I will post sites for you look at in the comments section, if you have questions.

Thanks for the links, they helped a bunch, but I still have a question...The FB is supposed to be made for someone, right? And then it would get sent back to that person when the book is full. So do we make it for the partner we get assigned to? And just put our info as the maker?

USAFwife 02/18/2011 #

artsygirl - you can make the FB for yourself, w/ all your info, or you can make it for a pen pal, friend, or for your partner. And, yes, you would be the maker. There seems to be some 'controversy' over this, but I have to HIGHLY recommend that you put an email address with the mailing address, if possible - one that will be checked every so often. Sometimes these booklets go around for years and years, and addresses change. Many people complain about using email address, as not everyone has a computer. I guess it's a 'catch 22' there.

This will be my first FB swap. But I am really looking forward to it. Sounds like lots of fun!!!

I am really confused about the size. On the one site it is giving the measurements in cm. I figured that out but boy it looks awfully small or is that what it is suppose to be. Its my first time and I want to make my partners something they will like. Can someone help me???? I want to do a great job but feel very insecure about this.
