Description:
Here is a Journal Swap inspired by @marcsgrl I have asked her for permission to host this one. In this swap you will fill a journal with papers found on the street/ in the mall/ at the parking or where ever as long as it isn't your own trash. It can be anything related to paper and writings, for example: cards receipts tickets doodles to-do-lists Well, anything that gives a glimpse into someone elses life. To fulfill this swap and get a 5 you have to: Buy or make a journal . If making it be sure it is well done. Find at least 60 paper litters Fill the journal with at least 20 pages Beside/ under each litter you will date, translate and tell your partner where you found it and what it is. Embellish and decorate the pages the way you want. If the litter itself is big or colorful perhaps embellishments and decorations aren't needed. Nothing "adult" or anything that can offend anyone Who can participate?? You must have 20 or more craft/ packages swaps completed You need a rating of at least 4,9 No 1's or 3's this year You must have been logged in at least 2 days before last date to sign in This is a swap that takes time and effort to complete and since it is international the cost is high. That's why my requirements are higher as well. remember: Since I live in Sweden there is a time difference, but I will assign partners as soon as possible. And before assigning I WILL CHECK ON EVERYONE to avoid flakers!!

Looks exciting im getting on the watch list

Oh, that sounds fun! I don't suppose the journals may be handmade?

LadyStephanie 03/ 8/2010 #

Ooo, I hope we can use a handmade journal. @SwedishMum what do you think? As long as it is neatly done...

SwedishMum 03/ 8/2010 #

Ok me myself can't / ain't able to make a journal and therefore I chosed to write a bought one.....
If you aren't disappointed in getting a bought one when you have made yours it would be ok to make the journals.

I changed the dates for the swap
There are already 24 ppl watching so I thought we could start off early. The date for sending is also changed so we won't be sending so close to the Summer holidays.....

I got flaked on in the Found swap that @marcsgrl hosted - major bummer. But I enjoyed collecting and annotating found items, so I'm going to take a risk and join this one - I hope my luck is better this time around!

Can you explain a little more what you mean by the translating? I'm not likely to be able to translate things into Swedish, for example (unless I use an online computer translator). Also, I wouldn't mind if I got found items in a foreign language - that would be part of the fun to me!

SwedishMum 03/13/2010 #

@camelsamba - with translating I meant to translate in English so everyone can understand.
When I find something over here it will be in Swedish and noone will understand what it is and what it says. So beside my paper founds I will translate it and describe where it come from.

Ooh, missed this. I'll keep an eye open for another one in the future, as it looks like a fun fun swap. :)

SwedishMum 03/18/2010 #

user2637 03/22/2010 #

Yay! I'll bookmark you and put it in my calendar so I don't forget. :)

SwedishMum 04/17/2010 #

I will host another one when this is over and when the swap is up I will pm the ones who has left a note here.

grimmlynn 04/19/2010 #

I missed it, too. If you are going to host another one, I would definitely join. In fact, it is such a neat idea that I might just start one just because. What a great swap!

SwedishMum 04/21/2010 #

I definitely want to do another one !! It is so much fun!
