Journaling TWIST! EDIT!!!!! look at the prompts!!!

Adapted this swap from a few I saw for USA only. Hope you like it!

This is a BIG swap. I will be checking profiles and REQUIRE a PM from anyone who is new to prove their commitment. We will also be sending the journal back. YOU will rate when you receive your partner's journal. THEY will comment on your profile when they receive their journal back from YOU!

DIRECTIONS for YOUR journal:

1st Buy or make a journal that is at least A5 size (or close and it must have a minimum of 40 pages – make sure you leave about 10 pages for your partner and any reflection you may have).

2nd Decorate the front and back to personalize the journal to YOUR style.

3rd Complete all 10 journal prompts inside your book.

4th Mail your journal to your partner! (Don't forget to comment on their profile when you receive your journal back.)

DIRECTIONS for your PARTNER’S journal:

1st Read the entire journal.

2nd Rate your partner for following the direction.

3rd On the first blank page write a LETTER to your partner about what you like in their journal, feelings it gave you, thoughts it provoked… (at least a full page please)

4th Pick TWO of the 10 prompts to complete inside your PARTNER’S journal! (this does not have to match your journal answers, it may be an extension, new topic, and/or different all together!)

5th MAIL their journal back to them!!!!!

Journal Prompts

1. Introduce yourself as you would to a stranger, make sure to tell them at least 3 things that ARE NOT on your swap-bot profile. *Include a photo of yourself on this page.

2. Make a list of 5 songs you enjoy and pick one of them to write a paragraph or two about (this could be why it is important to you or just the history behind the song) *Include the lyrics to part or all of the song on the adjoining page.

3. Highlight an important family member/pet to you. Tell 6 reasons they mean so much to you, and 1 thing they do that drives you crazy!

4. Write about a childhood memory that stands out to you. *Draw/sketch an illustration to go with it on the adjoining page that is like a kid’s work of art!

5. Describe your perfect GIRLS NIGHT OUT/IN. What would you all do? Is food involved, dancing, projects, movies? Who would you invite (This is the cool part - they can be dead/alive/and/or famous not necessarily someone you know!) Dream your wildest dreams and make your partner jealous they aren't invited, or invite them too!

6. What is your favorite candy/sweet? When you eat it what does it taste like, how does it make you feel, does it bring to mind anything special? *Paste a wrapper from the candy or an advert for the sweet on the adjoining page.

7. Pick a day to TIMELINE and make sure to give a detailed description of what you did throughout the day. (for example: 6:15am got up and wished it was Saturday, let the dog out…hmm doggie door might be a nice idea?...made hubbies sandwiches – why didn’t I do this last night?... kicked him out of bed and climbed back in at 6:35am!) *Include any receipts you might have got, ticket stubs, business cards of places you visited… anything that is “memorabilia” from the day and glue it in along the timeline!

8. If you could write THE novel/book what would it be about? Tell the plot or storyline and why this topic is your choice. Is this autobiographical or purely fiction? Where is your inspiration from?

9. What is your favorite color/shade? Why do you like it so much? What are things you like in that color? *Decorate the adjoining page using the color/shade! Be creative and cover an entire page completely.

10. Surprise! Come up with something on your own to add to your journal. Just make sure it is at least one full page.
