Friendship books and label bags: 1) Friendship books

Tweet

This morning I got some friendship books and label bags ready to go to a gal on a Pen Pal themed (really Friendship Book themed) group I belong to on Facebook. Friendship books are little books usually made from paper--sometimes with the covers covered with clear tape to make them stronger (there are categories of friendship books to based on how "professional" they are, but I won't get into that). A person can make the book for another pal, When a pen pal receives a friendship book, they write their information in it, or add an address label, and send it on to another pal (not the one that send it to them. If the pal the book is sent to doesn't care to have any more pals, they write: "(Name) passes"; meaning that person passes it on to someone else and dosen't need any more pen pals at that time. The person who made the book puts this on the back cover: "Full? Home to (whoever the book was made for) please ! Whoever signs/puts their name in last then sends the book back to the person it was made for, and that person can choose if they want to write to anyone who has put their information in the book or not.
