I Recommend...Mini Notebook Swap

For this swap, you'll recommend 10 categories of items to a fellow swapper in a decorated mini notebook.

Purchase a mini notebook with at least 60-80 pages (it can be spiral, a mini composition book, etc). Decorate the cover. The inside front cover should include your name, contact information, the swap name and the date. The first or second page can be a title page if you'd like.

Now you'll start your recommendations, one on each page. List five items from each of the 10 categories. Feel free to add website info, images or anything that will fit on the page listing your recommendations. You'll use almost every page in the notepad with a few blanks at the end.

Your partner will come away with a little notebook of suggestions from you for everything from books and music to swaps and crafts.

The categories:

a) 5 books to reads

b) 5 movies to see

c) 5 TV shows to watch

d) 5 musical artists or groups to listen to

e) 5 things to see or do in the town/city where you live

f) 5 Swap-bot swaps that you really enjoyed

g) 5 crafts or hobbies you enjoy

h) 5 blogs worth checking out

i) 5 things every person should do before they die

j) 5 sender's choice recommendations (your choice!)

The mini notebooks are small and lightweight. I'll make this a USA/Canada-only swap unless there is a huge international demand. Good participation will prompt another round with additional topics.

The swap fine print:

Open to USA/Canada members. 4.8 or higher rating. Newbies welcome with a completed profile. I review the profiles of all participants before assigning partners.
