Description:

Have excess N&N Friendship books? This is a swap to pass them on.

You will send your partner 5 new or established N&N Friendship Books (limit 1 homer) to your partner. PLEASE make sure your partner has not signed them!!

You must have at least 4.8 rating. NO unexplained 1's or 3's within the past THREE months. Newbies welcome.

What is N&N? It stands for "Nice & Neat"

There will be NO staples in the front cover. The FB should be laminated with packing tape, shelf liner, laminating sheets, or mod podge. Lamination should be done neatly. Embellishments should be added to the cover. Embellishments include glitter, stickers, foil borders, sequins, ribbon, a nice background, cloth flowers. You can also do something fancy with pictures. Basically just a picture covered with lamination isn't a N&N FB. Addresses should be printed legibly or typed. Make it nice AND neat. Ask yourself whether you are proud of your work or not. For established N&N FBs, please make sure your partner hasn't previously signed it.

~~PLEASE NOTE~~ It may take me a day or 2 to go through the participants and get partners assigned so please be patient.

~~ALSO~~ Newbies are welcome, BUT if you have NEVER made or swapped FB's, then this swap is NOT for you.

If you are interested, this should explain what a Friendship Book is:

I'm confused. If it's a homer why would you be sending it to someone other than the person it was made for? If there's no room for anyone else to write in it.

Perhaps I've misunderstood something, I haven't done many FBs.

I think by "homer" they mean that there is room for just your partner to sign, then they would have to send it home.

Just a question about staples....Is it o.k. to secure the pages with staples, not on the cover but inside the book?...I've gotton some N&N FBs lately that were done that way.....Not sure if this is right or not....

Itti* If you were the last person to sign the FB (no more room for anyone else) then you should send it home to the person it was made for, NOT pass it on to anyone else.

If there's room for one more person to sign after you have signed it, then this is a "homer"

*HeidiJean Thanks for the great explanation!

Kraftylady777* It's OK to secure the pages with staples inside the book. NO staples should be showing on the front cover at all. That is correct.

Ahhh I thought that it was a "homer" AFTER the last person had signed - because that's when it's on its way home. Thanks for explaining, everyone!
