I have been hosting junk journal swaps for years on Swap-bot and I really love them! I do it a little differently because you don't actually mail anything. You create your layout and just email a photo of the finished page to your partner(s). It is a fun way to get support and encouragement from others and still hold on to your creations.

If this sounds like a swap you may want to do repeatedly, get a TN (traveler's notebook) or art journal. Something with at least 20 pages. Then each round you need to read over everything listed below so that you can gather all 5 of the pieces and then have fun creating. The Bonus item may be switched out for something you can't find or do not care to use.

For round 11 here is the list:

a foreign language

something cold

a poem

buttons (real, drawn, or stamped)

a shade of purple

• Bonus: Deer/Reindeer/Moose/Elk

Rate your partners a 5 for effort. Even if they didn't get everything onto their page. This swap is meant to be fun and get us to use our craft stash!

Because there is a craft component to this swap I am categorizing it as a Type 3 swap
