The Christian Homestead Journal (September)

Let's start our Christian Homestead Journal. I am new to journal swaps, so if you have any questions please ask.

For each swap, we will have 3 partners. We will send at least 4 pages to our partners with 4 different themes. Of course, you may send more if you wish. Everyone should use 8.5 x 11 inches size paper. It is the size of standard printer paper.Do not send standard notebook paper. We will be using card stock for our pages. This will make our journals nicer. Please decorate your pages a little. This can mean adding a few doodles or stickers. Just a dab of decoration, so we are not just getting a plain typed or written sheet of paper. Let's make something pretty for our journals. Also, pages are to be mailed in a large envelope. Pages are not to be folded.

I will change the themes each month, so we will have a variety in our journals. I will probably do a recipe theme and a list each month, but will add a variety of other things. Some things will be seasonal.

This month our 4 themes (pages) will be:

• Since this is our first swap, our first theme will be an introduction page. Be creative with this and do whatever you feel like doing. Tell about yourself in any way you wish. Your only limitation is your own imagination! Include a bit about you, your family, your crafts, animals, homestead... This doesn't have to be a written page, although it can be. It could be a list or pictures... Tell us about you in any way you wish.

• 2 of your favorite fall recipes & a paragraph or more about fall. What you write about fall is completely up to you (memories, what you like about it, a story...).

• 2 of your favorite canning recipes

• a list of your favorite Christian movies (must include at least 10 movies)

I am giving three weeks from the sign up date for this swap. All the items are sender's choice, so you may start on it now if you wish. Let's have fun and make a very special journal for our Christian homesteads.

This is a type 3 swap because it is time-intensive.
