Number of swap partners:1
Description:

You can still join, also if you haven’t done the previous round(s).

You will sent a small notebook (the mesurements of the one I sent were 10,5 cm x 7 cm x 0,2 cm - so flat mail with low postage) to one partner.

In this book you will write your name & that you are the owner of it.

You will stamp a (rubber or clear or handcarved - you don't have to but you can even decorate it - ) stamp into it.

Under the stamp you write your name and/or nickname, the city/country you live in and the date.

The idea is that this book will keep on travelling in next rounds and each time someone will put a stamp in it, and finally it will return back to you, so don't forget to put your address in it!

In mine I also wrote an explanation about it, so if someone would pass it forward to a penpal or in another swap instead of the next round, the receiver will also know what to do with it.

I also wrote that if the last person who gets it & has to sent it back to the owner, will receive a surprise (but that's not an obligation to write into the book).

But when sending the book to your partner you will also sent a small -senders choice- surprise (stickers, postcard, ...) so that your partner also has something to keep. Because the book will be forwarded!

It can also be nice to put your stamp also on another paper for your partner to keep.

Let me know if there are anymore questions & enjoy this round!

How many rounds are you going to make? And is it allowed to send a second really thin one together?

@Striffy

how many rounds I'm going to make will depend a bit on how many people stay interested, also not everybody will probably join each round, so I will see how it goes, but I like to do a lot of rounds :) but if you like to have your book back after 5 rounds or so you can make a very small book with only 5 pages :)

you can sent a second book in the same envelop but I will let your partner decide if (s)he forwards the second one immediatly or not (because postage can be higher) your partner can also choose to sent it to a penpal, or keep it a while and sent it if (s)he got flaked (lets hope not!) in a future round, but I think it's best to let your partner know that you will be sending 2 books (and offcourse a surprise to keep)
