Flat Rate Friendship item#5 swap

Are you one of those who collects friendship books, bags, slams, Decos, Lyrics. Than this swap is for you. I have quite a collection going. So I would like to trade a big amount of these items so they are not just on hold here at home.

This will be a US only swap.

For this swap you will fill a small flat rate box or Flat rate Envie that costs 4.95 to ship full of bags, slams, friendship books, Decos etc. to one partner. Please make sure there are at least 75 items but you may add more. Please make sure these are not made for your partner, your partner has not signed them and please no more than 5 homers. As I said this is a big excess swap. These can be new or est. books, bags, etc. anything you need to get moving.

Friendship books (also known as "FBs" in their abbreviated form) are small booklets made by stapling paper together, or are sometimes just sheets or strips of paper. They are usually decorated and the person who starts the book writes their name and address as the first person sending the book. People often include a list of interests as well. The FB is then passed around from penpal to penpal, and can often also become a way for one to meet new penpals. Most people hope to see the book again once it is full so they add their return address to the back cover of the book too, or inscribe "Return to Sender" on it. People also sometimes make FBs for someone else rather than themselves, in which case they write the name and address of the recipient on the front/at the top. Some people find friendship books fun because you can see where they have been in a trail back to the original sender/recipient.

Decos are like friendship books but bigger and you decorate a whole page in the theme that the book is in and pass it along for the next person to decorate.

Slams are friendship books that include a theme of questions, either "Sign if you did/like the following", "What is your favorite" or other similar questions. These usually include one page as a "sign in", several pages of questions, and then a "sign out" or "shout out" page at the end. Slams can be themed or regular. Typically they are usually small like a standard friendship book. Often they have a "sign-in" page where you put your label or name, then each page will often contain a question which you answer (i.e. When was the last time you said "I love you") and the signer would write the appropriate response. At the end there is often a sign-out page as well where it's dated. Slams have many variations and can be "sign if" slams (you sign only if the statement or question applies to you). These are handled in a number of ways, but most of them become more clear when you have it in-hand.

Lyrix are much like decos except that each page is decorated using lyrics from a song. Some are more plain with the words simply written in them, others are as artistic as decos with pictures and other ornamental adornments.

label bags are little envelopes that have directions on them to take so many address labels then add so many of your own. Then you make something nice for the labels you take out.

Sticker bags, recipe bags, memo bags, and goodie bags are envelopes that have items in them most of the directions say take so many and add so many sign date and pass on to another person who swaps them.

I hope these explanations help since kooohkies.com is now down. Now for some rules.

You must have at least 20 rated swaps. You must have a 4.95 rating or higher and no 1's or 3's in the last two months. You also must have signed in at least two days prior to assigning partner deadline. I will be checking.
