Description:

I've only ever seen a few photo journal swaps around here, so I thought I'd be a host to one out of the many! Also, this is a good option if you're not into month long swaps and only want a short commitment!

We are going to begin a MINI photo journal to entry & take photos for just 2 weeks! So, the journal sizes can be homemade or store bought. The size preference is 4x5 or anything larger. (Any journal size is accepted as long as you can fit photos that you can see) Material should be decently sturdy to withstand the pictures. If you decide to make a homemade journal, please decorate the cover.

Label the journal, give it a date, a name, and begin taking pictures of whatever you'd like to include for your new mini journal! The pictures can be of food, what you did, the weather, perhaps some pretty scenery...its all up to you.

Everyday we will take 1 picture to fill our mini journal for just 2 weeks! So all together, that will be 14 photos. You will need atleast 14+ pages, this is why I recommend a handmade journal.

Each picture you take, you will also need to entry it. Tell us why you took the picture, or a description...etc. Give it a story!

How do I get the photos?

If, you dont have an instant camera, you can simply take a picture with your phone and you can either:

  1. Upload them to the Walmart Photo center for just 9 cents each. It will take them 3-4 days to print, you'll have to pick them up. If you have them deliver, prices go up. You can also check Walgreens, Office Depot, or a store that accepts photos.

  2. Snapfish, Freeprints, any cheap photo service will do good. They deliver right to your house for $2.99. They often give special deals like free photos, just pay for shipping.

In simplicity:

• 2 weeks

• 14 photos + entries

• any journal size, homemade or store-bought

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please send on time, DO NOT FLAKE, rate generously & have fun! I will be checking ALL profiles before assigning partners. Only well-filled profiles, and must have 25+ swaps completed with no recent 1's or 3's.

I'll give about a week span for you to send your journal incase you need to finish up some touches.

If you have any extra questions, leave a comment or message me!

Id love to join but Im afraid my pictures wouldnt arrive in time. And now the mail is slower.

Love the idea !

@Jinxspinx I'd love to have you join!! If I pushed back the dates a little, would that be suitable for you?

jinxspinx 03/19/2020 #

@parakeetmails , i wouldnt want you to cater just to me on the dates.

Are you printing your pictures? :) Im just trying to see how i can do this and not be late. hehe.

@jinxspinx No it's fine, I'm sure there will be other people that need time to have prints delivered to then as well.

Yes! I pick them up at Walmart, it only takes then 4 days processing :)

If you plan to join the swap, you can always start the pictures now and when the partners are assigned, just work on the journal/entries/decoration etc. Itll give you some time to work on it before hand. I'm not too stern lol 😁

Printing them at home is not acceptable?

parakeetmails 03/20/2020 #
