Welcome to Round 2 of our Giant Friendship Book Series!

If this is your first time participating in the series, here is what you do: You will take a composition book, write an introductory letter about yourself inside, and send it off to your partner. Then next month your partner will pass it on to the next person, and so on. Then, when the book is full, it will be returned back to you full of letters from potential penpals! : ) I thought this would be a neat way to get to know everyone in the group.

Feel free to decorate your composition book any way you'd like... or not at all. But make sure you include your mailing info on the last page so that when it's full it can be returned to you.

Your intro letter can be any length, but I'd try to shoot for at least 2 pages. The purpose of the letter will be to tell a little about yourself so that a potential penpal will know if you share enough interests to want to write you back. You can even decorate your pages with stickers, artwork, pictures... anything you'd like to do to get your personality out there.

Make sure you include at least your username in your letter, but you can add your full mailing contact info as well if you'd like.

If you participated in the previous round, you will now take the book you received from your partner and write an introductory letter on the next available pages.

After you receive a book from your partner, go to our Group Discussion Forum and log whose original book it is on the "Giant Friendship Book Series" sticky. That way we can keep up with who has our book. :) You MUST do this to receive a 5 rating for this swap!!!

Feel free to PM me with any questions or leave them in the comments below. :)

Yay! I'm so enjoying this series. Btw...what happens if we receive our own book or one we've already signed back? I am sure that will start happening as the series continues, and wasn't sure how we will handle that. Thanks for running these!

I was thinking about that the other day, @shelbysbarn I don't think we should write more than one intro letter in the same book, so if you receive one you've already written in just leave it blank and pass it along. If we don't get more people to sign up, we'll be finished after only a few rounds! :(

If someone gets mine twice I'd love to have two letters in it! :) That way it does not just sit there. The person can draw something, or put in some photos, or white a poem, or do a page of inspiration... anything. :)
