Description:

There seem to be so many swaps that I love about journals but am not eligible to join because the rating is for 4.9 and my rating is sitting at 4.98. Very over being left out because I am 0.01 point short on my rating! So I thought I would make up my own swap.

First, PLEASE do not join if you intend to flake. There is a lot of work that goes into a journal and I think if you aren’t prepared to commit to the work then don’t join and ruin it for someone else.

Buy an exercise book that will have enough pages for at least 30 entries. (Keeping the journal as an exercise book to keep postage costs down.)

Over the course of 6 weeks you will make at least 30 entries in your journal. The difference with this journal is that it is not to be a diary of your life. infact it is more a collection of fun things to share with someone and make them feel good on a bad day. Keep your personal life out of it rather let your personality show through in creative ways.

Entries are of your own free choosing however, make sure a lot of them are things stuck in or drawn in and you add your comments to them eg. magazine pictures, cut out recipes, collage a page, zentangle a page , handy hints page, cartoon page etc. Fill your pages with feel good happy things; poems, quotes, etc. You are not limited to 30 entries and can make as many as you like but 30 is the minimum.

Make your entries colourful and pleasing to the eye. Please no R rated stuff or horror or supernatural stuff of any kind for this journal. Be respectful of all races, religions and sexual preferences. In other words, keep it clean and non offensive.

Of course you will have only one partner and this is not profile specific so just start creating as soon as you sign up. Do remember however that if you do not meet the requirements I will discount you in the swap. I expect a rating of 4.8 or higher. No newbies. Fully filled out profiles. No unexplained 1 ratings and no recent issues with swaps.

Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Love this idea, very creative

It says "keep your personal life out of it". What about sharing something happy or funny that happened to you that day, something in your life that might make your partner smile?

thanks Allison. Sara76 , yep keep your personal life out of it even if it is a good news story or happy thought. make it all about a feel good journal that someone else can benefit from without knowing you.
