Description:

Had a few people that missed out on the Spring round, didn't have the time for a Summer round, so I figured why not give Fall a try?

Pretty much the same as the Spring round...

Grab a journal that you will be excited to work in. It should be 4x6 or larger and have at least 80 pages, store bought or homemade. Starting September 23rd and continuing through December 20th take some time out of each day, or every other day, to...jot down your thoughts, make a list, paste in some bits and pieces from your day (receipts, recipes, business cards, magazine/newspaper clippings, pictures, pieces of mail, etc), doodle...whatever your day involved, however you like to record it, include it. Please aim for at least 60 entries, with at least half of them having some kind of extra. Aim to mix the extras up, so we get an actual glimpse into your world.

The boring stuff...USA only. Swappers with a 4.97+ rating and at least 20 type 3 swaps. No 1s or unexplained 3s within the last 6 months. You must be active and have signed in within 3 days of me assigning partners. I will be checking profiles. If you have not met all these requirements or you seem sketch, I will ban you with no explanation. These journals take a lot of time and effort, I'm not taking any chances on someone not following through.

Any questions, comments, concerns? Please message me with them, as I don't check the comment section very often.

I have a question about the extras this time around. What specifically are you considering as "including an extra"? Would that be things like the "receipts, recipes, business cards, etc" that you listed in the description?

I'm asking because I did the spring version and used a lot of postcards for my extras. I collect postcards and use them for mementos and also for gifts for others. Would it be an issue if I was doing that for many of my extras? Or would I need to do something else?

Postcards as extras are great, if they have something to do with your day...like if you visited a theme park and grabbed a postcard from there to add. Anything other than just words about your day would be extra. Try to add an assortment of extras, though...If you find postcards being the only other thing you're adding to your journal, it's time to switch it up with some pictures or recipes or receipts or something. I tend to do a lot of pictures, incoming mail, creative bits I've treated myself to and takeout menus/brochures. My partner did photos, parts of food packages, magazine clippings that she enjoyed and wanted to share, business cards, receipts, etc.

Hope that helps.

We'll be in France for 2+ weeks of this swap so that should be interesting!
