MJS: Say It With Pictures Magpie Journal

For this Magpie Journal, we're going to do things a little differently...

Normally when we do our magpie journals, there's a certain amount of writing or typing involved. But in this one, I want you to show us your favorites in pictures only! It's okay if the photos have text, but don't write or type any explanation of what your favorites happen to be. So go through your stash of ephemera and goodies and tell us with pictures what you love/want/fave. Some ideas for inspiration: • Maps • Old books • Magazines • Ephemera • Tickets • Advertisements • Menus • Photos • Thrift store finds • Drawings • Paintings • ATCs • Handmade items • Food wrappers (clean) The possibilities are endless!

The specifics: Please use a journal no smaller than 4 x 6 inches. You should plan on filling at least 20 pages (one side of a page equals one page) with items. Please don't use anything sticky or smelly. Make something you'd like to receive in return!

As always, if problems arise and you are going to be late, please keep your swap partner in the loop. This has a pretty long lead time and is not partner specific so you should have a good long time to work on it, but we understand sometimes life gets in the way.

If you’re on Instagram, feel free to share your journal with the hashtag #mjsmagpie

Happy swapping!
