Friendship Books, Sticker bags, Label Bags and Dec

I'll be watching this swap. Since there is a lot involved to "create" for me (never done sticker bag, label bag or decos), I'll see how much I'm comitted to towards the sign up deadline.

So these sticker bags and label bags, are the people just supposed to sign and date the label bags. Is the last person supposed to send anything back, besides the bag itself, once they are completed?

I am definitely watching this swap :) I will try to make these before I sign up so I can see how it goes.

Label Bags Label bags are small envelopes with address labels. You take out a number of address labels of each person and use it to make either FBs or label bags. You then sign out writing your name and date before you pass it on to another person. The last signer returns the label bag to the person it was made for.

Sticker bags are similar to label bags only you put stickers instead of address labels. You take a certain number of stickers and add a certain number and then pass the bag on then the last person returns it to the person it is made for.

Friendship book, often called FB for short is a little booklet made out of a few paper sheets with a decorated cover stapled together. Fbs are passed from one penpal to another via airmail from all over the world. The receiver signs the Fb by placing their own address label with their name, address and a little information about them using abbreviations. When the FB is full the last signer will then return the FB back to the person it was made for.

A Deco is a little larger than a FB and each person decorates a page and signs and sends it on to a new person. When it is full it is returned to the person it was made for or the person who made it.

The link to the site in the swap has label bags and sticker bags that you can print or you can make your own.

Hope this helps!

Hi there! I want to join this swap, but I have a couple questions.. Like, can my fb's be a little more creative than a few pages stapled together more like this http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b81/rackycoo/ringbookstar.jpg ? and being totally new at all this... how many labels, stickers, are usually expected? My deco would be simpler, tho, cus each needs a canvas?? Thank you

Friendship books can be made any way you want judykarnuth usually they are what I put in the description above. If you go to the link in the swap and copy and paste you can see what I mean about label bags and sticker bags. The ones that I made are just like the ones that are on that website. If that helps any.

Thanks Dreammer it helps! Im on a roll making too!! Enjoying it way too much, can see the addiction! ^-^
