Description:

The first one I am hosting seems to be popular, so here is round 2, with differant themes.

Taken from round #1

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) Credit has been given to the people who suggested themes to me. They are Bren, Lw2dragonflies and solarts. I have added their names in brackets after each theme they suggested.

  • Explain how to make your favourite sandwich
  • Where would you go in a time machine
  • List at least 25 uses for a tin can
  • Write an entry following the edge of the page and spiral inwards, turning your journal as you write (bren)
  • Describe your bedroom in your perfect house
  • Write about your most memerable birthday
  • record an overheard conversation (lw2dragonflies)
  • Make a list of everything you bought this week
  • 25 you want to do/accomplish before you die
  • 100 things that make you happy
  • List 15 things to do when you are bored
  • Imagine a close friend has lost something very valuble to them (a ring, a key, a pet) and it must be found. How do you help them to find it? Where do you look? What do you do?
  • List 10 pet peeves and why they bother you (bren)
  • List 20 things that give protection (eg a seatbelt)
  • Inside the box with the big pink bow is……….?
  • Which is your favourite disney character and why?
  • if you won the lottery what would you do?
  • Name as many uses as possible for an ice cube
  • Write an entry with the following title - socks
  • Write about your perfect pet
  • what part of a newspaper/magazine do you read first and why
  • Write the directions from your home to your favourite place
  • Draw your shoe
  • Write an entry with the following title – secrets
  • how to pack efficently for a trip
  • write a list of all the things you do to escape
  • Make rubbings of textured flat items, like kids do with leaves and coins (bren).
  • describe Saturdays at your house
  • Create a CD of your favourite music. Add it to your journal with a track list and a bit about the songs and why you chose them if you can't make mix cd's please see comments box below (solarts)
  • Create your own fantasy character. Name him or her. It could be a person, animal, plant, object. Write about the character, likes, dislikes etc. Sketch the character so your partner knows what it looks like (solarts)
  • List your favourite craft projects. Choose one, and tell your partner how to do that craft. (solarts)

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.

If anybody has any other ideas for fun themes I do plan on doing this swap again until people get bored. Leave your themes below or PM me. I will give you credit for the theme!

This is an international swap as it shouldn't cost much to post. Ratings over a 4.9 since alot of work will be going into them. No recent no sends. Sorry no newbies either, although I would be willing to do private 1 on 1's with newbies for the same thing. 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.

Any questions you can either PM me or comment below.

ProudNana 05/21/2008 #

Ok I saw the first one and really thought about it, but for some reason( I'm easily sidetracked LOL) did not sign up....I am soooo happy that you are doing a round 2 :D

scowlette 05/21/2008 #

i would love to join this swap but can't make mix cds ((((frown))))

ClareyFairy 05/21/2008 #

proudnana you still have time to join the first round! Its over on the top swaps list, was at 7 last time I looked.

Scowlette, leave it with me and see what I can come up with as an alternative, any suggestions anybody?

angel1985 05/22/2008 #

I'm going to work extra hard to get my first journal finished and then start working on this one, I'm loving these!

ClareyFairy 05/22/2008 #

I don't want to exclude people from the swap that can't make CD's, so what I am going to say is, if you can't make them, please let me know so I can make a note of it for if problems crop up in the future. Then if you still do the track list, and why you chose them. If you add a little note (doesn't have to be on the journal page) saying that you can't make CD's. I would hope nobody will rate you down for it, and if they really want the mix CD I can mail out a couple of CDs to people in your place.

How does that sound to people?

txnoumena 05/22/2008 #

I am having SO MUCH fun on the first one... so glad you are hosting another one!

solarts 05/25/2008 #

Just an idea for those who can't make a mix cd . Write down a list of their 20 or 15 favorite songs, and clip a photo of the band or singer onto the page. Like a collage of favorite tunes. Write down not only the favorites but some of the lyrics. Be creative.

fsjbrit 06/ 5/2008 #

I'm going to have to drop for the time being as i don't htink i'll be around for much of july as our travelling plans are changing....but if things change again i'll sign up again closer to the date...have fun with this one:)

lynnemcf 06/17/2008 #

For those that cannot make mix CDs, what about sending a "past favourite" CD to the partner. I have several CDs that I used to love but I hardly listen to anymore.

papersky 06/26/2008 #

this looks amazing...i only wish i had enough free time for each journal entry! maybe in the future. =D

sockerhamster 06/30/2008 #

I will join this one. I joined the last one too, but realised it didnt have the time back then. Now I do. And it seems so much fun! :D

winktwice 06/30/2008 #

This looks like a ton of fun--I hope you're still doing these when I'm no longer a newbie and am allowed to do it too!

Katiad 07/ 1/2008 #

Hope you host more of these! July and August are jam packed for me... moving... Rawr. Fun, though!

cerwinrhiannon 07/ 3/2008 #

I can't mix a CD either, but I can do one of the alternatives.

cerwinrhiannon 07/ 6/2008 #

Listing everything we bought in a week was done in round #1. Do we have to do it again?

ClareyFairy 07/ 7/2008 #

sorry I didn't realise I had duplicated one, that was an oversight on my part, but I don't think it would be fair to change it now. You can always use the list you did for the last one?

angel1985 07/ 7/2008 #

Is there going to be another Theme A Day swap for when this one finishes? fingers crossed!

ClareyFairy 07/ 8/2008 #

Yes there will be, I am currently compliling possible themes and will be posting one shortly, so if anybody has any ideas please let me know!

angel1985 07/ 8/2008 #

Possible themes:

Create your personal coat of arms (shield) and explain the symbols within.

Describe your perfect job.

Write a letter to someone you've lost contact with but would love to re-connect with.

What were you doing this time one/five/ten/fifteen years ago?

Take a photo of everything you wear for a week.

Make a list of everything you cook in a week.

Commit a random act of kindness and imagine how it has the ripple effect.

What's your favourite season? Why do you like it so much? What do you do during that season?

solarts 07/14/2008 #

If I had time to do this one I would have signed up. This one looks like a fun one. Ciao

Moineau - I just wanted to let you know that I shipped your journal out today via USPS First Class Mail. It's coming to you from Raleigh, NC. I hope you enjoy!
