Description:

Each of you will handmake or purchase a handmade mini journal with a minimum of 24 pages. (one side only with text, back should be left blank or have a graphic or drawing, stamping, etching, etc.) You can of course make it longer if you wish.

Let's make this like a real published book journal. You should type or handwrite (clearly) a word on each page, then add a bible verse, an affirmation, a quote, etc. using that word. Each page will have a different word. You are free to choose the words that you feel remind you of your faith, or would remind your partner of their faith. You may use the back of each page to stamp something pretty, or draw something, or attach a cut out that is pretty. But most of all, it should look professional or like some real effort and thought has gone into the creation.

You may make your journal cover out of any medium, paper, card stock, leather, metal, chip board, but please decorate it in some way, don't just make it a plain wrapper or slap some stickers on a card stock and be done with it. Use nice paper for the pages, maybe even handmade papers if you have some.

Size: no smaller than 2x2 and no larger than 3.5x3.5 since this is a mini journal. the pages can be glued in, sewn in, bound, riveted, ringed etc.

Your cover must include the title: "Spiritual Words to Live By" and be sure to reference the authors or source of each of your texts used on each page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to pm me. I'm giving plenty of time to finish this since we want it to be a really nice journal creation and you will only have one partner so that it's not overwhelming. Don't worry about extra's, The most important thing is the effort you put into making this journal for your partner. I'm making this International so that everyone can join in, but you must have a rating of at least 4.8 with no recent no-sends and no 1's. 3's will need to be explained satisfactorily. If you're a newbie, please pm me first. Please don't flake, if you see that there is a problem and you're not going to follow through, then drop the swap or let me know so that we can work it out.

Hi I was just wondering when we were going to get partners assigned for this swap? I wanted to look at my partners profile to check out likes/dislikes for colors and all that fun stuff. Thanks.

everyone, i'm so sorry i missed the deadline for assigning partners. i have no excuses except that i'm taking care of my 86 year old mom in law who has alzhiemers and i think it's rubbing off on me! i do apologize for the delay, and hope i've not caused anyone any inconvenience...please forgive me! thanks and let's get crafting...
