Description:

Fall is a wonderful time of year. Let's create a "Fat Book" to commemorate it. You will create a book with at least 10 pages (20 sides). It will include art and words that interpret how you feel about the Fall season. I will leave it open to people who want to do writing and art, or just art. The back does have to have some sort of decoration. You can either make it (the back) as a whole page itself or at least decorate it so it doesn't stick out. You may decide to decorate both sides of each page fully, that's your choice, but you're not obligated to. There should be at least 10 fully decorated sides though. These pages need to be approximately 4"X4" Edit: due to the new swappers from the fall chunky book swap I will make the requirements for size 4X4 or larger. You can bind them any way you please. You should use paper that is very thick. I will be using thick chip board type pages for mine. Please make these thick and full of embelishments.

Rules:
1. No newbies sorry. This project is a pretty big commitment and I want only seasoned swappers. 2. Rating of at least 4.8 or high with no more than 1 unexplained no send.
3. You must have participated in at least 2 physical swaps and have a good rating from them. (Email, ecard etc. swaps do not count as a physical swap) I will go through profiles and ban those who do not meet these requirements before partners are assigned.

Please email me with any questions you may have. *Thanks to Leenda77 for some of the wording for this swap. ΓƒΕ“

This is an international swap

I've edited the dates on this swap due to an email I received from windchimes. She has had to cancel her Autumn Chunky book swap and suggested I extended my dates to accomodate any transfer swappers. I hope this is OK with everyone. I'm just trying to help out about 40 swappers who lost their swap. Thanks

I know I can't wait either. I'm on the look out for harvesty things everywhere I go now!! ΓƒΕ“

I've got 11 page backgrounds ready so far. Now just need to find my focal images and embelishments and finish the covers. :-)

Hi

I have me a problem. I signed up for the Glorious Autumn Chunky Book Swap where the size was not fixed at 4 x 4. I had never made a book before so I choose to do it 6 x 6 to give me more room for creativity. My book is made except for the covers so I was very disappointed when it was cancelled. Becuase I have done it a different size would I be allowed in your swap please? Sandra S

I'm not sure what exactly is going on but I did get an email from Windchimes saying that she was going to have to cancel a few of her swaps. This is the first fat/chuncky book swap that I've hosted as well as made. I don't have a problem with the size but I'm not sure how others will feel. I will email everyone for an opinion and post the majority vote here.

I was in the other Autumn Book swap that got cancelled. Thank you for extending the sign-up date so that some of us could transfer over! I am still really looking forward to making this book!

Welcome those of you from the other swap!! I have changed some of the requirements to help you fit into this one. I am not going to change my requirements for ratings though. I'm going to stick to the 4.8 or higher rating requirement and only 1 unexplaind no send. I really feel strongly about this. There is no possible way for me to angel for no sends so I just can't take the risk. I hope you all enjoy this swap. It is actually more geared to the art aspect of a chunky book so you may not receive a book with much writing in it due to that factor. Please feel free to email me or post here any other questions you may have. ΓƒΕ“

Thanks for letting those of us who were signed of for the other join in this swap. This will be my first whole book, not just pages so I'm excited.

Hi, I made one for the winter fatbook.Used some of your words to formulate it. Hope you don't mind. I will also put a link to this swap. I was really looking forward to this swap. Here's the link for the winter fat book ; ) http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/6724

Hmmm, I never got the cancellation email - but fortunately found this when I noticed. Thank you for accomodating us! I too had already started on mine (but was doing 4x4 anyway).

Does anyone have the links that were posted in the other swap? I have an art teacher friend that would like to read up on chunky books.

Jessica, your fall book is on its way. I hope you enjoy it. I hated to part with it.

9hauntedgirls 11/ 5/2007 #

Pinkpapercrafter, your book went in the mail this morning!

Rillaith 11/ 6/2007 #

Uff, work's eaten up my last week and some - I've got one blank spread left to finish and I was expecting it to be done ages before now. This should be in the post tomorrow lunchtime, as long as I don't use slow-drying glue :) (Have PMed partner to let her know.)

jessmarie 11/ 8/2007 #

Mammi, I got your book and it's gorgeous! Thanks so much.

Rillaith 11/11/2007 #

Hurrah, I've been rated, so it's arrived dead quick - it's such a pleasant change having a UK partner :) One less thing to fret about!

I have an exciting looking box to open, so I think AngelFaeryKathleen's book has arrived for me, too!
