Travelling Stamp Book (round nr.1)
Swap Coordinator:PhoenixSwap (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Paper Crafts  Friendship Books 
Number of people in swap:2
Location:Regional - Europe only
Type:Type 2: Flat mail
Rating requirement:4.90 (unrated swappers allowed)
Last day to signup/drop:July 12, 2013
Date items must be sent by:July 31, 2013
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

You will sent a small notebook (the mesurements of mine are around 10,5 cm x 7 cm x 0,2 cm - so flat mail with low postage) to one partner.

In this book you will write your name & that you are the owner of it. You will stamp a (rubber, clear, handcarved, you don't have to but you can even decorate it) stamp into it. Under the stamp you write your name and/or nickname, the city/country you live in and the date.

The idea is that this book will keep on travelling in next rounds and each time someone will put a stamp in it, and finally it will return back to you, so don't forget to put your address in it!

In mine I also wrote an explanation about it, so if someone would pass it forward to a penpal or in another swap instead of the next round, the receiver will also know what to do with it.

I also wrote that if the last person who gets it & has to sent it back to the owner, will receive a surprise (but that's not an obligation to write into the book).

But when sending the book to your partner you will also sent a small -senders choice- surprise (stickers, postcard, ...) so that your partner also has something to keep. Because the book will be forwarded!

It can also be nice to put your stamp also on another paper for your partner to keep.

I make these rounds Europe only but if you decide not to join the next rounds, it's also ok to sent it forward to a non European country.

Let me know if there are anymore questions & enjoy this first round!

@ priscilla: voorlopig hou ik het enkel bij dit stempel boekje @ cynaemon & @ Wingy: if you or someone else wants to host a USA version feel free to do so :)

I just wanted some clarification, does the stamp have to be handcarved by us or can we use store bought rubber stamps?

PhoenixSwap 07/10/2013 #

@HannahA91 it doesn't matter if it is a handcarved or store bought one, just choose one with something on it that you like, you can also choose the colour of ink you use, it's not an obligation but if you like you can also decorate it by colouring it in with pencils/markers :)
