Deco homer I got

Her's the latest deco that was returned to me!

It was made on the "Happy Birthday" theme, and it's quite special because it was made in January 2009. It was the first year I started in my appartement, and I had just decided to go back to swapping and penpalling regularly. So the girl that started it had definitely a good feeling!

Receiving it home after 3 years made me realize how my life had changed since then: it's like a parallel between my own life and the travel this booklet has done.
Indeed...It was started by a girl in China, and then went on to Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and then to France (where the nice returner is).

And last but not least, I would like to give a big thum up to the Old Decos and Homers (ODAH) group as most of the signers are from it, and they definitely helped getting it finished faster:-))

I was writing letters to an American girl with whom I was sharing an interest for fashion and supermodels. One day, in a letter, she told me she was bisexual and she seemed really scared to admit it. I replied normally to her letter, making it clear that it wasn't a problem for me. I also told her that I was happy she decided to talk about something so intimate, that it must have been difficult for her... As you can i...

What are Fbs, decos, slams, etc...

[EN] Read this article on the new site:  http://samslettersandcrafts.com/en/letter-writing/booklets-en/10-what-are-fbs-decos-slams-etc [FR] Retrouvez cet article sur le nouveau site http://samslettersandcrafts.com/fr/correspondance/booklets/11-que-sont-les-fbs-decos-slams-etc ******* On this blog, you may read quite often about booklets. But not everybody knows what I mean by that. In the letter-writing and swapping world, Booklets are pieces of paper which are stapeled together. It then looks like a small booklet made for one person (the owner) by another person (maker). The booklet is passed on, from one penpal to another. And the last signer has to send it back to the owner. The various types Here is a biref description of the main categories, but there are often new ones popping up! Friendship Books  (FBs): this is the most simple kind. As a signer, you just have to sign with your address and, if you like, some info on what you're looking for (penpal, s...
