JulieF did this swap last year and I loved it! So . . . For this swap you will have one partner and keep a journal for one summer. You can start before partners are assigned. During this time you will write at least thirty entries (but feel free to write more). Each entry should contain some text. Text could be a story, a poem, a top ten list, a couple paragraphs about your day, a quote you like - whatever you feel like writing. Here's the twist: each entry should also contain an "extra." Extras could include an illustration, a recipe, a collage, a photograph, a song, a little something that you picked up that day (brochure, piece of candy, etc), or whatever else you can come up with. The extras can vary by day, so you could have a song for the first day, a recipe for the second day, and a photograph for the third, etc. Extras can either be glued into the journal (think recipes, photographs, etc) or packed in the package with the journal (think small handmade items, sweets, etc). However, for things that are packed in the package, please note which entry they are for. At least two of the extras need to be higher value. This could be interpreted two ways Γ’β¬β either items that have a higher value money-wise ($3-5 USD) or items that have higher value effort-wise (a handmade item of some sort). Basically the intent of this swap is to create a journal stuffed full of interesting text and goodies. It will be a sort of smash book/ junk journal. You will send the journal to your partner and they will keep it.
The journal itself should be 5x7 inches or larger. Keep in mind International Shipping costs, though. It can be store bought or nicely handmade. As host I reserve the right to ban questionable swappers. You must have at least 10 type 3 swaps to join. | |
