Christmas Journal Swap

Who doesn’t love Christmas? This way, you get to celebrate twice – once in creating your journal and getting all excited about the holidays, and once when you read about the other person’s fabulous adventures in Christmasland!

In this journal swap, your mission is to create a journal which is Christmas themed! Choose 25 prompts to use from the list below, and journal them. Please also include a page where you introduce yourself! Some of the prompts are easy, and some require a bit more thought. Both options should be presented in an aesthetically pleasing manner – though this is defined by the journalmaker! This could mean a sketchbook, a handmade book, a notebook – whatever you choose – but decorated to the Christmas theme (you can use whatever you like – stickers, washi tape, drawing, stamping, etc.), and obviously completed to a standard you would like to receive.

Without further ado, the themes!

You can start working on your journal as soon as December rolls around – or even before, if you know your Christmas season is going to get hectic! I will assign partners on November 30 (Australian time). You should have a rating of 5.0 to participate, but if you don't, message me and we can discuss (I'm prepared to make exceptions for someone with a really good reason), and have participated in at least eight Type 3 swaps. To reiterate, if you do not have these prerequisites, but you are still interested, send me a message. Negotiation might be possible.

If you don't have the ratings, and you haven't messaged me, but you've signed up anyway - I will take you out of the swap (to be fair to others who have done the right thing).

This is an international swap. Please be prepared to pay for postage!

Please rate your partner at least a 5 if you receive a journal – it is largely a sender’s choice swap. I am willing to angel any flakers.
