Description:

Warning: This is a bubble envie, time & effort swap! But I've wanted to host this for the longest time so please indulge me!

Details:

  • 1 partner, US only
  • 1 altered journal - min size is 5x7 inches, max size is 8 1/2 x 11
  • Acceptable journal materials - spiral bound notebook, regular notebook, three ring binder, handmade book that is stitched or seamed
  • Journal must have at least 30 DECORATED sheets of paper with no blank pages in between. Blank pages can be left at the back of the book
  • That means 60 decorated fronts and backs of pages! Recipes can run over pages - 1-2-3 pages/recipe is acceptable but please ensure that there is some decoration on the pages with the recipes - not just the text of the recipe (think borders, washi, ribbon, stickers).
  • The front cover of the journal must be decorated and MUST INCLUDE the word "Recipes" somewhere on the front.
  • Please put your name and the swap name and date on the inside front cover
  • Journal must contain a minimum of 10 different recipes - the recipes can be handwritten directly in the journal, put on recipe card and attached to the journal, cut & paste from a magazine or cookbook. The only requirement is that the recipe be legible and complete and one you deem tried and true based on your experience.

NOTE: Please list any food allergies, preferences (no meat, vegetarian, vegan) in your profile so your sender can accommodate your eating & cooking preferences. This is mostly a senders choice swap, but senders must make a good faith effort in including recipes that their partner will use and enjoy.

If you have any questions, please reach out directly to your partner for food preferences, cooking preferences and list them below as well.

  • How to decorate the pages? That's up to you but each page, including the recipe pages must be completely decorated - draw, doodle, decoupage, scrap, tags, ribbons, buttons, cut outs, stickers, all good. The decor should relate somewhat to food, cooking, wine, herbs, garden, kitchen, etc - all foodie related!

  • This journal will end up being pretty chunky is my guess and will require a large bubble envie to mail. Please carefully protect your piece of artwork when you send it - either well wrapped in tissue or bubble wrap or with stiff inserts inside a padded envelope.

  • Please keep the tracking number when you mail this - it'd be a shame if something this nice got lost in the mail.

  • Please take several pictures and email them to me and I'll post them up when the swap concludes.

Any questions, please pm me. This is a time intensive swap so please only commit if you have the time and energy to take this on!

I've given 7 weeks between signup and send by - let me know if you think this will take more time and I can adjust the time by another week and make it a full 2 months.

As always, I will angel for anyone who flakes once they have been rated a 1.

I have no allergies and no dietary restrictions - I like slow cooker or insta pot recipes (except for beef stew, chili and chicken soup which I have a ton of recipes for!) I love to bake and try new things!

No food allergies, we are not big fans of mushrooms at our house. I am open to any recipes you would like to share.

The only food allergies are to kiwi and calories ;) I could really use ideas for side dishes, fresh fruit, and something different to do with chicken (getting tired of the same ol things). We don't cook fish/seafood at home. This should be fun!

Pretty excited for this swap!

I am lactose intolerant BUT I am looking forward to a variety of recipes as I am currently housing my two grandchildren (8 and 6 little boys.) They are not tooooo into eating the fish, chili and big meals that I make for the adults..........

Thanks for swapping!

No allergies here. I would like mostly vegetarian recipes without tofu and mushrooms if possible. You can add in chicken recipes too for the non-vegetarians in my house. Thanks !

No allergies...no dislikes...I like to try new things(at least once):)
