This swap is for people who know how to make a book from scratch! Not to mention make it pretty, make it personal and make it GREAT!
First, you MUST know how to make a book! Stab binding, coptic binding, even straight up grommet binding! 2 covers and a spine. The inside must be blank but, the outside covers must be decorated.
Secondly, you then need to comment what kind of book making you do and 3 things that you would especially like to have a journal designed around and, 5 things that you most definitely DO NOT want.
Third you must read your partners profile, myspace, etsy favorites list etc. to get a REALLY good idea of what they like. Remember this is FOR someone, it's a place for them to put their thoughts, feelings, lists, genius inventions etc. in! YOU want THEM to love it.
For example my list would be:
I Like - Bats, Simple designs and cool colors
I Hate - Disney, Flowers, warm colors, Frogs, and
overly girly pink things.
I do grommet and coptic binding.

PM YOUR PARTNERS IF NEEDED! THIS IS THEIR JOURNAL YOU'RE MAKING AND IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT SOMETHING, ASK!!! Hearts should only be given to those that really paid attention and made a great journal. Something that, as soon as you get it you feel like it'd almost be a sin to write it. That deserves a heart!.
I will angel anyone that gets flaked on!! Also, don't be afraid if the book you make isn't barnes and noble/mass produced perfect. Just put your heart into and make it special for your partner.
