Let's Move Some Decos - November

This is a USA swap.

We who do Decos like them to keep moving. This will be a series of swaps. It will keep Decos moving so they become filled and head home. If you get a homer, only one page left to decorate, Deco it, send it home, and start another of your own, if you like.

You will have one partner to whom you will send NO MORE THAN FIVE (5) Deco books. You may start new Decos for this swap, if you like, or simply move on Decos in which you have completed your page. Note: I have increased the number of Decos to be sent to FIVE (5). If you prefer to send FOUR (4) Decos, do so.

When you create a new Deco book, remember to keep it to a reasonably small size and number of pages. Don't slap on stickers and call it art. Your book should be reasonably flat. No metal key rings holding it together. Be aware of weight. Weight means more postage expense. Please include the Swap Name, your Swap-bot name, your Snail Mail name and address, in your new books. Make sure each book you forward has a "Return when filled" address. You may specify a theme: time period, subject matter, animals, feelings, cartoons, or "choose your own theme". You may also request an art medium: collage, paint, markers, whatever, as well. Artists may or may not follow your theme. When you decorate a page in a Deco book, please give your identifying information, legibly: Name, Swap-bot name, email address, date. This info can go on your page or the inside back cover. Please note if you prefer to pass on a swap. This also will go on the inside back cover. Don't trash a page or pages of a Deco with messages of your desire to pass.

This is a continuation of an earlier swap, but is open to everyone who wants to swap some Deco Books. PLEASE DO NOT forward a Deco Book to someone who made it, or has had it before, unless it is complete and being sent home! Please have the courtesy to rate your partner every round!

This swap is for dependable swappers only. You must have a 4.98 rating to participate, and at least five type three swaps. Sorry, but no newbies. If you are a newbie, or new to Decos, and want to exchange one (1) Deco Book, message me, and we can do a private swap.

If you are late in sending, notify your partner & me. Late receiving? Check "participants" to see if your partner sent, and note the sent date. Then contact your partner & me. If nothing has been sent, contact your partner & me. Please check their profile. They might be in hospital, or have a legitimate emergency, like a death in the family. Cut them as much slack as you would like to receive in similar circumstances.

I check profiles. If you have outstanding late swaps or recent 3s or 1s, I will ban you from this swap. If you flake, I will ban you from ALL my future swaps, and note your name in the flaker forum.

I Angel all the swaps I host, and will ask that you rate your non- sending partner a 1. You MUST make two serious attempts to communicate with your partner, with no response before asking me to Angel, at which point I will ask you to rate your partner a 1.

Questions? Contact me. Happy Swapping!

I'm new to Deco Books. Does the person creating the book also deco a page?

StarMouse 10/29/2014 #

@Kimber the person who makes the book may choose to deco the front cover and the first page, or just one of those.

Because I'm not sure when my surgery date will be for my smashed ankle/foot, I may need to cancel this swap and restart it after I'm home from rehabilitation.

I have a collection of decos that I need to get moving and no one to send them to. Is that ok to join this swap to get them going?

Midteacher says: "I would like to pass on the decos I have so they can get into circulation. I have decided to no longer participate as this swap has become more of a chore than fun. I have been focusing more on art journal swaps. Wherever my deco is, it should have been beck to me by now. Someone has probably dropped out and it is no longer in circulation. " Will whoever has her deco send it home please?
