Description:

If you would like your own personalized themed journal, then this swap is for you!

Thanks to @OnceInABlueMoon for letting me use her idea to run this swap again- (previously called U-Name-It Themed Journal swap). It was so great the last time i couldnt wait to give it another go.

After you have signed up for the swap, enter the theme you'd like your journal to be in the comments section below. It might be something like a dream journal, or an art journal (my personal favorite). Or, it might be something more broad like “friendship”, in which you might keep not only thoughts or inspirations regarding your friends, but perhaps poems, songs, gift ideas, etc. Or a place to journal your summer vacation. It could be anything. Please make your theme rather general – not a detailed account of how you would make the journal, but rather, what your theme is, and (if it’s not apparent by the title) how you plan to use it. You may use either a handmade or a storebought, but hand-embellished, journal. Let’s keep them at least 5”x7” – unless your partner requests something smaller (perhaps for her purse). You may embellish pages as well, with artwork or small accents including quotes or poems – so long as it is more like an embellishment, rather than a journal entry.
As this is my first public swap no newbies right now- sorry guys, maybe next time, and please no flakers. Ratings of at least 4.8, with no 1s nor 3s in last 3 months.

so we are making this with just prompts or leaving the inside blank for our partners?

This is an awesome idea! I would like a travel journal. If you want to really personalize it, I am volunteering to go on a trip to Tanzania, Africa for Global Impact and will be leaving end of August and gone for two weeks. That's what I want the travel journal for. : )

@stefanija We're leaving this blank inside for our partners. Were just decorating the journal for them.

I would absolutely love this swap but I am hoping for a Regional version :)

Do the partners get to request if it's handmade or store bought?

chrissi2286 07/ 1/2010 #

@watchmespinning Good question, i hadnt thought of that. Maybe to make it easier this time around we let it be senders choice on that one, some people may not be confident if a partner asks for handmade.

I myself would love an art journal.
