Description:

I love Inspirational quotes. I often find myself in the book store looking at those cute little cards with all the sayings on them, or in journals at the very bottom of each page where you often find something!

You will have 1 partner. Sorry but this is for US only as postage can get very expensive on these once they are full!

You must make a journal, or embellish a notebook, whatever you like! Yhe front and back cover must be embellished at least 3 times! Please make this your best work, somethng you would like to receive in return. The journals should be 4 x 6 or larger please! (I changed the size because some people have asked for a smaller "bedside companion" book).

The book must contain 30 pages with a quote on each page. (You can do more if you like, but the minimum is 30). You must also decorate the page, color it, draw something to go along with the quote, embellish it as you would a scrapbook page, paint a picture, clip something from a magazine, anything at all that you would like to do. You can add charms, ribbon, stickers, you name it go for it! But it must be your best work!

The quote should be typed or written in your very best writing, yes you can even include one of those little quote cards and tape it to your journal page! Please also give credit to the author of the quote somewhere on the page.

You can also send gifts that go along with one or two of your quotes if you like for hearts.

Please be respectful of others and know that not everyone shares your faith or religion. No vulgar language, sexual content or obscentites are allowed either please.

Because I want to see the best work from everyone and know that everyone will receive a journal do not sign up if you have any no-sends or a rating below a 4.0. I wwill check and ban before asigning partners.

The due date is well after the Holidays so you will have plenty of time to get this done and use it as a way to undwind from the holiday season!

Have fun! Any questions, please just ask!

Just a few questions: What do you mean by embellished 3 times?
Can we buy a pretty journal and use it? Should the quote take up the whole page, or should we leave room for the person to do their own journaling as well? I love jouranls with quotes that I can write in.

Welcome everyone! I hope more people will join us! This will be fun!

You can literally do whatever you want with this! I have no problem with leaving room for writing. As long as there is a quote on every page, and it is decorated nicely go for it! The embellished three times was meant to prevent people from just writing things in a plain spiral bound journal. Use an already decorated journal, maybe add some ribbon or some glitter glue to razz it up a bit and I am sure it would be great! Just do something that you would like to receive yourself!

Hi Everyone!

Is everyone done with the Holiday rush now? LOL!!

I was just wondering about something. The journal I bought to use for this is an actual journal with what looks like 100 pages or so in it...Is it alright if I skip a few pages between each quote to give my partner space to write? If not, I can put more quotes to fill up the 30 pages.

I love this idea!

If it's possible, I'd prefer my book not to have any religious quotes - at least nothing Christian.

Quotes along the lines of Ghandi or Buddha (etc) that promote positive humanity things are always a plus. I also love stuff from Adele Basheer (intrinsiconline).

MissPrincess 12/30/2007 #

I think leaving some pages between is fine incase your partner wants to add their own quotes there. If anyone has an objection please state so.

Please be sure to check and see what is written in this area incase your partner wants or doesn't want something for their journal, but also, try to be open and not put too many restrictions.

A journal is en route to my partner via USPS first class mail. Enjoy!

Mar Mar has just messaged me that she is not making her journal that's it! Please be sure you rate her with a no send!
