AussieSilver & Sweetypiedie share 2 Weeks of Life

For this swap you will record your life for 2 weeks. You can start recording your life when you sign up or wait. Please just make sure you record 2 weeks -- that should be 2 of each day of the week.

You will need a way to organize memories of the day (ie: folder, organizer, envelope, etc.) You can choose what works for you, but you need a way to label what things came from what day during the swap and may want to provide a brief explanation on some items.

You will also need a journal/notebook of some type. any size over A5 is welcomed and this can be handmade or bought.

Set a budget of $5 or so at the beginning of the week, that way you can share something with your partner like a fav. snack or sample of product, etc. I would like this to be a 3-D kind of swap - not JUST paper receipts and ticket stubs.

For this swap you will collect journal entries or notes, bits, baubles, empherma and whatnots from an average (or not so average) 2 weeks in your life. Then send to partner - who will be eagerly awaiting a glimpse into your world.

You will start Day 1 with your journal or folder in hand. As your day takes you where it will, collect the bits left behind as well as items that represent where you have been. Use your journal to record thoughts, insights or observations of the landscape and people around you. You may record your notes throughout the day or once in the evening, whatever is most comfortable for you. Each day will include notes or a journal entry in addition to what you have collected. Be creative.

Here are some ideas of things to collect:

Train or Bus tickets

Receipts Business cards or postcards from places you visited

A mixed CD of the music you listen to on your way to work each day

Notes or letters from friends/kids/whoever, if you don't want to part with the original - make a copy.

The chocolate bar you enjoyed while waiting for the bus.. well not the actual chocolate bar of course! Purchase a duplicate so you have one for your partner.

A coaster from your local pub

Menu from where you have lunch everyday

Recipes

A brochure from the place you receive massage or from your Chiropractor, a small bottle of something from where you get your hair done.

You could write a reveiw "That movie was horrible, the seats were hard and the kids behind me talked the whole time!"

A small souvenir from the festival you visited over the weekend.

A journal entry about the argument you and your S.O. had, or your daughter or son or best friend...

A sample of a craft you've been working on.

Photos of your surroundings, or a specific place.

Please remember: This swap is the grand tour of your life and how you live it, make it as interesting and detailed as you are!

Your week should not fit into just a letter sized envelope. Unless you are a shut in, but even then I think you could round up enough to make it interesting!

To me this is a high value swap, not because of monetary limits but because you should spend a good amount of effort and thought on this swap.

Please do not censor yourself, we all have different beliefs and opinions on things but we can act like adults and be tolerant.
