Description:
As we all know by now, a deco is a small booklet with the cover decorated by "the owner." The owner writers their name/address/email/etc in the back. Can be themed or unthemed. It's sent person to person and each person decorates a page according to the theme (or however they would like, if there is no theme!) and when the book is complete, it's sent back to the owner. In the first section of this swap, we made our decos and sent them to our partners. Now comes the awesome part -- decorating the ones we've received and sending them on. IF you're joining us and you HAVE participated in the Decos For People Who Have Never Made a Deco swap, you are striongly encouraged to decorate and pass along the deco you received in that swap. IF you are joining us and you HAVE NOT participated in the Decos For People Who Have Never Made a Deco swap, but you are looking for a laid back, easy breezy, deco swap to pass along a deco you already have in your possession, hi, welcome, glad you could join us. And finally, IF you have questions, leave them here or PM them to me. IF you're here to make drama and heartache, don't. IF you want to try out the wonderful world of decos, maybe test a new technique or method, in a pool of relative-newbies who are not here to judge, then please sign up and have a blast!

Hi this sounds fun but I don't have any decos. Is it ok to make one and send that one? Thanks!

Oh Boy~! I forgot and sent it to another girl.......being 70+ I get those old pms days, I call afternoon pms........... Sorry.........I will make a new one and pass it. I love this swap, but it takes me a while to process words and how to play and just keep up with the Pack.............excuse me please

@sadieszbby I'll check on it and PM you asap!

@reesespieces Sounds good to me :)

@kayenderes I have those days and I am younger than you! These things happen to everyone. You're still more than welcome to participate!

Is there a standard size for decos? Sorry if its a dumb question :-):-P

sunspot 01/23/2014 #

Not to the best of my knowledge, @reesepieces but generally not so big as to not fit in a standard craft envelope.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I have a request: If you use tape on your page, please don't cover up half of the next page with the tape! Same with glue. Makes it hard to decorate the next page. Thanks!

Hi. I am not a super strong artist but do enjoy crafts and this seems really neat. What would you say the artist talent would need to be to join?

reesespieces 01/28/2014 #

How many decos do we need to send? Assumed it was one but reading it again it may be more? Thanks!

reesespieces 01/31/2014 #

Hi is it just one deco we are sending? And is it sender's choice or profile based? Thanks! X

sunspot 01/31/2014 #

Send one deco, sender's choice!

And artists of any skill and talent level are welcome!

Hello, I got my Deco and love it. Now did one page at the back and the final back page is empty. Do I pass this on or send it back to it Owner? Thank you for all your patience and help with me. My first time with mail art like this and I love it.

sadieszbby 02/15/2014 #

Hello! I forgot to mark off that I sent the deco before deadline! I sent thurs the 13th or.yesterday on deadline but just now marking that I sent!

sunspot 02/17/2014 #

@Kayenderes if I were you, I'd probably do the last page before the "back," then you can send it on to the owner. I think that's the best way to make it work.
