Description:

International. 2 "add-and-pass"-style 2.5" X 3" booklets for 1 partner.


You can send index card mini decos you've received from the last index card mini decos swaps I've hosted or make new ICM decos.


If you've been doing quality tiny art like ATCs or inchies/twinchies for a while, than this may be a fun collaborative-style project for you.


Fold an index card in half to make a little 2.5" X 3" book.

Choose whatever theme you would like, sender's choice (or make it an open theme).

The front and back covers (and inside front and back covers if you choose) are yours to decorate and add info like your username, email, swap name, return mailing address.

Include between 4 and 8 pages available to decorate (1-2 folded pages that are bound in the middle).

Bind the spine of the book with string/twine/ribbon, machine stitch, or you can staple the spine magazine-style.

Example of a simple 3-hole string-bound book signature:

NOTE: Once you have received your deco booklets, decorate a page in each of the decos, then you can mail them to me (PM me to let me know), or check my list of swaps to see if I've got another deco swap happening, or pass them along to someone else, or maybe start your own deco swap.

If you are new, less than 6 months, and fewer than 10 finished and rated swaps PM me, I can set up a private swap. It counts towards your ratings. If we have successfully completed a private swap with ratings, you can join this swap.

Blank comments

Please, no blank comments. When rating please at least mention the 2 decos you have received.

As a host, I read the comments each participant receives. I really appreciate reading a little description of the item you receive. I get to live vicariously through you, and by describing it we get confirmation that you received your partner's item.

Waiting for 2 ratings. The swapper is having post office problems and is keeping us informed on her profile: "6 April 2022 - Please note that if I haven't rated you I haven't received the swap yet. I am not being nasty for not rating! The last time that I received mail was on the 12th of February. I know swappers are frustrated because they aren't being rated, but there is nothing I can do but to wait for the postal service."

@Apelser continues to experience a significant incoming mail problems in South Africa. Hasn't received anything since mid-February, but mail is leaving SA and arriving in the US around the 6 week mark.
