INTERNATIONAL SWAP

My new favorite craft for the week is altering composition notebooks!

The rules are pretty basic: Get yourself a comp. notebook (I know walmart sells them for $.50) The standard large compostition notebook measures 7 1/2 by 9 3/4 inches. Embellish it - take into consideration your partners profile as notebooks/journals can be a pretty personal thing for some people. If you would like to you may leave a note below letting your potential partners know what you would be using your notebook for so they can draw inspiration from that.

Please FULLY embellish the notebook - back, front and inside covers.

Newbies are welcome with completed profiles.

Most of all - remember to have fun!!

Any questions - please contact me

Sorry I forgot to specify the size.

Your swap should be a standard sized (7 1/2 x 9 3/4 in.) composition notebook - the kind with a hard front and back cover. Enjoy!

I'd like to use my composition book for writing songs. My previous songwriting book is filled up. These songs would be a continuation of my typical material (I refer to it as "literary neo-trad") taking the magical and mysterious in ancient ballads (animal transformations, ghosts, faery abductions and the like). For more info on that,(and I have nothing for sale so this is not an ad) see my page http://www.myspace.com/murderchangesghosts

I meant "taking the magical and mysterious in ancient ballads...as a point of departure."

Michelle, I see that you will be sending an altered book to me. I would like anything you care to send. Just a note: my husband and I will be visiting Bermuda, Liverpool, Scotland, and Ireland next summer. Would be nice to keep a journal. But no pressure. I'm very flexible.

PegMac, it looks like you've got me. I read your profile and we have similar interests. I was born in San Francisco and raised in the Bay Area. I left my heart in San Francisco when I moved here to the Pacific Northwest. If there is any way you could remind me of my home town when I look at the comp book I would be eternally grateful.

Kassandra, I've got you. Girly, pink, sparkly and cute is on its way on the cover of a comp book. What fun this is!

Elizabeth- How would you feel about a baby boy themed journal? Let me know if there's something else you'd prefer! :)

ScullyB 08/ 1/2007 #

Hi Everyone,

I'm so glad to see you all sharing ideas for what you would like for your book. I have not peeked to see who is sending to me but I just wanted to let them know that I am going through a bit of a transformational period in my life right now so something along those lines would be great. And also...I am usually a purple person but lately I have been drawn more to blues especially cobalt.

Happy Swapping Everyone!!

Elizabeth- I already started it so I hope the baby boy theme is ok! :)

Cheryl - San Francisco it is! How do I see who has me?

I'm gonna go create!

Hugs, Peg

Betsy G! how exciting, sounds like a trip of a lifetime. I just happen to love travel (haven't done a ton but did spend time in England and lots of states in our country. I also do my best creative work with a bit of pressure, and just think if you like the journal it will get to travel with you!
