Description:

Thanks to @craftcandy for posting in the forums. It is nice to know I am not the only one out there with a FB and no idea what to do with it. Who would want to recieve it? How do I know who is willing to play and who isn't?

Well this swap is for those of us that have a FB and want to start it on its journey. In this swap we will send our FBs to our partner. That's it.

If it goes well we can be able to jump in with the established FB swaps later and have an idea of what is going on. For those that have an established FB and want to join feel free.

This is international and please no one under a 4.5 rating.

This is my first time hosting a non-private swap so feel free to give gentle pointers on that front too. =D

Can we send more than one? I have a bunch that I'd love to pass on...

@courtmm11 -If you want I can make a quick one and send to you so you can have one of your very own. =D

@Emika -Yes that would be fine.

@GirlFriday How many FBs are we supposed to send? If I have only one which is already started (was sent from a friend with many addresses already), but I can make more. Is there a minimum number?

GirlFriday 04/ 6/2011 #

@adrianaclara - Just 1 FB as the min. I basically started the swap because I have a FB someone made for me and when I do see swaps for them there is a usually a req for established FBs.

im new to this but what is an FB?

HotRodLady 04/ 6/2011 #

I'd like to join this swap but I do not have any FB's. Can we start new ones to send? Also, anybody know any good links for making them?

GirlFriday 04/ 7/2011 #

@shadylane06 - a FB is a Friendship Book "which is a booklet that is passed via the mail from person to person. It includes addresses of all the signers and is intended for the recipient to find new penpals and/or swap partners. It is generally made of a few pages of paper (any size, but usually made to fit in a standard size envelope) stapled together. The cover or front page includes who made the booklet (complete with name and address) and who the booklet was made for (complete with name and address). The rest of the booklet is reserved for the “signers.” The person who signs the last available space then sends the booklet back home to the person the booklet was made for."

@HotRodLady feel free to make one. Just make a booklet with blank pages. On the one I have my name, Swapbot name and address is on the back cover.

craftcandy 04/ 8/2011 #

Hey! Thanks for the shout out! I'm glad you made this swap!

GirlFriday 04/ 8/2011 #

You are so welcome! Thanks for bringing it up in the forums. =D

Nandin 04/ 8/2011 #

So, we sign the book, and then keep it until the next FB swap? I'm new to this, so please excuse me if that's a dumb question!

GirlFriday 04/ 8/2011 #

Yeppers. =) or you can just send it to someone you are partnered to from another swap or a tag game or.... whatever...

It isn't a dumb question though.

Nandin 04/ 8/2011 #

Would anyone be willing to make one for me? I just tried a few times and all I'm doing is wasting paper. :-/

GirlFriday 04/ 8/2011 #

PM ing you now.

Mistyinltown 04/ 9/2011 #

Because I want to start swapping them again (I did when I was younger), I need to build up how many I have, I only have 5, but would like to receive as many as I can, since most swaps require so many (there is one right now where 20 are required!). Also I would like to make some, but I don't want to make them for myself. I guess that sounds weird!

I will be joining!

adrianaclara 04/ 9/2011 #

To know what it is, click here and to @HotRodLady and all other girls who wish to learn how to make them, check this link here :)

barrbee31 04/ 9/2011 #

I know how to make Friendship Booklets and just mailed one to day. Would like more to swap with.

Mistyinltown 04/ 9/2011 #

Oh, I would like to add, that if someone has any excess, or last signers (to anywhere international), I will take them! Also any sticker bags. ;)

dfp111 04/11/2011 #

I made 3 of these today and love to do them, however I am a newbie so I can't join in this time! I would love to find others to swap with.

KittyMarie 04/11/2011 #

I don't meet the minimum rating requirement to join this swap...

samjowers 04/11/2011 #

@dfp111 there is a FB swap for a quick pass. You can join as a newbie. Also, this swap doesnt say that newbies cant join and it is designed so that you can start your own FBs and jump in.

dfp111 04/11/2011 #

Thanks for the PM GirlFriday! I am in! Horray!

GirlFriday 04/11/2011 #

I didn't PM you @dfp111 but welcome nonetheless.

samjowers 04/12/2011 #

LOL! :D

GirlFriday 04/12/2011 #

Haha was it you @samjowers that PMd her? If so that was really cool of you =D .
