Description:
For this swap you will have to send one partner a little teeny tiny journal, about 1.5 inch by one 1.5 inch (or as small as you can go) with at least 32 front and back pages (thats18 pages) in it. Try to make is special by decorating it and/or using a clasp or string to keep it closed. You can decorate some of the pages to make it super special. Try to put extra effort into picking out a sturdy material for the cover such as wood, hard paper or cardstock, linoleum, leather (I detest leather...but its so nice when it comes to journals.), fake leather, or anuther durable substance. The tiny journal must either... -be on a necklace. -be in a cute matchbox. -be in a cute whimsy jar. -be in a decorated gift box. -or be in or on something cute. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to join. It sounds hard but its really not. Im a noob at this too.

This sounds fantastic, but how the heck to i bind together 30+ pages that small? Is there a tutorial on this, cos I'd love to participate!! Also is the journal to be profile specific, what sort of things am i to put in it? Please advise...

And we only have 6 days to make it? :|

This is even smaller then the matchbox zine I was in and THAT was hard. Do you have a picture of one? And what should we include? I can do inchies [I like em] but it would be a book of pics. Just curious. And very challenging :)

So is it 30 individual pages or like 15 with front/back?

I am interested but need a few more details.

It sounds hard- but it really isnt i promise. look, i changed it to 1.5 inches. That i guess seems more reasonable. Ill put up a picture soon of one i made as a practice that turned out pretty cool.

SkippyMom 05/22/2009 #

Thanks for adding a lil' bit! :)

Ack! This is so cute, but just really not enough time to plan and execute. That's only 10 days for me. If you extend it then I could join.

CraftDiva4 05/26/2009 #

I tried it out this weekend, it was so much fun...count me in!

djmom11 05/26/2009 #

If you could extend the due date, I would love to join this, but need more time to make it

djmom11 05/26/2009 #

Cool - thanks for extending the date. I'm in!

CroLaneyL 05/27/2009 #

I think I can do this, lol. I looked at the sites and I think I may get myself hooked to making them :O)

principeta 05/29/2009 #

Are the pages empty or full?Sorry =o) .

revolutionoise 05/29/2009 #

By full im guessing you mean are you supposed to draw on them? Its up to you. If you want to decorate a couple or all of the pages for your partner that would be very cool :]
