Newbie and Seasoned Decos - Jan #1

Greetings! This Deco book swap is for Newbies and Seasoned alike. Just be kind to us newbies, as we are learning the process.

If you get a book, it's a 5 please. If you aren't comfortable rolling that way, this may not be the swap for you. US only this time around please. You may make new Deco books, or send established ones, your call. Lowest Rating 4.95 + newbies. No unresolved 1's or 3's in the last 6 months. I will check. Newbies - please have a fully filled out profile.

IT IS A COMMITMENT. If it's not something you want to hang in with, please don't sign up. I can't stress this enough. We ALL want our books back eventually. That's why I will be doing 2 per month. We can get experience, have fun and work out the kinks of the process.

I create these swaps to help others build up some experience by posting two monthly Newbie Deco books swaps. I'd love our seasoned members to join us as well, because you have fantastic ideas and it would be a great learning experience for the rest of us.

Here's how it goes:

Create a "deco" book. This can be created with card stock, Upcycled cards attached with brads, string, ribbon, Scapbook paper connected together...the sky is the limit in creating your "book". Don't make it a huge number of pages unless you don't want your book back for awhile. These are more than Friendship books. Decorated and neatly created is the goal.

Choose the theme of your Deco book: Your deco book will have a theme of your choice clearly written inside the first page of your book. For example: "Flower stickers and washi tape on one page" or "Your favorite quote/decoration choice on 2 pages" "Draw me a picture", "Write me a poem" "Stamp me a cute picture"...you get the idea

Again on the inside of your book, ask everyone to include their swapbot name, and date so no one will get your book twice.

You will include your name and address on the inside cover as a "return when filled" so once the deco book has made the rounds, you will get it back.

YOU CAN SEND ESTABLISHED DECOS Just make sure you aren't sending a duplicate (someone who has already done it or passed on it) to your partner if there name is in it. Please no homers unless you contact your partner prior to sending and they are ok with it. Homers are decos that only have 1 more page to decorate before they have to be sent home

You will receive (1) partner to send your Deco book to. The partner will follow your instructions and decorate your book or pass, and hang onto it to send along in another swap.

If you receive a book, it's a 5. Heart is up to you. Please rate your partners :) If you don't get a book, message your partner. If they don't work with you to make it right, message me. If they flake, we will give them a 1 and they will be banned from my swaps. I will Angel this swap after the communicating is tried first, so no matter what you will get a Deco.

Questions - please message me. Have a fun, drama free time! Dina
