Description:

I had come across this idea on someone's blog that they were doing just for themselves, but not as a swap, so I thought it would be neat to try this "as" a swap. This finished smash book, with a decorated cover, will pretty much tell the recipient about you. Who wouldn't like to get to know new people?

First of all this isn't a day-by-day thing, so you aren't obligated to do this that way.

You can use a notebook/journal of some kind or make your book anyway you want. It has to be bound securely anyway you want if you're making it from scratch and it has to be at least 6" X 8" or bigger in size. You will smash a page about each of the 30 topics listed below, in no particular order except the first and the last topics. On the page about yourself, also include your swap-bot username.

  1. Yourself

  2. Pet(s) or favorite animal

  3. Favorite food

  4. Favorite place

  5. Hobby

  6. Favorite book character

  7. Favorite word

  8. Favorite animated character

  9. Favorite TV show

  10. Favorite candy

  11. A concert you've been to

  12. A place you've been

  13. Pet peeve(s)

  14. Last movie you saw

  15. Family picture

  16. Favorite season

  17. Where you live

  18. Favorite color

  19. Free topic -use washi tape

  20. Something red

  21. Favorite quote(s)

  22. Something you miss

  23. Top ten songs

  24. Something you're thankful for

  25. Scenery

  26. Your zodiac with the year you were born

  27. Someone you love

  28. A place you have lived

  29. A place you want to go

  30. A congrats banner for completing the challenge

this sounds like fun, but I have a question. Is this a smash book that we are making for our selves, then just sending a picture to our partners?I mean, if I do a book all about me, what good would it be to send to my partner?

You will be making it about you and sending it to your partner so that they will learn things about you (likes, dislikes, desires etc.) including your style of craft/smashing. I get normally one would make a journal about themselves for themselves, but it would be fun to share that info with someone who you may or may "not" have common interests, instead of it sitting on a shelf somewhere for your eyes only.

I did a swap that was something similar years ago here on sb, but it was a journal (not so much smashing), and it was just interesting and fun to learn things about someone new. I still have that journal and actually just went through it a few weeks ago.

Ladies I would love to join this swap. Instead, I think I will just make and keep my journal. I do apologize for dropping out. (Too many bad experiences with journal partners.)
