Description:

Ok so I've just received some deco's for the first time and love them! This will be my first time making one from scratch but I have done journals and make them all myself so should be pretty easy!

I've decided to start a swap for making decos then sending it to your partner. If there is enough people joined in the swap we can do rounds until each deco is complete then the last partner sends it home. So that will be

So you make your decos, with a theme on the cover, then decorate the the cover according to your theme. then if you like you can decorate the inside cover, not the first page. You should put on the back cover who the deco is for so that once complete it gets returned. So on the back of mine I will put From & For then my details. Each deco will have a front & back cover and inside 4 sheets folded to make 8 pages. So if all goes well we will have 8 more swaps after this!

Because I'm new to this myself I will allow most people to join. No recent 1's or 3's, rating must be 4.9+ and you must have a well filled out profile. I will check all before partners get assigned and I will block those that don't meet requirements!!

Because this is pretty new to me I have added below what decos are which you can find in Glossary on here! Please feel free to ask any questions or suggestions in comments below. If you feel dates are too short let me know I will change them :-)

Decos – A deco is similar to a friendship book and there are a wide variety of types. It is a bound book of pages which are sent around the world. The person that the book is “for” is usually listed on the cover and when the book becomes full it is sent back to them. Each person that receives and signs the deco will decorate one page according to the theme of the booklet (if there is one) and put their postal/email address and sign their name. Typically, each entrant in the “deco” must use one full page to express themselves. Glitter, sequins, feathers and other scrapbooking supplies are frequently used in “decos.” Despite the artistic expressions used in these types of friendship books, the basic rules of passing the friendship book to person to person is the same.
