Description:

Almost the end of the year! Time to reflect! :)

For this swap, you will either buy or make a small journal - no smaller than 4x6 - with at least 10 pages. (You can make a pretty nifty journal from used envelopes - all the holiday card envelopes could have a 2nd life!).

Inside the journal, you will create 8 lists reviewing the year 2017. The lists can be of your choosing, but aim for at least 5 items on the list. You could, for example, list your favorite CD's that came out this year, or the places you traveled to.
Then, you will make 2 lists for the coming year, 2018. This swap is sender's choice, so you can start working on it before partners are assigned. The lists can either be written in the journal, or you can type the lists and fix them to the pages, which ever you feel more comfortable with. You can add more items or more list topics if you wish, but the 10 lists of at least 5 points each are the requirements.

If you need ideas of topics for the lists, feel free to ask or list in the comments section, or you can PM me and I'll help you brain storm. :) Low stress, just a little reflection. :)

Please PM me with questions or comments. :)

This looks like a fun one! Now I have a reason to use the envelopes I've been saving.

I think 2017 was so awful I don't want to go over it. How about a "plans for 2018" swap? Once boring January is out of the way obviously :-)

@SparkJoy - yes, exactly! I'd been saving envelopes for this too, even had one journal made for it. I was cleaning out my desk area and my daughter came over to help (she gets the best choice of stationery and stickers that way, after all!) She accidentally recycled all the envelopes! Oh no! So I'm starting over from fresh again. I'll have to be "creative"! :)

@secretterrabite - I'm not thrilled with reviewing 2017, but I'm hoping it will be like closure. :) But plans for 2018 sounds good! Feel free to host it, if you want. :)

I’m struggling ideas for my lists for this year. So far I have: events from this year, songs I like from this year and places I’ve been this year. I can’t do a film one as I’ve only seen 1 new film this year. I might do a one on books but I still need some other suggestions please 😊x
