Description:

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)

1.Write a letter to yourself in the future
2.Find a photo of a person you know.Write a brief biography about them
3.Fill and entire page in your journal with stars.Colour them in
4.Create instructions for a simple everyday task (e.g. washing up, making a cup of tea)
5.Write a letter to somebody you admire
6.Glue a photo of yourself as a child into your journal. Write about what you think you were doing that day
7.Make a list of everything you would buy with a million dollars
8.Write an entry in code
9.Find a photo, alter it in anyway you wish, paste it in
10.Illustrate your grocery list
11.Make a map of everywhere you went in one day
12.Cut out all media for one day, write about the effects (try to do this on a non work day, but if you work everyday you may continue to use the essential things - not swapbot!)
13.Go for a walk, draw/list/take pictures of all the things you see
14.Physically alter a page (i.e. cut holes in it, pour tea on it, burn it, fold it etc)
15.Glue an envelope into your journal. For one week collect items you find in the street and put it in. Please don't put dangerous or really dirty items in.
16.Draw or list all the things in your purse/bag (the bag you carry all your belongings around in i.e. money, phone, lipgloss, hairbrush, diary. Not the one your money and cards go in)
17.Write your own definition of one of the following concepts - sitting, waiting, sleeping, eating, love
18.write an entry in your journal in really LARGE letters (free choice what you actually write)
19.Write down a secret. Cut it up and glue back randomly. You could cut the letters from different newspapers and magazines if you wished
20.Create a character based on somebody you know. Write a list of personality traits
21.Write a letter to someone entailing what you wished you told them but never did
22.List 10 of your habits (or all of them if you have less than 10)
23.List 10 things you would like to do every day
24.List your 10 most important things. Not including animals or people 25.Make a list of everything you buy in the next week
26.Write in your journal using a different medium (i.e. brush & ink, charcoal, old typewriter, crayons, markers) (again free choice what you write about)
27.Draw the individual items of your favourite outfit
28.Find a piece of poetry you respond to. Rewrite it and glue it in your journal
29.Write an entry about what you wished you could have done if you could go back in time.
30.Write about your relationship with someone 31.Cut a random shape out of layers of a magazine. Make a collage of the results.
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.

This is an international swap. Ratings over a 4.5 since alot of work will be going into them. No recent no sends. Sorry first-timers either. 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.

Also, its up to you whether you want to leave any spaces/blank pages for your partner to write in (Luckily I was alerted that I did not specify this by SuzeesCrafty, Thanks!!!) (:

Any questions you can PM me or comment below.

I love the themes you have for this! I'm adding it to my watch list.

Sharila 03/12/2009 #

me too!! As I am very interested in journal swaps but they seem a bit scary because I am afraid I wont come up with enough stuff for the book, but here we have already given activities to do, which is great for a newbie like me!

This is going on my wish list now. However, I'm going to start playing with ideas tonight, to see what I can come up with. What a fun idea. Thanks for having such an creative mind to come up with this swap. FUN FUN FUN!!!
