Description:

This swap we will be making a small altered book. Book must have at least 10 pages. (More pages are welcomed as well!) The book must be professionally made (meaning use a bound book whether it be a thick paged children's book or a regular book - nothing handmade that you glue together) and then alter it with one of your partner's choices...so please make sure you list 3 topics in the comment section.

Make it something that you'd be proud to have, no sticker slapping, however stickers are allowed.

No one with a 1 or a 3 rating in the last year, 4.9% rating. Newbies welcome with a well filled out profile. I have the right to ban anyone that seems suspicious. Since this is a time consuming project, I can't angel, so PLEASE DO NOT FLAKE! Flakers will be posted on my page and comments will be left of your page if you do!

I am giving you 3 weeks to make this altered book, so no reason to be late in sending.

Any questions, do not hesitate to ask :))

From the swap coordinator guidelines: "IMPORTANT: A swap coordinator can help their users determine how to rate a swap accurately, but they should not make specific rules about when to give a heart."

Molliebrown50 and badandknowsit2...the size of the book shall be no bigger than 6x6 inches but may be smaller. What goes on the pages is what the person suggests for a theme. Like I would like a Frida Kahlo themed book...you'd put photos of her, quotes, embellishments, fancy scrapbook papers, stickers, flowers, etc. etc. The pages don't have to close tightly. It can be bulky. Hope that helps :)

KatarinaNavane - thanks for the tips, I will remove that :))

I use Childrens' board books to make these, is this ok?.....

Lorivintage55 01/ 1/2011 #

Jean, that's cool as that is what I use too. I probably should have specified that any type of book is ok to use!

My 3 likes... Trees, growing things and ghosts. I can't wait to get started. ;o)

When you say the book has to have 10 pages, is that the same as five double page spreads?

Lorivintage55 01/11/2011 #

5 pages on both sides equals 10 pages....

My themes: Birds and flight 1950s and 1960s Rock and Roll (I can send a list if you want specifics) Insects and flowers
