Squirrel’s Lumpy Bumpy EBTKS Journal Swap

Squirrel’s Lumpy Bumpy Everything-but-the-Kitchen-Sink* Journal

Is it a junk journal? Is it an art journal? Is it a smash journal? Is it a remains-of-the-day journal? Yes! Yes it is! It’s all of that and more.

Do you arrive home at the end of any journey, no matter how short, even around the block with the dog, with a pocketful of whatnot and a headful of ponderful observations? Do you find it impossible to get through a newspaper, magazine, or the daily mail without spotting a treasure? Do you doodle your way through meetings and phone calls? This then, is the swap for you!

To meet the requirements of this swap: Fill a journal with at least twenty pages of your hoarded booty of clippings, findings, observations, earworms, snippets of overheard conversation, grocery lists, to-do lists, recipes, patterns, notes to self, and stuff emptied from pockets and purses and bags and desktops. Glue it, stitch it, tape it, write it and otherwise attach it to a page in the journal. The journal should be at least 9-3/4” x 7-1/2” and can be handmade or purchased. “Decorate” only the front side of the page. Each page should be multi-media and multi-itemed. Send on time. Understand that postage for this swap will run upwards of $6 and this journal can’t be sent media rate.

*“Kitchen Sink” for purposes of this swap is hair, fur, fingernails, and other shed DNA, bio hazards, perishables, and anything your partner has listed as an allergen or allergic trigger.

While this is a group swap*, all the usual should-be-unnecessary cautions and warnings regarding flaking. apply. Don't flake. I'm not capable of hate (I don't think), but karma has no deadline, and one day, you will regret disappointing me. Flakers will be reported to whatever authorities seem appropriate and nominated for banishment, in addition to whatever other consequences can be imposed.
