Traveling Notebooks & PenPalling

Traveling Notebooks
Whether you have heard about them or not, you can participate in the one that SandbookNet is organizing. The idea behind the Traveling Notebook is that you will receive a notebook in the post from someone (either the Sandbook.Net team or another player in the game) and you will have to:
1) Decorate two pages - you can either tell us something about your culture, country, customs or even your lifestyle, share inspirational thoughts or anything at all that you find worth sharing. You can use whatever your heart desires to decorate the pages - clippings, deco tape, ribbons, postcards, photos, glitter, etc.
2) Take a photo of your entry and send it to us at fun(at)sandbook.net so that we can keep track where the notebook is and if you have completed the first task.
3) Send it to the next person who have signed to join the game.
Once all the people have signed, the notebook will be returned to us and we'd make photos and upload them in our Traveling Notebook Section. We'd have them in picture formats and also available in pdf format so you can look through the whole notebook once it is complete.
To sign up for the "real" Traveling Notebook - you have to fill out the form on our website. Click here to do so: Participate in Real Traveling Notebook.

Virtual Traveling Notebook
(Traveling Sheets)
We realize that the project of the "Real" Traveling Notebook is very ambitious and that it might face certain difficulties in terms of getting lost in the mail or someone breaking off the chain of the Traveling Notebook.
 

Moreover the decorated Traveling Notebook will progressively get heavier and it might present unexpected postal fees/costs for the people later on in the list, so that's why we decided to come up with an alternative, called the Virtual Traveling Notebook. For this project you will need to: decorate any number of A5 sized sheets of paper (that is 6 x 9 inches). Again you can present your country, lifestyle, customs, or any message you want to pass along and send them to our SandbookNet's postal address. As soon as we receive the decorated sheets, we will make photos of them and then tag them with your name and country (and email if you choose so) and finally upload them on our website so anyone can view them. Also when we have more sheets together, we will be making "virtual notebooks" (by combining the sheets that we have received) and making them into pdf files that you will be able to download.
To participate in any of the traveling projects you will need to state your interest by filling out the application form on our pen pal site or click here: Participate in Real Traveling Notebook.

Free PenPal and Swappers Magazine hosted by the Team of www.Sandbook.Net

Hello everyone!

Are you tired of placing your ads all over and over again so that they are in the most recent ads? From my personal experience I know how annoying and time consuming that can be! That's why Sandbook Net organizes a PenPal Magazine.

To place an ad to the magazine you will have to email magazine@sandbook.netThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it       

and send:

1) your name/age/country and email address
2) your message (telling us a bit about yourself like hobbies, interests, etc
3) the duration that you like us to run your ad 1-2 or 3 months... (if you don't specify - we will run it for this issue and choose if we wi...ll rerun it at later times)
That's all! You will receive the magazine in your email box!

If you want to receive the magazine WITHOUT placing an ad in it, you will  only need to send us an email stating that you want to receive the magazine without putting an ad (we'd use the name/email that are on the email account that you use to get in touch with us).

Ways to get even more involved:- send an ad to promote your blog/website/small business if it deals with penpalling (you can send us your logo as well).
- if you want you can also write an article - the best will be published!

The ad and the digital copy of the magazine is for FREE.We are very hopeful to have our first issue in mid to late November 2010. So come on and email us!

From the Sandbook.net Team
PS. Snail mail addresses won't be published since we don't want you to end up with tons of junk mail in your mail box. You will get the friendship requests in your email box and then choose yourself to whom to send your address to. Also if you insist on having your snail mail address publish, you will be disregarding this warning and you will have to send us an email UNDERLINING that you want to have the address published despite our warning.
