Description:

**This is for those that missed out on the beginning of #2 this year and don't want to wait for #3 to start. Have fun.

This swap is same as the last. So enjoy everyone.

First and foremost before I get started, I want to make perfectly clear that this IS a LONG TERM project that will take a good amount of time to put together and fill with all your wonderfullness. Now on to the fun part. In this swap, you will have one partner to whom you will buy,fill, and send a 5 subject notebook. Now let me tell you about what you will fill it up with; you will take one of the bigger 5-subject notebooks and fill it up with whatever goes on in your life that you wish to share with your partner/new friend & confidant. You will also embellish/decorate the notebook with whatever your heart desires. The only rule is that you must fill at least 75% of the notebook, which should not be hard given the length of the swap. Now for the nitty gritty: no newbies, sorry this is too long and time consuming of a project, have at least a 3.5 or above, and no recent no sends. IMPORTANT YOU MUST SIGN IN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK TO LET US KNOW THAT YOU ARE STILL IN THE SWAP AND WORKING ON IT. In the first version of this, I had people not signing in for months so some changes had to be made. Other than these, Happy Journaling!!!!!

yay thanks for makin this one!! it does say its international, but you have it as USA....im in USA so its fine LOL, but just curious about that

amandawintersteen 02/ 3/2009 #

There's nothing in here that says its international. Its USA only.

shfacey 02/ 3/2009 #

This sounds like a really great swap. I will have to keep it in my watch list and hope I can do it. Also it does say it is international. In the last couple of sentences it says "This is International. Other than these, Happy Journaling!!!!" You probably meant to say this is not international, but forgot the "not" :)

mooseika 02/ 3/2009 #

In the second to last sentence of the description, you state that it is international.

Just thought I'd let you know... :)

amandawintersteen 02/ 8/2009 #

yes but this is copied and pasted from the original...but its not international

JPINEDA 03/ 2/2009 #

I have an altered journal i would like to use instead. is this ok?

amandawintersteen 03/ 2/2009 #

as long as it has enough pages that would make it like a 5 subject notebook.

grandmaroro 03/12/2009 #

I was hoping for a smaller notebook since it involves less time - but......I'm willing to try. I'm now signed up for two journal swaps, AND i DON'T JOURNAL!!! Sure hope my partners are understanding. Still wish I could see one before I start ! If I'm not doing well by the sign-up date, I will drop rather than have an incomplete swap. Thanks for creating this one. Joan

amandawintersteen 03/13/2009 #

You'll do great Joan. As long as the journal means something to you, it will mean something to your partner. There is no wrong way to make it. Keep in mind you don't have to fill up the whole notebook...only 75% of it. I'm sure that your future partner will love anything you make.

Angel 05/ 4/2009 #

I am soo excited about starting my journal, I write every day so this will be a lot of fun for me, I have a lot of stuff I'd love to share too!

diamondsapril 05/27/2009 #

I have done 4 swaps, am I still a newbie?

hereintherain 05/29/2009 #

Im just curious if anybody has any idea how many pages approximately the 5 subject notebooks are I would really love to join this swap but I am really into making my own journals lately so just curious.

spin 06/ 1/2009 #

I'm still a newbie... here is hoping you host one like this again when I am not new any more :) I'll be wacthin' Have fun y'all!

amandawintersteen 06/ 5/2009 #

hereintherain-a 5-subject has about 180 or so pages. and spin-I have a third one set up for next year already if you are still interested.

Pancua 06/ 9/2009 #

This may sound really bad but I am not able to actually write for long periods of time, I have some kind of muscle issue in my hands. I usually type my letters as my hands don't fatigue quite as quickly.

I already keep an electronic diary of sorts, I am curious if I could print those as I write them and glue it onto the book and embellish the pages? I can even print it onto decorative paper since I already have a lot on hand

I don't want to upset anyone so thought I would ask first.

diamondsapril 07/ 3/2009 #

I am anxious to get my partner; I will check in either on MOndays or Tuesday morning each week.

mfinley524 07/ 5/2009 #

Why haven't we gotten out partners yet? I'm excited about starting this swap! :)

mfinley524 07/ 5/2009 #

amandawintersteen 07/ 7/2009 #

mermaidery 07/13/2009 #

Shoot, I just missed this one by a few days. If you decide to put another one up, please keep me posted! I'd love to join a 6 month journal swap.

SunArtist 12/18/2009 #

just checking in again. Still working in the journal!

wytch6 12/22/2009 #

Just a heads up to those of you who are still in the swap - the hostess is suspended and so is @tdennis If you have either of these people as partners now might be a good time to check on all participants and perhaps arrange amongst yourselves to send to an alternative partner. REMEMBER that they cannot suspended swappers cannot rate you until they are unsuspended so it may come back to bite you later. Your "new" partner will also not be able to rate you either as you are not the assigned partner.

JPINEDA 12/30/2009 #

OH CRAP. i just packed it up and am ready to send. my partner is tdennis. what do i do now????

SunArtist 01/ 1/2010 #

My partner is the hostess, who do I send to now? It's been alot of work put in to this journal and I don't want to send it to someone who is flaking on their partner. Any ideas?

driftwood 01/ 6/2010 #

Well, even if you can't be rated a nice thank you on your profile comments would work. I feel bad for all the gals who don't have a partner. My partner is @SunArtist and I will mail this week. This was a great swap and it stinks that it got messed up.

tazangelbabydes 01/12/2010 #

so i take it that means i wont be recieving anything since the host was supposed to send to me?
