Description:

Ok now I try my hands on some kind of journal...You know, I haven't done this before so every suggestion is welcome. It might be that something like that has been done before, I didn't look for it so hope no one is angry if I stole an idea without knowing it lol.

So here's what we will do.

  1. Pick a journal. It can be handmade or bought, a small journal is fine for this. It has to have at least 26 pages (maybe two more...see paragraph 2).

  2. Decorate either the front and back of it or (if those are already nicely storebought journals) then decorate the first and last page of it. For everything here you don't have to be an artist, so even using stickers is allowed but of course you should do something your partner is happy to receive.

  3. Write on each page on the top a letter...so of course start with a-b-c-d----and so on.

  4. write below a word that describes you and starts with this letter. For example: A: Animallover...ashamed...artist...Pick one word that you think describes you.

  5. Under this explain why. One sentence is enough but of course you can write as much as you like.

  6. Add something to that page that matches the word/explanation. It can be a sticker, drawing/painting, collage, whatever.

  7. Send it to your partner on time.

As this is a very time intensive swap I will make this swap open to everyone that has done and got rated for at least 25 type 3 swaps. I know that journals are at high risk to be flaked on but I think in this group I can give it a try.

Also, you will have plenty of time to do this as you can start right away. So please send on time.

And please check in on swap bot at least two days before I assign partners so I know you are active...(if you are away and can't sign in then message me please)

My strictest swap so far I guess...but I know that this will cost us a lot of work so it should have a good end.

Questions?

What if our journal covers already have designs on them? I just picked out a journal with a floral pattern on the front and back. I'm not really sure what to add to it without it looking tacky. Any ideas?

Well...you are right...there are so beautiful journals that can be bought. Ok, I'll change the description. So we either decorate the front and back of the journal...or the first and last page of it.

Awesome! Thank you!

I love this idea, but the postage would kill my budget (over $18 each round, at least!) - I'd love to see some of these journal type swaps with thinner / smaller journals. I'm probably saying this in the wrong place :\
