DESCRIPTION:

Hello fellow swappers!
So, I guess the title of this swap is pretty self-explanatory. If your birthday is in the month of February and you like getting fun mail, this is the PERFECT swap for you!!

You will have TWO partners to whom you will send a card (store-bought or nicely homemade).
The card should include at least 2 little items (sticker sheets, memo papers, etc.). 
It can be anything that you can stick into an envelope. 
It's up to the sender how much you can spend on this swap but no less than the stated numbers above.
Feel free to email your partner and ask what their likes/wishes/dislikes are. Make someone's birthday a happy one!

Please, no trashy items, send only new store bought, QUALITY handmade stuff, something you would like to receive yourself!

Swap requirements:

Please, no flakers, if you think you won't be able to send on time or meet the requirements, don't sign up.
Note that this is an INTERNATIONAL swap and shipping might take up to a month, this is why this is a quick swap.

It is preferred that you post a photo of your swap going out or use tracking, but not mandatory.

Post your photos on the Facebook Event page. PLEASE cover addresses on envelopes!

Details on N&N FBs:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Friendship books must be neat, not just a bunch of pieces of paper strewn together. They cannot be slams, friendship sheets or crams.

What is a N&N FB?  

N&N FB = Nice & Neat Friendship Book

http://friendshipbooks.blogspot.com/2010/12/types-of-friendship-books.html

Guidelines for N&N FB swaps on this blog:

1. There will be NO staples in the front cover.
2. The FB should be laminated with packing tape, shelf liner, or laminating sheets.
3. Lamination should be done neatly.
4. Embellishments should be added to the cover. Embellishments include glitter, stickers, foil borders, sequins, ribbon, a nice background, cloth flowers. You can also do something fancy with pictures. Basically just a picture covered with lamination isn't a N&N FB.
5. Addresses should be printed legibly or typed.
6. Make it nice AND neat. Ask yourself whether you are proud of your work or not. 
7. For established N&N FBs, please make sure your partner hasn't previously signed it.
