magpie journal-usa

Hi! Can you elaborate more on the quality of the entries? For example, is it considered a type of art journal where the 30 entries will be creatively put together and decorated? Or not so much?

@anandatashie , the entries can be anything you have collected. example: if you collect recipes, then you can put a copy of that recipe in the book, or if you collect/write poems, you can put a copy of that in also. i hope this helps

If I were to handwrite an entry would that count? Or is it only a compilation of individual articles/cards? Just want to be clear on the expectations.. Thanks!

@draco is this an idea of what you are wanting the swap to look like Photos by @midteacher

If so , this is going to be a fun swap :-)

On my watch list

Same as abvoe questions... I don't want to decorate mine elaborately then receive one with only handwriting. Is this supposed to be decorated art-journal style?

it doesn't have to be elaborately, but you can decorate it anyway you wish. it can have both writing and decorated if you wish. not everyone is artistic, myself included. hope this helps

I've done this swap about four times. Only one time did I get one that was "artsy," which was very much like the one in the link above. Mine are always items stuck in with a few comments.
