Description:

In this swap you will keep a journal for one month.

For this swap:

  • The Journal will be a composition notebook (the black and white books that are usually super cheap at Wal-Mart).
  • You will decorate the front and the back outside covers. The theme of the journal should represent you, a visual introduction of who you are.
  • You do not have to decorate the inside of the covers but you can if you want to.
  • I know that there are days that nothing happens or have nothing to say, so for this journal you must have at least 20 days worth of stuff in it and it must be in chronological order.
  • You have free creative license on how you want the inside to be. I am one of those people that do not write pages of stuff, sometimes I draw pictures, other times I make a “mood” music playlist, sometimes I glue receipts of stuff I bought that day, a photograph, etc. Be creative.

Depending on how well this goes, I may make this a two part swap. The 2nd part could be that after your partner gets your journal, they fill out pages in the back and send it back to you. That way you get your journal back and you get an inside look at the life of the person that you sent to. This 2nd part will not be a month of journaling. It will be a week or two. Let me know in the comments section if this is something you guys would like to do and I will make a 2nd swap after this one is done.

  • The swap is open to everyone in this group that is in the US. Sorry my international friends, but I want to keep postage as low as possible. If someone feels like doing an international version, feel free to do so.
  • Please only sign up if you are going to do it.
  • Make something that you would like to receive.
  • This is an OPEN theme journal, if you are one of those that will be easily offended or there are certain topics you do not want to read about, etc. then do not join.
  • But on the other hand, NO homophobic, transphobic, sexist, racist, or ableist speech/writing is allowed.

We are all adults so please act like one. If you have any questions you can send me a message or write it in the comments section and I will respond.

Last but not least have FUN.

I do not know where I got the picture I have on the swap, I found it a while ago and had it in my inspiration folder.

A small note: above I stated "NO homophobic, transphobic, sexist, racist, or ableist speech/writing is allowed." while that still holds very true, you are allowed to write about your personal experience with the topic. What I do not want is someone saying something derogatory about another person. i.e someone writing that they hate purple people and saying mean things about them.
