Canadian ~ Theme Journal Swap ♥

There is a large US based journal swap going on and I thought we could adapt this to a friendly Canadian journal swap.

Grab a journal/notebook handmade or storebought with enough room for at least 30 journal entries. You can do this daily, twice a day, all in one day..it doesn't matter as long as there are the 30 separate themes and entries below in your journal :) Each entry should be at least one full page but you can use as many pages as you wish for each entry.

It is not mandatory to decorate the outside of the journal, but if you have time please do so to make it that much better.

Get creative, try not to just use your pen,use magazine or newspaper articles, art work, photos, doodles, rubber stamps, etc...

Entry 1 ~ everyone will start with an Introduction...who are you...include a photo if you can,it's always nice to see the person behind the pen!

Entry 2 - 30 ~ please incorporate the following themes into your journal -- you can do these in any order that you wish throughout the journal.
