Description:

The idea of this swap is to reveal your life and yourself to your partner in list form.

There are 55 lists below, and you need to choose 50 of these to fill a small journal.

I've included the lists as many people get stuck half way through and it can be disappointing to receive a list journal that details 10 make up or washing powder brands. These should be lists about you and your life.

If you have a list that you would like to include that reveals more about you, that is not below, feel free to substitute.

You can interpret the list titles any way you choose.

So, onto the journal. I've done a little internet research and Field Notes Memo books have 48 pages, so you could use one of these and attach extra lists to inside front and back covers. Moleskine pocket cahiers have 64 pages (feel free to write more lists, 50 is the minimum requirement). Both available at Amazon and on eBay.

You don't have to use these journals, you can use any of your choice, just be aware a 200 page large composition book will be heavier to post and this is an international swap. And no-one likes to receive a book that is only a quarter full. The journals above are recommended as they are small and cheaper to post. You can make your own if you prefer.

Lists must be handwritten with legible handwriting. You don't have to write one word answers, a fold-out page extension looks great if you have more to say.

You can join this swap if you have completed 10 Type 3 swaps and no recent 3's or 1's. Flaking is not an option!

I don't know why but 54 and 55 are not appearing yet they are there when I edit the swap. No. 54 is Things I'd never do. No. 55 is Ways I treat myself.

What is "eligible" handwriting? I was told by someone she couldn't read my handwriting because she only reads printing and I had used cursive.

rmrascal 03/24/2013 #

will everyone be writing in english

secretterrabite 03/24/2013 #

Handwriting just needs to be readable. Yes, it must be in English.

grammag 03/25/2013 #

I think the word should be legible, not eligible. :) I have a really cute little journal I got in a swap that has exactly 25 pages. If I use both sides of each page, can I use it?

secretterrabite 03/26/2013 #

LOL. I thought it didn't look right. Brain freeze. Any journal is great if you can get the 50 lists in :-)

grammag 03/29/2013 #

Great! I'm in!

secretterrabite 03/30/2013 #

Happy to have you all, hope you have a great swap :-) Any issues let me know.

The missing 2 swaps are hidden in the text, I keep trying to change it but it won't produce the list properly. If you look at no. 12, there are 2 on that line, and also no 37. However don't feel pressured to stick to the list 100% if some of the lists don't apply to you.
