Description:

You will fill in 10 pages of a journal and send it to your partner.

The first page should include an introduction and a picture. It should include your name and swap-bot id, and address. At least two pages should include things about where you live and who you are. What is the weather like, ect. You could include things like brochures, postcards, pictures or anything else about where you live. The rest of the pages should be journal entries of whatever you would like, like what you did, where you went, anything going on in your life, whatever you would like try not to just write on each page but include other "embellishments" like recipes that are commonly served for your family, pictures of things you did, do an art page, anything else you would like to add. Try to be creative and fill the pages fully. Feel free to make envelopes/folders on the pages to include things. For this swap since it's the first in the series you will need to decorate a journal. A composition book will do fine but you could make one from scratch if you wish just make sure it has around 100 pages in it since I would like to have about 10 different people journal in one book. Make sure to decorate it nicely not just slap stickers or a cover on it. You will be the one receiving your own journal back so you can spend as much or little time as you want but many people will be seeing your work.

Since this is a non-profile based swap you can start on it right away.

This swap is a little time intensive but is a very inexpensive swap. I can get composition books for 40 cents near me right now and you can decorate it with what you have in your supplies. If you use media mail to send your journal it is much cheaper.

For the Traveling Journal #2 you will fill in 10 pages in the journal you have received and you then send it to your next partner for the next swap. When you fill a journal with it's last entries send it back to it's owner and they get to keep it. Then they will start a new journal and keep going :)

This is the second part the the Journal Swap that got cancelled. I am giving everyone added time to resign up and since I'm sure everyone is going to be busy for the holidays I've made the sign up time in January.

If you did not participate in the first round feel free to sign up and make a journal of your own. If you participated in the first round and don't want to participate in this round you may contact me and I will arrange to have that journal sent to someone who wants to participate. Remember the journals we have aren't ours and their owners would like to receive them back.

Happy Swapping and I will be checking profiles both for this swap and within the group. :o)

Yes sorry I haven't been online as much with the holidays and moving back to Michigan from Mississippi. I wanted to repost this since I know I'm a little concerned about my journal being out for so long. It makes me nervous that one might get lost so I figured I would repost it.

If there are any questions or concerns my email is shellylynn816@yahoo.com that goes to my phone so if I don't reply on swap-bot that is the best way to get a hold of me.
