Description:
I love journals and there is never enough journal swaps out there so here is one for those who are passionate journal creaters like me. For this swap you need to make a minimum of 15 entries about yourself and your day as well as answer the following questions (some are a bit wacky and you can either make up an answer or write an honest one if you dont mind sharing. What is your name and what makes you, you? Who makes up the important people or pets in your life? What makes you happy? What makes you sad? What are you passionate about? How would you describe your neighborhood- whats its good and bad points? Describe your dream house- what would it look like and where would it be? If you could be anyone who would you be? What is a summer memory you have? It makes me blush when? The best book I ever read? Five favourite movies and why? Finish these sentences... I am the one who. . . Yesterday I. . . I believe... The most amazing thing I have ever seen... The day I went to the circus. . . Well doctor its like this... I wish I was there when... I dreamt I was being chased by... If you would like to add photos, pictures, postcards or any other extras all the better! Please make your journals nice and Im giving a lot of time to do this swap so go nuts!! Journals must be approx A5 in size

what are the rating requirements?

Muriel 04/ 2/2009 #

This is on my watchlist but I don't understand the second question.

melmay 04/ 2/2009 #

having one of those days a journal is like a driay right that you do in a notebook etc

kelmaree 04/ 2/2009 #

yes a journal is diary :)

kelmaree 04/ 2/2009 #

and the doctor question relates to a funny experience you had at the doctors if you have never had one you can either state that or make up a story or write a joke; its just a random question that i threw in to get peoples memories going and get the creative energy pumping

kelmaree 04/ 2/2009 #

rating requirements: a 5 is where you have completed all the questions and done a minimum of 15 entries ( these can include dear diary... a poem, favourite song, information about yourself, photos etc. To get a heart you just need to make it extra special e.g. add stickers, pictures, lots of photos or just do plenty of entries. Does that make it clearer :)

mag 04/ 2/2009 #

sorry, i meant requirements to join this swap.
like min rating and are newbies allowed, etc

kelmaree 04/ 2/2009 #

and second question beg your pardon is worded a bit weird it should be who are the most important people or and animals in your life.

kelmaree 04/ 2/2009 #

Newbies will join on a case by case basis; because the sign up date is a month away everyone should be able to fit one swap in before then to get a rating. No one that has a recent no send can join and your rating must be a 4.8 or higher.

I really like this idea, as soon as I have found a nice book I'll start writing. :)

ladyrn 04/ 4/2009 #

Then who do we send the journal to?

kelmaree 04/ 5/2009 #

the partner swap bot allocates for you

This is a really really long time for a swap to last. I think that makes it more likely for flakes....I can't take the chance but cool idea :)

kelmaree 04/ 5/2009 #

the swap is a long time so people have a better chance of making the journal fuller and more creative i will be reminding people when the swap deadline approaches so there should be no flakers

krstawrdtravels....I'm currently hosting a year long journal project and its my second one. The first one went great so I don't think that 5 or so months is really that big of a time. It'll be great to see what everyone does.

I have joined! Can someone please let me know the rough size of A5? Thanks!

kelmaree 04/13/2009 #

A5 is the most common note book size half the size of A4 which is the size of computer printing paper

"here is one for those who are passionate journal creaters like me"

Do we have to make the journal or can we just write in a storebought one? Thanks!

kelmaree 04/18/2009 #

oh yes store bought is perfect as long as it is a nice one and when i send create i meant the inside good journals are personalised beautiful creations. :)

betsylarouge 04/22/2009 #

ok... I'm admittedly a little slow ;-) so A5 is like the size of a book? or like a school notebook? I'm sorry, I'm still confused! :-/

kelmaree 04/23/2009 #

A5 is approx 15cm x 21cm or 8 1/4 inches by 6 inches does that clarify :) if th notebook you use is a little bigger or smaller thats totally okay

reality 11/20/2009 #
