Description:

I have permission. Now use a home made or buy one journal.Can be any size, just make sure you have writing space and decorating space and thinking space. I found one that's 5x7. As you do your entries add things if you want--found things, made things, whatever. Here's the list to use daily. You may modify the order, but introduce yourself first.

1) Introduce yourself

2) tell about a relative, living or dead, that's interesting

3) What's your favorite color and why?

4) Include a receipt that shows food prices and write about it

5) Favorite childhood memory

6) Favorite food

7) Dumbest, silliest thing that happened today

8) What is the first thing you pack in your suitcase? Why?

9) What country would you want to visit? How long would you want to stay?

10) Cut words/letters from a magazine. Write a message with them.

11) Where do you keep your swap/swapped stuff?

12) Write 5 things that you could live without

13) Who is the one person in your life that made you feel welcomed? Tell how they did it.

14) Write about something that you've made.

15) What is the weather like today?

16) What did you do with the ugliest/most useless gift you ever received?

17) In ten years where will you be?

18) Take a picture of your mode of transportation. Tell about it!

19) If you could trade places with anyone in the world, who would it be and why?

20) Fill a page with your favorite word

21)Use a different writing instrument

22) Do you play an instrument? Tell about it!

23) If you could spend a day eating or cooking, which would it be? What would it be-dinner? dessert? fish? etc.

24)What is the one thing that you would want people to remember about you?

25) FACEBOOK! What do you think?

26) Doodle a page of nothing but your initials

27) If you could take classes for anything, what would it be?

28) Write an invitation to some event, real or imagined, to your partner.

Hellotheremary 02/11/2010 #

Hi, I'm just wondering if there are any requirements to sign up?

charmpam 02/12/2010 #

i already started doing it a few days ago.. its my fave swap i am in right now and i really hope my partner will like it.. :P

knitmom7 02/12/2010 #

no, not really! Sometimes newbies are the best because they need the 5s. Don't we all! So if you want to write, sign up!

knitmom7 02/12/2010 #

Thanks, charmpam! I'm hoping that mine is that way too.

Hellotheremary 02/23/2010 #

I'm so excited to be assigned partners! My journal is really coming along! I'm already adding some extra things, but I'm assuming that's alright?

Hellotheremary 02/23/2010 #

Duh, I just read the description again and it even says we can add extra. Sorry! But still! I can't wait!

knitmom7 02/23/2010 #

It's great to add extras always. You can send these media mail, too! I'm excited.!!!!!!!

Passion 02/24/2010 #

I just finished my journal! Haha, now I just have to wait until we have partners.

Merimax 02/25/2010 #

Does this have to be hand-written, or can it made with print-outs & cut-outs of our entries and do it as a collage glued in a journal?

knitmom7 02/25/2010 #

Always Introduce yourself in your own hand! But the rest is up to you! It'll be fun!!

knitmom7 02/25/2010 #

On second thought, If for any reason you want to use your computer to "write" your journal, it's fine. I don't want anything to stand in the way of getting to know you-not a cast,or stroke, not anything. Thanks for asking!

Annesdatter 02/26/2010 #

Before I sign up for his, I want to make sure I have understood it correctly. We write one entry each day or what? I am just a bit confused.

Passion 02/28/2010 #

It seems that you don't have to write an entry each day, so long as you write a response to all the prompts.
I answered about a quarter of them on the first day I signed up because I was so excited to start.

knitmom7 02/28/2010 #

You're right Passion! Sometimes I just feel like writing! Sometimes I change pens so it isn't so obvious. My secret is out!

Passion 02/28/2010 #

:D Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
If I have a doctor's appointment or a free afternoon, I like to have something to do and this was the perfect thing! (:

mommajenhen 02/28/2010 #
