/ 8/2011 #

Hi all. Just received my finished deco and WOW! I love it. Thank you so much for being troopers and finishing the project. I hope you all receive yours too soon. Don't forget to rate your partner when you receive your deco and thanks again. Hugsxx

tiggerkitn25 03/14/2011 #

Sanae's in Japan. Looks like she was online on the 10th, but that was just before all the quake/tsunami that happened this weekend. I hope she's okay.

tiggerkitn25 04/ 5/2011 #

UPDATE! This was mailed out to @Sanae yesterday, April 4th. I sent it with another swap. So that should complete this one! =)
