Journal Pen Pals

This swap is for dedicated ladies who love journaling but also pen palling. It is a great way to indulge both of your interests! You need to purchase a journal...your choice of course, but please make sure there are at least 100 pages in it. You must make sure that on the first page of the journal you include the name of the swap, your swapbot name, your postal mailing address and the date you start it. On the first few pages of the journal, introduce yourself to your partner. Tell them all about your life, your job, your studies, your interests, your family and everyday things. The purpose of this journal is to get to know each other and feel comfortable writing back and forth. Please make sure your first letter inside the journal is at least 6 to 10 pages long. It can be longer of course! Decorate the pages as you like with things that reflect who you are and your likes. You can add scarecrows and pumpkins for the upcoming fall season or anything that looks inviting and welcoming! After you have finished your first introductory letter, place the journal in an envelope and mail it to your partner. She will then start her letter right after yours. She will write her own introductory letter and send it back to you. The idea behind this is to keep the journal going back and forth. You will rate your partner on the first round, but hopefully the both of you will continue writing back and forth in the journal for years to come. When you reach the end of one journal, you can continue in another or start using paper. Again..this is about making a commitment and forming a lifelong friendship. Only those who have this intention need apply! I like the idea of the journal because as you write each other over time, you can add family photos and make it so personal!
