Description:

I was in a store while visiting my daughter and they had what looked like journals but they were full of interesting things, so my thought was WOW why not try to do a swap like that.

So the guidelines for this swap are -

1)You can create your own book/alter a book/whatever you want. You can put it in a folder with rings, etc. You can purchase a book, the choice is yours.

2)The size of the book is up to you, try to keep it light you pay weight-wise.

3)Must haves -

a)your name/your user name on swap-bot b)your pages must be full of whatever it is you would like to include for your partner. Try to include but not limited to - artwork, recipes, thoughts, quotes, etc make this something you would want to receive from your partner.

This book is not all art, all recipe, etc. it is a collage of many things

c)Include small gifts for your partner - whether it be a bookmark, atc, artwork, poetry, etc. what ever you are good at send to your partner as a gift

d)Include one (1) envelope full of journal topics for your partner to help them perhaps on their next journal swap.

e)# of pages to fill - minimum of 25 pages

f)include one page of Halloween/fall related postings

Have fun with your journal and please remember to send on time.

Neat idea! Watching for now :)

CaseyErin 08/24/2010 #

Okay, moving to Canada now! Love this swap idea!

Can you make this USA and Canada PLEASE!!!

Emeraldcharm14 08/29/2010 #

Hi! I've updated this to USA and Canada.

Megbomb 08/29/2010 #

So is this a journal we are altering for our partner to use or are we using it as our own journal?

CaseyErin 08/29/2010 #

Thank you, Emeraldcharm14, for including the US in your swap! :D

Emeraldcharm14 08/31/2010 #

walkinintheway - this is a journal that you are going to be filling and sending to your partner - you will fill the journal as the swap says and when completed send to your partner to read.

I like this idea. I have enjoyed a few journal swaps already. I believe the point is to include the "Must Haves" but also journal your days as you see fit?

babynavyblue 09/ 2/2010 #

This is so exciting! I cant wait to trade!

Ikat78 09/ 3/2010 #

Ok, I already started journaling:)

occasiongb6557 09/ 4/2010 #

i wish you had sample pages to give an idea---I think I get what your requests fot the journal are....watching for now.

babynavyblue 09/ 4/2010 #

You should join. I got a journal the other day, and I already put a quote and started drawing in it. I did this before at ATC's for All, nd it was so much fun.

Emeraldcharm14 09/ 5/2010 #

I wish i had a sample of pages to give you. The book is pretty much to fill it with what you want. You can have more than one topic on a page. You could draw on part of a page and journal on another part. You could put your to do list on a page, draw around it, make it colourful, etc.

Its pretty much whatever goes type of journal. Just don't focus on one topic or theme - such as don't make a cook book journal, or don't make an art journal. You want to let yourself soar with an Everything Journal.

Have fun with it. Make it interesting reading your partner.

Ikat78 09/ 7/2010 #

Here's some ideas:

Did anything weird cross your mind today? Place receipts or ticket stubs for something special you did and explain. Place some of your favorite poetry/quotes. List the movies you have seen recently and rate them. Doodle/draw That should get you started...lol.

occasiongb6557 09/ 7/2010 #

still thinking but getting closer to deciding. I guess this is a mixed media of what ever I feel like adding to it to keep my partner amused??? Thanks for the jumping off ideas too.

RyuLuna 09/12/2010 #

Uhm, it's now 2 days after the sign up deadline, and we still haven't gotten partners. If we don't have partners by tomorrow, I'm leaving the swap.

Emeraldcharm14 09/12/2010 #

yes i must apologize but i have been busy, the swap will start Sunday evening, can't be everywhere at one time.

crochetjunkie 09/12/2010 #

Don't worry Emerald, those of us veteran swappers understand that you have 7 days to assign partners.

RyuLuna 09/13/2010 #

I didn't mean to cause trouble! I just get my hopes up on these things, and I've had people forget to assign partners. I understand if she was busy. I'm sorry if I caused anything! I just wanted to get this journal rolling!!! :D

RyuLuna 09/13/2010 #

And, I didn't know you have up to 7 days to as sign partners! Thanks Crochetjnkie :)

kraftykj 09/28/2010 #

Have been working on mine! I like these type of journal swaps!

BansheeX 10/ 8/2010 #

Oh man, this sounds so cool! To bad I missed the sign up deadline. :(

Emeraldcharm14 10/11/2010 #

there will probably be more bansheex watch for them

Ikat78 11/ 4/2010 #

Ok people, just for the record (Lizaka71) the person I was assigned has not been on swap-bot for over a month. Emeraldcharm said I could send to Lizaka71's partner instead. So if I get a crappy rating all of a sudden you all know why. I am not a flaker!! Several attempts have been made to contact Lizaka71 without any answer.

RyuLuna 11/ 8/2010 #

Ikat78. I loved the journal. And Lizaka71, I will be rating you as a 1. If, you ever read thing. XD

Emeraldcharm14 11/28/2010 #

I haven't seen Lizka71 online since before the swap, but yes Ryuluna you should give her the 1 rating she deserves on it. Glad to hear that you got the journal lkat78 sent you!

Emeraldcharm14 11/28/2010 #

I have contacted the following people who have not sent out their journals for this swap.

HULL33 BOOKWORMGURL LIZKA71 CRAFTINGMOM

When their partners do receive their swaps I will remove them from this list.

kraftykj 12/ 6/2010 #

kraftykj 12/20/2010 #
