Hey everyone!! I don't know about you, but I have been so into journals lately. So I thought I would create a swap to celebrate journals and all the different types that there are. :) This journal swap will have a little bit of everything in it. There will be multiple types of things that you will be doing. And the cool thing is that you can do them in any order that you want! First things first--- This is a 100 day journal, meaning you will do 1 journal page a day. But if you feel super energetic, you can do more than one. :) But the end result should be a journal with 100 pages filled. This is one side of the page. Does not have to be front and back unless you want it to be. But please make sure that you fill up the ENTIRE side of one page. Decorate nicely. Next- What types of pages will you be doing? This is the fun part! You will need to include the following: *20 pages that are diary type pages. This would be like a daily journal entry. What went on in your life on that particular day? What kind of thoughts or feelings are you having about a particular area in your life? Include ticket stubs, receipts, any ephemera that represents your day that day. The topic/theme is up to you. *20 pages that are lists. Each list has to contain at least 10 items. Make your list about anything. What are your favorite books? What do you want to do before you kick the bucket? 10 things that you can't live without. You get the idea. *10 pages about your life. This is different from diary pages. This is where you tell about yourself. Who are you? What are your ambitions? Childhood stories? Tell about your family, friends and pets. Include some photos if you like. That will make it more interesting for your partner. *20 pages that are artsy kind of pages. This could include drawing, painting, collages, a mini scrapbook page, zentangles, etc. Something artsy! *10 pages that are your favorite poems or words to your favorite songs *20 pages that are "Treasure" pages-- this would be any little surprise that you can manage to stick into your journal that your partner will love! Ideas could be recipes, notecards, postcards, ATC's, bookmarks, tags, envies with little goodie such as buttons, eyelets, ribbons, beads, etc. These little goodies can be put in envelopes or handmade pockets attached to the page. Or whatever creative way that you can think of. Now for the little details: The minimum size for this journal should be at least 5x7. Mine is going to be larger because I want to be able to have room to have fun and not feel cramped! Please decorate the outside of your journal if it is not already decorated. Make your partner feel special. :) You have the freedom to do any of the above types of pages in ANY order that you want. So, if you feel like writing a list one day and then feel like do a drawing the next, that's okay. No big deal! Now for the other stuff: This is a very time intensive project. Please do not sign up for this swap if you can't commit to it. No one likes to put all of their time into something like this and then get flaked on. Seriously. Please send on time and rate your partners promptly and fairly. I also suggest that when you ship that you get delivery confirmation with your postage. Minimum rating requirement is a 4.95. No unexplained one's or three's. No exceptions. I will be checking profiles. Wow, that's a lot of info! But let's have fun with this! Happy journaling !
