Number of swap partners: 1

DESCRIPTION:

You will have one partner, and you will send your partner a letter, and hopefully become good pen pals :)

I love writing letter to my friends around the world. I love long chatty letters where you can talk about anything and everything. Beside; it's also great to meet new people and built new friendships. If you are like me, here is the swap for you.

I don't want to set an amount of pages you have to write, but at least 2 A4 sheets, front and back - so it will be 4 pages. If you decide to use smaller paper like A5 then double the pages. 

For you in the USA; A4 is a full sheet of paper (Letter Size 8-1/2" x 11"), A5 is approx half sheet (5.5" x 8.5"), but of course you can write longer than that. 

Tell your partner about yourself, where you live, family, hobbies and whatever you feel like. And if you like you can enclose a postcard, a tea bag, ice tea or hot chocolate for your partner to enjoy. 

RULES:

You can either hand-write or type your letter. Both is fine, but if you type your letter, please make it personal and not send out a form letter.

It is preferred that you post a photo of your swap going out or use tracking, but not mandatory.

Post your photos on the Facebook Event page. PLEASE cover addresses on envelopes!

Details on N&N FBs:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Friendship books must be neat, not just a bunch of pieces of paper strewn together. They cannot be slams, friendship sheets or crams.

What is a N&N FB?  

N&N FB = Nice & Neat Friendship Book

http://friendshipbooks.blogspot.com/2010/12/types-of-friendship-books.html

Guidelines for N&N FB swaps on this blog:

1. There will be NO staples in the front cover.
2. The FB should be laminated with packing tape, shelf liner, or laminating sheets.
3. Lamination should be done neatly.
4. 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.
5. Addresses should be printed legibly or typed.
6. Make it nice AND neat. Ask yourself whether you are proud of your work or not. 
7. For established N&N FBs, please make sure your partner hasn't previously signed it.
