This is the group I've founded over on swap-bot with reliable swappers. It is a small group of 30 ladies who have proven they are dependable swappers. It's nice when you have excess to just post a swap and know you don't have to worry about angeling the swap.
I also host Newbie swaps for those new to penpalling and fb swapping as well as to swap-bot.com My username is MOMWITHAHOOK and you can view the current swaps I'm hosting HERE.
Friendship Books
A small book that is created by one person as a treat for another. They have colorful covers and are filled with blank sheets of paper. The books are mailed from person to person who each writes in their name, address, interests etc. When the book is full, it is mailed to the person whom it was made for. Please sign and pass along the booklets quickly and send home if more than 2 years old.
