Here it goes and thanks to @raineyday for the little help i decided to do this swap!

*YOU WILL BUY A SMALL JOURNAL (THEY SELL THOSE MINI COMPOSITION BOOKS AT WALMART AND TARGET) IF YOU DECIDE TO HANDMAKE IT MAKE SURE THE FRONT & BACK COVER ARE MADE WITH CARDBOARD OR SOMETHING STRONG!

*PUT ON THE INSIDE COVER (YOUR ADDRESS NAME AND THE WORDS "RETURN TO WHEN FULL" ABOVE YOUR INFORMATION

*DECORATE YOUR MINI JOURNAL

  • YOU WRITE AN INTRODUCTION LETTER INSIDE NOTHING TOOO LONG BUT MORE THAN A COUPLE PAGES...

  • YOU THEN SEND IT TO YOUR PARTNER

  • YOUR PARTNER THEN WRITES YOU BACK WHATEVER THEY WANT TO WRITE, THEN INSTEAD OF SENDING BACK TO YOU THEY SEND IT TO THE NEXT PERSON ON THE LIST WHEN THE LAST PERSON HAS WRITTEN IN IT THEY WILL SEND IT TO YOU AND YOU WILL GET YOUR JOURNAL BACK! WHEN YOU DO RECIEVE YOUR PARTNERS JOURNAL AND YOU WRITE BACK TO PASS ON TO THE NEXT PERSON YOU WILL ONLY HAVE 3-5 DAYS TO WRITE AND PASS IT ON TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE GETS THEIR JOURNAL IN A TIMELY MANNER!

~ im sorry i have to change something around i will be emailing each of you a flight sheet and we will be mailing our journals to each other and filling it up so that when it is returned to you it will be filled with letters from everyone who joined the swap :)

*NEWBIES ARE WELCOME BUT I WILL BE CHECKING ALL PROFILES IF YOU FLAKE YOU WILL GO ON THE FLAKERS LIST AND MAY EVEN BE BANNED FROM FUTURE SWAPS SO PLEASE IF YOU SIGN UP HOLD UP TO YOUR END OF THE BARGIN AND SEND OUT YOUR MINI JOURNAL!! I WILL ALSO BE HOSTING A USA VERSION OF THIS SWAP!

ALL ENJOY! KLEEDAWN :)

Just an idea - we're doing a "round-robin" type thing like this in another swap. Why don't you make the "send-by" date much later and then no one clicks "sent" until the journals have gone all around? You can also make sure everybody in the swap has everyone's address by increasing the number of swap partners. (For example, we have 3 groups of 4 in our RR, so there are 12 partners. When we click on "See the partners you send to", everyone's address appears.) This way, you don't have to e-mail everyone.

Just trying to help. Maybe I should have PM'd you :)

WAAHH.! I want a composition book!! sniff.. sulk..

Gofeen 08/11/2010 #

No, no please keep one partner. @ iLoveMail - sounds so complicated to my frazzled brain! ;>) What are the measurements of the notebook and roughly how many pages, please? I will have to find something similar as I am in U.K. Shouldn't be difficult. There are so many really pretty notebook/journals out there. I just want to be sure I get something similar then I'll join up. I really like this idea!

It is a pity because here in Brasil we do not have a composition book to sell!!!

GrrrMeoww 08/11/2010 #

I got my little notebook at Borders bookstore- you can also buy them at www.paperblanks.com- it's about 3 x 3 1/2 inches, a little more than a half inch thick, and 160 pages...the best part is it has a little little envelope in the back cover to keep all the stamps in from its travels! ;P

I would suggest sending return postage with your notebook, but since we are writing in all the books travelling, it will cost about the same in postage anyway to mail each one onto the next person, versus paying for all the mailings of your own book.

@Gofeen each journal will make its way to you for writing and mailing; you will have as many partners as there are participants, if I am understanding this right, kleedawn?

CHANGED THE SIGN UP DEADLINE!!!!!

kleedawn 08/11/2010 #

lol @ilovemail i agree it was a bit confusing for me with out the help of a friend @browniemommie2005 so i think 1 partner is easier sorry im trying to make this a little easier for everyone the good thing is all your email addresses are at my fingertips so thats not hard for me lol so when i get the flight list made up i will send it to everyone via email ... then you just follow the list you rate the person who sent to you via computer generated partners.. its up to all of us to make sure we do as we are suppose to and make sure everyone gets their journals back so please please please if you cant mail all of them you recieve dont sign up and i dont mean that to sound rude cause i want you all to sign up just remember when you finish writing in one you have to mail it :) thank you all and thank you @Gofeen and @grrmeoww

this is a total different swap from what i first signed up for, the host does not even sound like she knows what she is doing, she should of left things as they were and hosted another swap for this round robin thing, im really not happy with this swap anymore so im going to drop.

sosiejude 08/11/2010 #

sounds more like a circle journal

siouxx05 08/12/2010 #

OH NO.. I bought my book today.. and it seems I have missed the sign-up.. I wonder how that happened....? Grr..

janeengland 08/12/2010 #

because the swap host had brught the sign up too forward, wihout giving much notice.

kleedawn 08/12/2010 #

IM SORRY @SIOUXX05 I HAD TO MOVE IT UP ... I WISH THERE WAS A WAY I CAN STILL PUT YOU IN THE PARTNERS... :(

sewcrazy 08/12/2010 #

my partner is Shippelle, can't wait to get this going, sounds like a lot of fun.

GrrrMeoww 08/12/2010 #

@janeengland everyone makes mistakes, and learns from them. We aren't all perfect to start with, and I'm sure you aren't either. Telling "the host" what she could have done, in the third person, in her own swap comments none the less...how very rude and childish of you. The purpose of this site is to have fun, and cheer each other up. Let's try to remember that, shall we, and give our hostess a break.

GrrrMeoww 08/12/2010 #

My partner is Elfslayer~ mini-journal will be on it's way to Finland for round one. :)

@siouxx If you want to send your journal to me first, I can include it in the same mailer with mine, so it can still make the rounds?

janeengland 08/13/2010 #

escuse me but the first person suggested an idea and you changed all your swap to what she suggested.

Shippelle 08/13/2010 #

my partner is Kleedawn

kleedawn 08/13/2010 #

@GrrrMeoww thank you very much :) im trying my hardest to make this fun and happy :) i really appreciate what you said :) thank you ! :)

Elfslayer 08/25/2010 #

I don't get it. Who is the next person I should send the journal I received?

Brendizzle75 08/27/2010 #

I don't know where to send my journal I received today. If I don't have a next person to send it off to, I am just going to send it back to the original person who sent it.

Brendizzle75 08/27/2010 #

My partner is Elfslayer.

Brendizzle75 08/27/2010 #

I lied.. Lol.. My partner is Sewcrazy

GrrrMeoww 08/28/2010 #

Send each journal you receive to the same person you sent yours to, so it goes around us all in a circle until the original owners all get their own journal back. That way, you only need the one address. Don't worry about a flight sheet, it isn't necessary for this to work. Hope this helps!

GrrrMeoww 09/ 1/2010 #

2 more journals on the way to you @Elfslayer just 2 more to go- this is a cool idea but next time I think I'll stick to a US version- postage to Finland is really not cheap lol

Shippelle 09/24/2010 #

Still awaiting my 1st journal :(
