Description:

I have changed this swap just a bit. You will now have 2 partners for this swap. You will also have a choice on some of the themed pages you send your partner. I have decided to do a different vegetable each month. This month will be corn. I hope you join! Have Fun! Be creative! :)

For each swap, we will have 2 partners. We will send at least 4 pages to our partners with 4 different themes. Of course, you may send more if you wish. Everyone should use 8.5 x 11 inches size paper. It is the size of standard printer paper. Do not send standard notebook paper. We will be using card stock for our pages. This will make our journals nicer. Please decorate your pages. This can mean adding some doodles or stickers. Just some decoration, so we are not just getting a plain typed or written sheet of paper. Let's make something pretty for our journals. Also, pages are to be mailed in a large envelope. Pages are not to be folded.

I will change the themes each month, so we will have a variety in our journals. I will probably do a recipe theme and a list each month, but will add a variety of other things. Some things will be seasonal.

Include your name on each page, so your partner will know who each page is from once it is placed in their journal.

The themes (pages) for this month:

  • A Bible verse. On this page, you should include at least one Bible verse that you would like to share with your partners. Along with the Bible verse, you may add a personal paragraph about the verse, a song, poem, quote... Anything special that you feel you would like to share.

  • Corn. Include at least one recipe and anything else you would like to about corn.

  • A list of gardening tips. Your list must include at least 5 tips to use in the vegetable garden.

  • The Vegetable Garden. Include a vegetable garden themed page. You may choose to list your favorite things about gardening, write about your garden & what you grow, memories from the vegetable garden, a garden poem... Anything you wish as long as this is a page about the vegetable garden. (If you don't have a vegetable garden, do you grow vegetables in a container or do you think of the farmer's market as your vegetable garden?)

This is not a requirement, but if you have not sent an introduction page to your partner in a previous swap, it would be nice to include one. Be creative with this and do whatever you feel like doing. Tell about yourself in any way you wish. Your only limitation is your own imagination! Include a bit about you, your family, your crafts, animals, homestead... This doesn't have to be a written page, although it can be. It could be a list or pictures... Tell us about you in any way you wish.

I am giving three weeks from the sign up date for this swap. All the items are sender's choice, so you may start on it now if you wish. Let's have fun and make a very special journal for our Christian homesteads.

This is a type 3 swap because it is time-intensive.

I don't have much extra to spend on postage at the moment, but I'm doing these prompts in my own journal along with you ladies :) I love all of the fun themes you choose @TwinMom :)
