Description:

I have an addiction to journaling and I love writing long letters, I am sure I'm not the only one.

In this swap I want to combine the both. You can use a composition book or regular journal or even a spiral notebook (any type of blank book, really) that has at least 80 pages. In it you'll basically be writing a really long letter in the form of an everyday journal. You can also include things like recipes, newspaper clippings, pictures, postcards etc. I encourage questions in the journal too, it's definitely an encouragement for someone to write back whether in a journal of their own or a long letter.

You'll have one month after the end date to complete your journal and send it out. Decorating the journal, while nice, is not the main focus of this swap, so please don't rate down for decorations or lack thereof.

I will be going through profiles of those that join before I assign partners. I understand that some have had issues in the past but are good swappers. If I have questions about your rating I will ask. If you have concerns please feel free to pm me.

1 subject spiral bound notebooks only have 70 pages so they wouldnt work for this swap. Which is sad because I bought some REALLY cute ones at Walmart for.10 each :) I have other cute journals though!!! Love to journal pal!!

So are we trying to fill the journal? Or only some and then our partner will keep it for a while and send it back? And so on.. Thanks!

You would fill it and send it to them. While I do like the idea of sharing back and forth my issue is that only one person gets to keep it at the end so only one person has a keepsake (not sure that's the word I'm looking for).

Got it. Thanks.

I am half through with mine this is a lot of fun thanks for letting me join :)

:-) I'm enjoying it a lot, too, I just think next time I might make it a little longer (just because it's so many pages, and because I forget that the beginning and ends of the month can be a rather tight time for sending out larger swaps)
