Description:

In light of the fact that our original coordinator's account has been deleted I've set up this alternate. All of the same rules apply, I just didn't want this project to get cut short. If you have any questions or have any contact with kkrriiissyy please send me a message.

For this swap you're going to need a standard composition notebook. Roughly 80-100 pages should do the trick.

Step One: Introduce yourself. Put your user name and whatever else you'd like to include. If you would like, feel free to enter your address. The owner of the journal can write you back when they get this down the line...or really anyone whose hands the journal lands in can.

Step Two: tape/glue/include an article that you find interesting into the journal. It can be from a magazine, a database, or a newspaper. Whatever you find to be interesting.

The third part of this project is including a journal entry. You can include your thoughts about your article, use it to enhance your journal entry, or write about something else entirely.

Essentially this is another shared journal project. There aren't prompts written for each other because, well only the original sender will see the journal once it returns. I buy the newspaper every day and think this will be a great way to use it for something other than recycling or window cleaning once I've read it.

Also, feel free to include pictures, sketch things, write poems or really whatever tickles your fancy. Journals are creative outlets. Let this one be yours.

Once the journal is full please send it back to its original owner. Also, it'd be great as we go about doing this if we mention in the comments who has which journal.

If this is your first time entering this journal swap, make a journal, follow the above steps, and include a page with your address on it so once it's full it can be sent back to you. :)

If you don't receive a journal I'll angel.

Do we send the journals we have now home or can we continue to use them?

Ambryel 04/18/2013 #

I was thinking we'd continue to use them. I'd hate for this project to end. :/ If there is a consensus to send the journals home though, we can do that.

this would be my first time entering this journal swap, so I would be sending mine out, but I have 2 concerns....seems not many people are signed up, and I'd like to get my journal out there and circulated...and also, I couldn't send out until I get my SSI check on May 1.

cynaemon 04/21/2013 #

I am rejoining, since I really would like to get my journal around too. I have robinairie's journal and will send it on. SDdowner, I think you have mine. Yes, please send it to the next person.

I agree with ladywolfsong. I can't send mine out until after the first. Can we maybe change the send date to May 3rd or so? Thanks

sdowner 04/22/2013 #

@cynaemon I do have your journal and will send it on!! :-)

Ambryel 04/22/2013 #

@cynaemon can do. :)

so when you receive one, do you wait til you see another swap with this theme, or send it to a friend willing to participate, or what? thanks

Ambryel 04/23/2013 #

@biohazard Wait until you see the next swap with this theme.

cynaemon 04/25/2013 #

Thanks sdowner. And thanks ambryel for changing that date.

Robinarie 04/25/2013 #

Thank you for continuing this swap!

Ambryel 04/26/2013 #

@cynaemon no problem. It's nice to have the extra time. @Robinarie of course! I hated to see this swap die out so early.

cynaemon 05/ 2/2013 #

Okay, Just mailed Robinarie's out today.

nikotine 05/ 5/2013 #

@ambryel - Will you be continuing to host this swap in the future?

Ambryel 05/ 6/2013 #

@nikotine I will be putting up the new swap today.
