This is an introduction to N&N FB's (Nice and Neat Friendship Books).

These FBs should be nice & neat as I will explain below.

Please put the group name and date on the cover or inside cover. Please also include the email address of your partner in the “Made For” inscription.

NOTICE: If you would like your partner to include anything other than your address & email address in the “Made For” inscription, or if you'd like your partner to leave your email address off, please state so in the comments below before the sign-up deadline.

WARNING! DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS IN THE COMMENTS BELOW. ONLY POST THE INFO YOU WANT ADDED TO YOUR ADDRESS. (i.e. NSW, SAHM, SNNP)

Please make sure to look for your partner’s information below. Only if there is nothing from your partner below by the time partners are chosen, may you assume that they do not want any additional information added with their address & email address.

Okay, so what's different about a N&N FB? (Nice & Neat Friendship Book)? Well, the following rules apply to qualify as a N&N FB:

The following rules are not just my rules, but general rules for N&N FBs.

** No plain books. All books should be made creatively and artistically - often with stickers, ribbons, embellishments, confetti, sequins, or brads.

** Although not required, nice & neat books are often covered with plastic clear shelf liners, contact paper, lamination or clear packing tape to make them sturdy.

** FBs must be in booklet form with front and back covers.

** No staples should show on the front covers. If you use a stapler, staple the pages to the back cover or directly on the spine. Often pages are attached with brads to the back cover.

** Unless you have very neat handwriting, it looks best if all writing is typed (although not required).

These rules are not just my rules, but general rules for N&N FBs.

** All FBs must include "Made June, 2010 via Swap-Bot.com Paper Passion Group"

You must have a rating of at least 4.9. Newbies are welcome. Angels are offered in case of flakers.

I have read a bit about these books but I still don't understand the appeal. would someone like to explain it to me?

Thank You for posting a beginners FB swap.

I think it has something to do with potential penpals,. Or when the FB finally comes back to you, you will see everywhere it has been.

There is an international community of people who swap friendship books. The appeal is meeting others and being creative. I love getting a book back after a year or so and see that it's traveled across the entire planet!

I get the make one for your partner but I can't get my head round the 2 for whomever. Can one of them be yourself? How do we know who to send the 3rd one to? Can your partner pick that for someone they know?

here are a few places to check the idea out. However, the FB's you can print are not considered N&N. There are some good videos I have seem on u tube. http://www.shelley.nl/ http://www.kooohkies.com/

@Gofeen if you're not sure who else to make them for, make them for yourself or more for your partner.
