Pepperpotts - yeah you fill in the next page and send it on the next person. You should have also made one for yourself and sent that onto the next person. Don't worry about asking questions - it makes more sense as it goes along Happy

Hi All,
Just to clarify. Everyone makes a book and they are sent along to t the person next to them on the list.Some times they catch up with each other and two or three books travel together. I sent three books together last time this swap ran and they didn't seem to circulate after that. This time round I'm thinking I'll send them separately in a hope that they will reach their final destination safely.I'm going to be quiet for a few weeks so i hope i don't delay things too much.Looking forward to seeing these books as they are created :0)

Sorry Pepperpotts I just saw your post. Debs explained it perfectly though so thank you Debs Happy It looks complicated when written down but once it gets going it will become clearer.

I'm trying to think of something that its like - have you ever played the game at school with 3 friends where everyone has a piece of paper - everyone draws a head at the top and folds it over. It gets passed round in a circle and then everyone draws the middle bit of the body with arms and folds it over again. It goes round like this until the legs and feet are drawn and then gets passed back the person who started it and everyone opens the paper up and has a strange kind of creature that everyone has drawn a bit off.

Its a little like that, except we're not drawing a creature, we're creating little friendship books where each page has something written on it from each of the 5 other people on the list.

When you get them back at the end (fingers crossed noone vanishes in a puff off smoke!) you will know a little bit about each of the people and you get to know each other better. Also you will have these little books where everyone has personalised a page with their own style - its lovely when it works Happy

I just spotted a new person signing up Happy Hi JellyStitches - as the USA group is already rolling I will start a new list off and put you at the top. It may mean waiting a little bit for some new American crafters to sign up but I think that will work better than trying to add a new person to an existing group. I hope that sounds okay. I will put the new list on page 1 off this thread so its easy to find.

I was thinking Arty...wouldn't it be lovely if we all stayed in touch with everyone from our friendship books? We should make it like an ongoing thing? Any ideas?
