A to Z Journal Swap - US Only
Swap Coordinator:chelle523 (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Books  Letters & Writing 
Number of people in swap:24
Location:Regional - U.S.
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:April 1, 2009
Date items must be sent by:May 1, 2009
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

For this swap, you'll have one partner for whom you'll make a journal of your favorite things from A to Z. You'll devote one page (or more) to each letter of the alphabet and list at least TEN things (that's the minimum, please feel free to do lots more!) that you like that begin with that letter. So, at the end of the swap, you'll have at least 26 pages - one (or more) for each letter of the alphabet listing things that you like. Sure, some letters (I'm thinking X and Y) might be a challenge, but that's the fun of it! <3

Having a hard time coming up with ideas for things? Think of:

Animals Plants TV shows TV characters Movie titles Movie characters Book titles Authors Book characters Comic characters Cartoon characters Foods Brand Names Colors Places Sports teams Sports players Science terms Words Feelings Activities Websites Songs Song Titles Bands Historical figures And anything else that comes to mind!!! <3

In addition to text, add images (collage, printed, drawn or painted) to make a truly awesome journal. The journal can be whatever size you like - purchased or made. Even an inexpensive composition book can make a great journal for someone with a creative mind. <3

The emphasis should be on QUALITY. Make a journal that shows off your creativity and that is worthy of giving to another swapper. It doesn't have to be expensive by any means, just take your time and put some of yourself into it. <3

I'm going to restrict this swap to people with a 4.5 rating or higher. You can't have any no-sends within the last 3 months. Newbies, please e-mail me and we'll discuss it. Please do not join this swap if you can't commit to completing a journal for your partner. I would hate to have someone work very hard on their journal and then get nothing in return. The lead time on this is long enough that you can get started on a journal long before partners are assigned, and there should be plenty of time to complete the journal. Due to the nature of this swap, I cannot angel this. <3

This is a U.S.-only swap because everyone I know is broke and international postage is tough right now. I'm sorry. <3

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. <3

CarlyJo 02/26/2009 #

yeah i love xXxcandyxXx....x amount of times candy....lol i have no idea what to do with x

chelle523 02/26/2009 #

LOL - I know - I thought about that. But there are several weirdo little animals that start with "x" that don't get a whole lot of press, so maybe we can change that for them! = ) Thanks for joining!

CatyCat 02/26/2009 #

I'm thinking "X - the letter". Heehee, clever. :]

chelle523 02/26/2009 #

LOL - yes it is! I wouldn't have thought about it, but it is a seriously cute little letter, isn't it? = )

What about Xtra kisses Xtraordinary days Xhilirating rides

Oops, I'm giving all of mine away ;)

chelle523 02/27/2009 #

@ feistyfoodie - Exactly!!! This one's meant to be fun and creative - not give anyone panic attacks or worries = )

chelle523 03/ 1/2009 #

Everyone feel free to invite friends to join the swap - the more, the merrier! :)

driftwood 03/ 3/2009 #

ok dumb question, do you use all the pages of journal, is it a journal for them to write in or just a book of our favorite things?

chuysgirl 03/ 5/2009 #

This seems right up my alley. I've never done this before, but am up to this challenge. Sounds like fun.

chelle523 03/ 8/2009 #

@ Driftwood (sorry it took me so long to respond - I didn't see the comment!) - this is just a journal for you to write your favorite things in. You can fill all the pages if you want to, but you don't have to. I hope that helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! :)

chelle523 03/ 8/2009 #

Well, welcome to the swap, chuysgirl! We're glad to have you = )

TennesseeSannie 03/17/2009 #

Hi! looking forward to doin this swap! Just wanted to make one request....my sister and I both are signed up for this one and we would prefer not to get one another for swap partners, cause then we can't talk about it or work on it together. She would be farmerswife and I am TennesseeSannie. TY

chelle523 03/17/2009 #

I am sorry, but evidently the partners are automatically assigned by Swap-bot and the swap hosts don't have any control over it. = (

TennesseeSannie 03/19/2009 #

:-( Ok I guess we'll just have to be ok with that. Thank you anyway!

sarashine 03/25/2009 #

I started on my journal yesterday. It's going to be an intense little project ^_^

chelle523 03/28/2009 #

Yeah, I think so, too - sarashine. But intense in a fun way =) I'm carrying mine around because I'm constantly finding inspiration all over the place!

chelle523 04/10/2009 #

For anyone who's having trouble, I found a great site that gives you a list of words that start with any letter:

Just type the first letter in the "partial word" field and you'll get your list!
