Description:

This swap has been edited to extend the deadine to send. The send by date is now September 30th.

I've always had an interest in the mundane life of others. This swap is for all of us who have a need to peek into other's daily routines and wonder what it would be like to live their life. I find this especially fascinating when one's life is so very different than mine.

So here is what we will do. We will record our daily schedule for one day with at LEAST 10 photos. For each photo, please elaborate as to what the photo contains and include what was going on that the viewer cannot see (such as what was going through your mind at the time - or maybe what was happening just out of view, etc.). I only ask that your partner not have to turn over the photo to read about it (it can ruin the continuity of your story). You must send this through the mail in some kind of journal format. You can handmake the journal, buy it or even create the pages on your computer and put them together in a book with a short biography and your daily schedule. You can elaborate and decorate as much as you would like (just don't start making things up :)

An introduction about yourself is a must. Please tell us a little bit about you before jumping into your daily life. A photo of yourself would be nice, but not necessary :) Some people prefer a little bit of anonymity.

Okay I gave some loose parameters - here are the NOTS. Do not send photos that contain nudity, or anyone in a compromising position. Nothing gross, disgusting, or just generally unpleasant - use your common sense. This includes following the laws of your country, state or providence, etc. So do not include any illegal activities.

Newbies are welcome with well filled out profiles. No unexplained 1's or 3's. If I feel that someone would be a questionable swap partner I will eliminate you from the swap. If you need to, you may private message me about your ratings.

For those who would be interested in an electronic version, check out my other "day in my life" swap.

Please check back before the swap begins as this content may be edited between now and swap partner assignment. There is plenty of time to get working on this now, if you wish.

@sleepy1 The electronic version has come and gone :(

I don't plan to repeat it at this time. Feel free to take the idea and make your own electronic version.

I would love to join this swap! I'm watching for now because I'm not sure if one week is a long enough turnover time for me to alter the journal, document my life, and get the photos printed. Great idea, though!
