Description:
This is the Second round for this swap. Feel free to join even if you didn't take part in the first round. For this round you will fill in recipes in the journal that you received in the first round. The reason I chose this is because they have nice big pages to write on, and if all the journals are the same the shipping costs will be similar for everyone. Plus there is so much you can do with them as far as altering or decorating if you chose. I am not very crafty and understand if there isn't much you are able to do to the journal. On the first page write your name and the swap name and in the back write your address and a note to return the journal home to you when it is full. This will be a monthly swap. What you will do is find a recipe, anything at all, from something you make all the time to something you would love to try. Whatever you can think of. Write one recipe in the book with your name and swap name. Include a short little letter to your partner saying why you chose that recipe on a separate sheet of paper, and then mail off to your partner. Next month in a separate swap you will take that journal you received and write a recipe and pass it on. We will keep going as long as there is interest. Please only put in realistic and usable recipe's, the point is for people to find cool new recipes to try out. The fine print: Anyone is welcome to join who has a well filled out profile, newbies included with at least 5 mailed swaps completed. If you have 1's or 3's please make sure that they are explained somewhere in your profile or PM me and explain. Please don't flake, but if it does happen, I will angel. You will have until April 1st to sign up, and then a month to send. If there are any questions, please ask.

"For this round you will fill in recipes in the journal that you received in the first round."

For anyone who didn't do the first round, could you please provide the journal info?

I think you mean "...until May 23 to sign up.."

oh i don't think she copy and pasted the whole thing about the journals. She said to use a composition notebook.

I am in the same predicament! Whoever gets me for a partner please send me a message so I can send you my current address! I'm moving in the next few weeks but not sure exactly when :(

I never received the book from the first in this series. So mine will probably go out late seeing as i have to go buy and decorate another one.

Had i known that I would not be receiving a comp notebook, i wouldn't have signed up. The journal i received (from the coordinator of the swap) was twice the weight of a comp notebook which means twice the shipping. i budget myself a certain amount for shipping swap bot items and this will totally put me over. I was really excited about this swap, but it has just been a headache. It was over a month late, and then didn't even meet the guidelines of the swap... and my partner was the coordinator... I was already signed up for the second one, but it will be the last one i do.

@Trippy I know the first two rounds of this swap were a mess and I deeply apologize for that. i think we are on the right track now and I would like to encourage you to stay in future rounds of the swap. The journals are starting to move around now and i think it will be alot of fun. I am on track again, i sent you tw journals out in the mail yesterday and i would hate to see the both die there. Please consider staying in, it will be far less of a mess in the future i promise...
