"A" friendship book swap

what is a friendship book?

"Friendship books (also known as "FBs" in their abbreviated form) are small booklets made by stapling paper together, or are sometimes just sheets or strips of paper. They are usually decorated and the person who starts the book writes their name and address as the first person sending the book. People often include a list of interests as well. The FB is then passed around from penpal to penpal, and can often also become a way for one to meet new penpals. Most people hope to see the book again once it is full so they add their return address to the back cover of the book too, or inscribe "Return to Sender" on it. People also sometimes make FBs for someone else rather than themselves, in which case they write the name and address of the recipient on the front/at the top. Some people find friendship books fun because you can see where they have been in a trail back to the original sender/recipient"

ooh, this sounds fun, how many pages should a friendship book have?? should you make it like an altered book?? I'd love to know more about these, got any pictures?

Just look up Friendship Book's on flickr. They can have as little or as many pages as you see fit.

I would really like to try this. I've never done a friendship book before, but I'm completly confused. You said we will be making 10 friendship books. But we have one partner? Did you mean one book with 10 pages - or we are to make ten books, for one person?

Sorry If this seems dumb...lol...... I would really like to join and I don't want to dissappoint anyone if I'm not understanding this corretly.

I think myself your making 10 friendship books for yourself or someone else to pass on to your partner in the swap, not necessarily for your partner, or you can mix it up and make some for yourself, make some for your swap partner or the person thats sending to you, or someone else that swaps the books.

Eventually you can swap with a lot of different people to keep them going. Thats my thought...I could be wrong, but I believe thats it.
