Description:

I edited this swap to extend the sign-up date

I just love the idea of swapping journals, but many call for artistic or creative abilities (which I possess very little of) and I'm too impatient to wait 1-2 months to get mine! Also, I prefer to have a little leeway with the topics i get to write about, so in this swap you will be allowed up to skip up to 3 journal entries.

-you must have completed at least 15 swaps, any kind

-NO 1's or 3's in the last 3 months

-you must have at least a 4.8 rating

SWAP DETAILS-

You can use a journal or composition notebook, store bought or handmade, but it must be at least 5 x 7. You can decorate it if you'd like, but it is not required. Please be aware this is mean to be a QUICK TURN AROUND SWAP. So if you have a lot going on right now or not sure if you can make the deadline, please don't sign up. This is not profile based, so you can start early if you'd like!

There are 19 journal topics listed below, #1 is REQUIRED and you are allowed to skip up to THREE topics. This means that your journal MUST have at least 16 entries, and of course you can do all 19 if you feel like it!

  1. write a basic intro about yourself-family, friends, job, pets, etc... (this one is REQUIRED)

  2. what is 1 bad habit you are trying to kick? how long have you been trying? why are you struggling with it?

  3. describe a typical day in your life, in detail!

  4. the bank just informed you that they made a clerical error and you actually have $1000 more in your account then you though. what do you do with it?

  5. If your family or a loved one were to describe you, in all honesty, what are 5 things they would say about you?

  6. where do you see yourself 10 years from now? what are doing today towards meeting that goal?

  7. if you could have 1 super power, what would it be and why?

  8. name 5 goals you are determined to meet before this year is over.

  9. of all the characteristics you do NOT possess, which one do you wish you had the most? how do you think it would change your life if you DID have it?

  10. What movie or song best describes your life currently? please print out the the lyrics and attach them to the page.

  11. fill a page with things that your family or loved ones do that secretly (or not so secretly) make you happy.

  12. write down a secret that no one else knows.

  13. if you could take back 1 thing you said to someone within the past week, what would it be and who did you say it to? what made you say it?

  14. you are a time traveler and are planning on going to 2005 next week. write a letter to yourself.

  15. what 10 things in life can you absolutely not live without?

  16. if you're artistic, fill a page with colorful doodles or a drawing Anything is fine but you MUST use at least 5 different colors.

  17. if you are crafty, fill a page with easy to follow instructions on how to make one of your favorite things (you can print something out from online and paste it on the page too). on the next page attach a picture of the final product OR list a few links to photos online OR include an actual sample of the final product.

  18. what is constantly on your mind? what do you obsess about?

  19. write about something that you feel you can NOT speak to your significant other about.

AGAIN-this is not an easy type of swap to angel, so please do not sign-up if you feel you can not make the deadline.

It says beginners at the top but not in the actual body of you paragraphs. May i join or no...? Because this sounds really great... If not i understand and good luck to all! :)

andre3aTHEarrrtist-hello! this is actually more of a "beginner" journaling swap, meaning it is not as time intensive as the normal ones. however you do need to have completed at least 15 swaps before you can participate. But if this one goes well I will be doing it again soon, so you can jump in on that one!

Ikat78 05/ 4/2010 #

Definately need to recruit some folks. i work on my journal at work...lol
