~Friendbooks~ (fbs)


These can be new friendship books, or one that has traveled before!

These are really simple. Friendbooks travel around the world from one penpal to another. It creates a little network of friends. In the end you get to see all the places its been and hopefully meet some new fbs lovers to talk to.

We're sending 5 fbs to one person so they have a better chance of coming back to you. Sometimes they may get lost in the mail, or someone may not know what to do with them and they never make it home. Sending 5 gives you a better chance of seeing one of the little guys again. Also they may take different paths, see different places, and help you make different friends.

What is a fbs?


They range from 3in x 3in to 5in x 5in depending on how much information you want people to put.

•Just take a piece of cardstock, or thick paper, cut it to be about 4inches by 4inches when folded. Put a little decoration on the front, a few sparkles or stickers. Get creative.

•Staple about 3 pieces of paper inside (The more room it has on the inside the more information people can put and the longer they'll be travelling the world ) So if you want it to come home faster use less paper. Also remember to use paper that people will be able to sign. Try using paper that isnt black and doesnt have much print on it.

•Next add your address on the inside of the cardstock with 'Return to: (your address) when full' inscribed.

~When you recieve your fbs~


•Sign your name and add your address, some people like to add interests for whoever it returns to.

•After you sign your name send them out to someone else who is not already in the book. Try to send them to a penpal or someone that does fbs too.

•When it gets full the last person is supposed to send it back to the creator. Dont send the fbs back until all of the space is taken up and no one else can fit in. Do Not keep the full fbs for yourself, wouldnt you be sad if none of your fbs ever came home after that long hard journey around the world?

If anyone else has a question do not hesitate to send me a message
