Description:

I have asked BluGinhm from the original swap to make this swap for the European Region.

This is what you'll do: You will buy a journal, notebook, comp book anything with at least 15-20 sheets (This can be handmade or bought) . On the cover, give your book a title, like “Traveling Art Journal.” Then decorate the front covers (also back if you like) You will write a short biography about yourself (1-2 pages) and include a photo or artful image of yourself. On the next page, you will include an art journal entry of anything you want… (if you are new to art journals, please Google the term "Art Journal" for inspiration). Then you will do the same thing on the next page. On the next page, you will leave a prompt - a journal page inspiration for your partner on what kind of journal entry they should create in the journal. Then send it to your partner. Be sure to include your name and address on the last page, so we know where to send the journal when it gets full. So altogether, you will have added a bio, 2 art journal pages, and an inspirational prompt.

I will be putting a new round out about every 2 months. If that starts to look like it’s just too much time between rounds, I’ll close them in a bit. But I thought in 2 months, everyone will have plenty of time to do something nice in the journal you receive and still get it mailed. I understand that things can happen. Please let your partner know if you’re going to be late sending out this swap.

The second (and oncoming) round will be used to send your received journal and your prompt to the next partner.

This is a European region swap only!! Due to postage costs.

VERY IMPORTANT: ** No recent unexplained 1's or 3's. Profile will be checked. ** Rate your partners when you have received their journal in the mail. This is required! ** I can angel if need be, but since we are adults we can be sure this won't be necessary.

Let's have fun!!

I'm so excited about this swap! How many rounds do you think it will go? Are there to be 20 pages or 20 sheets? I am making my own and would like to know. To me 20 sheets sounds good. Is that too big?

Mariskasl 02/ 4/2013 #

20 sheets. each sheet has a front and a back, i think it will be enough. Than it will probably be around 15 rounds. Or do you think that is to long @Bluegirl

Why has the date changed? I had down that it had to be sent by the 14th. It would be nice if you would let people know when you extend the deadline as some of us are rushing to get it done by the original date. We have no way of knowing the date has changed if you don't tell us.

@secretterrabite I am sorry, there must be gone something wrong. I didn't intend to change the sending date
