For this swap you shall have 1 partner and will be sending a journal that you have kept for a month. Each day for a month you shall choose one of the themes below and journal that. There is no order to the themes, just pick one each day, but please make sure to do them all.
The journal can be store bought or handmade, but please make sure they are of a decent quality, we don't want them falling apart now do we.
Here are the themes (there are 31 in total)
1.Write a letter to yourself in the future
2.Find a photo of a person you know.Write a brief biography about them
3.Fill and entire page in your journal with stars.Colour them in
4.Create instructions for a simple everyday task (e.g. washing up, making a cup of tea)
5.Write a letter to somebody you admire

So thats the 31 themes now. You will have a month to send your journal after partners have been assigned, although you could sit and do most of them in a day if you wanted.
This is an international swap. Ratings over a 4.5 since alot of work will be going into them. No recent no sends. Sorry first-timers either. I will not ban people until after sign ups are closed, but if there is a swapper you feel shouldn't be in the swap please let me know and I can be sure to look further into it.
Also, its up to you whether you want to leave any spaces/blank pages for your partner to write in (Luckily I was alerted that I did not specify this by SuzeesCrafty, Thanks!!!) (:
