Description:

I just altered a notebook for my daughter's teacher and a co-worker. They turned out fabulous! I thought to myself...no one ever makes me cute stuff like this. Sadly I didn't get to take a picture of the finished product but you can do a search for altered notebooks. Flickr has some great examples.

Here is a great example:

Guidelines:

You will alter 1 notebook or journal for 1 partner. This is not profile specific. Just make it very colorful. You can add random pictures, animals, ribbons, stamps, stickers, embellies, ephemera, etc.. Please try to incorporate ribbons into your design because it makes the finished product look really cool. You will also send your partner 2 glitter or gel pens to match the notebook, and a note. Easy Peasy, and it should not cost much to make or ship. Have fun and do lots of decorating but please keep it neat. Notebook should be at least 8 1/2 x 11 or a composition notebook . You can send extras for possible hearts.

  Swapping REQUIREMENTS

You Must have a rating of 4.9 or higher. No 1's or unexplained 3's in the last 6 months. You must have 15 swaps under your belt. Email and Pen pal swaps DO NOT COUNT. No Flakers! I will find you and cut off your left pinky toe and gouge your right eye out. I will be checking every single person's profile before I assign partners. This is to protect us all. I refuse to put up with any more flakers. I reserve the right to ban anyone fishy.. Any questions or suggestions, feel free to send me a message. Happy altering!

This is for a blank notebook correct? Just decorated/embelished on the front and back cover, and possibly spine? Thanks, Lacey

Yes Lacey. I actually used a black spiral notebook but I covered the front completely with paper. You couldn't tell what it originally looked like after I got done.

If at all possible, I would love a note book with graph/grid paper.

any way to make it a little longer between sign up and mail dates? i'll have to watch for now.

CraftySenorita 05/11/2009 #

Sorry Slewis. I just extended it. If you join now, you'll have 28 days to make it. It's not profile specific. It only takes about an hour to make one. Maybe a little longer depending on the person. I just finished making one for my daughter and it only took me an hour.

I'm really excited about this swap, I am addicted to notebooks its a little rediculous! Maybe now I will stick to just one in my purse to keep up with bills and stuff!!!! Great swap thanks!!!!

Yes, Sadly I too am addicted. Well I think I'm more addicted to making them. Then I'm addicted to holding it after I make it purty and telling my hubby and kids "Oh my gosh, look at how frickin cute this is". They don't care much though. Sad I know but it makes me happy. lol
