You will keep a journal for a month then send it to your partner. You choose the size. You may use a composition notebook, mini notebook, homemade or store bought journal, etc. The daily themes are below. Feel free to be creative with your pages. Thanks to weeatcrayons for some of the prompts!

1) Write an introduction.

2) Make a list of 10 things you need to do this week. 3) Who did you talk to today? List everyone even if it was just a hello to someone.

4) Write about your hobbies. Feel free to include a sample or a photo.

5) Create either a really ugly page (images, draw bad, ugly stickers, etc) or a really pretty page (images you like, cute/pretty drawings, pretty stuff)

6) List 10 things you can see from where you're sitting.

7) Turn your journal upside down and write an entire page in the opposite direction to how you normally write. Write about your favorite foods, drinks, games, and people.

8) How much money did you spend today and what did you buy? From where?

9) Write a timeline of your day today. For example: 8:00 AM--Woke up and ate Frosted Flakes for breakfast. 8:30 AM--Took a shower and realized I was out of mousse when I started doing my hair.

10) Write down lyrics or a poem you really like.

11) Write about what scares you.

12) Write in a circle. Start at the top, side, bottom, middle and write making a huge never-ending line making a circle! Fill up mostly the whole page writing about a favorite ritual or tradition.

13) Cut out pictures, text, from magazines, newspapers, etc and glue them to the page to make art.

14) List 100 things you love (could be places, objects, people, etc)

19) List 10 things that you would like to do someday.

20) Write with multiple colors on the same page. The theme "If I could change one thing about my life it would be..... and why.."

21) Describe your favorite place to write in your journal and why it's your favorite. If you don't normally keep a journal, like myself, Describe your favorite place to just get away from it all. Someplace you like to be by yourself!

22) Write in all capital letters today about your pet peeves.

23) Look around the room. Choose one thing you see and write about it.

24) Tear or cut up a photo, magazine pic, map, etc., and glue the pieces back together randomly. 25) List three things you can't live without. (not the basic air, water, food)

26) If you had to evacuate your home because of a natural disaster, what three things would you take with you?

27) List 5 things you have collected at any time in your life.

28) Glue in an artifact from your day. This could be a business card from a place you visited, a ticket from a movie you saw, a stamp from an envelope, etc.

29) Make a list of things you sense right now for each of your five senses: Touch, taste, sight, smell, sound.

Thanks for making an international swap for this. Do the pages have to be in the same order as above or can you mix them up depending on what takes your fancy on any given day so long as all topics are covered?

JoyAnne 04/29/2010 #

I think it would be ok to mix them up.

MoosePhysh 04/30/2010 #

This sounds really intriguing.

samash 04/30/2010 #

There is already this swap here and it ends around the same time too...http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/58902

Aren't 14 and 19 a bit too similar? ;o)

JoyAnne 04/30/2010 #

Gusti, yes, they were so I changed one.

JoyAnne 04/30/2010 #

samash, I couldn't do that one because of an allergy to perfumes and other scented items.

damilola 05/ 1/2010 #

secretterrabite 05/ 3/2010 #

I love doing these, it really makes you think about yourself. Nice questions too, think I might have to start now...

AndrewLips 05/ 4/2010 #

Please do this again and if you do this again please contact me. I don't have enough time to do something like this yet but would love to do it! I don't want to send something crap so I won't join for this one due to my busy schedule. please do this again! x

AndrewLips 05/ 4/2010 #

I've decided I must do this swap and I will put all my effort into it and make it great! x

JoyAnne 05/ 8/2010 #

I'm glad you are joing AndrewLips. I've been working on my journal and really enjoying it!

suzie 05/12/2010 #

Sounds cool:)Would be glad to join something similar later on though as I already am taking part in a journal that requires a lot fo dedication and work.

I printed the question list out when I joined so I could start the journal. I just sent it out, and looked back here, and noticed that some questions have changed. So my apologies to my partner who will have the answers to the original questions. :(
