Description:

I love to journal, and I love to doodle, collect random pictures, articles, recipes or other fun stuff.

For this journal swap, we will do all of the above. You will fill your journal with whatever strikes your fancy. Take a composition notebook (9.75in x 7.5in journal size) and fill it up completely from front to back. Decorate the cover in some way so it is not plain.

I'm going to give 2 months to complete it and feel free to start when you join the swap. PM or comment with any questions.

Enjoy!

Missy

Okay, I've signed up. BUT --- I have a question. Can I use the 80-page composition notebook or is this for a 100-page comp book?

spicemom 08/ 6/2016 #

Do you write something for each day like what your day was like

jandmterry 08/ 6/2016 #

@grandmaroro Yes, you can use a 80 page Comp. notebook. @spicemom You can write about your day if you want to. You will journal and fill the pages with whatever you want. The one I did a few years ago, was a mix of journaling my day and other things that I liked and wanted to add.

spicemom 08/ 6/2016 #

Oh I forgot do we journal everyday

jandmterry 08/ 6/2016 #

You don't have to journal everyday. You just have to fill up all the pages in the book by the swap date.

bluecrayons 08/ 6/2016 #

when you say fill up the page does that mean no page showing?

jandmterry 08/ 6/2016 #

@bluecrayons No, just make sure you have something on each page. This can be writing, doodles, recipes, articles, or anything that you find interesting. I sometimes cover pages with magazine pages that I like.

lawchick 08/ 6/2016 #

Is there a size requirement here? I use pocket size journals usually...would that work?

lawchick 08/ 7/2016 #

Thank you! I somehow missed the size in the swap description haha. :)

Wingy 08/ 7/2016 #

I hope that I dont get flaked on. I have gotten flaked on before.

I love these swaps

jandmterry 08/ 7/2016 #

@lawchick you didn't miss it. I added it after you asked. 😊

Missir 08/ 7/2016 #

Do you just fill up a journal, or is there a swap involved?

jandmterry 08/ 7/2016 #

You will fill the journal then send it to your partner.

grandmaroro 08/ 8/2016 #

@jandmterry thanks for adding the measurements for the journal. The 80 page composition book is about 8.5 x 6.75 inches. I will NOT use that size. I will use the larger one as specified. I do love Randomness Journals - thanks for hosting this one

drgngirl 08/ 9/2016 #

I can't find a composition book that is 9.75 x 5. The one I found is 9.75 x 7.5. Is it okay to use that size?

crystalmarie66713 08/10/2016 #

Are we allowed to glue several pages together so there isn't bleeding thru? Like gluing 2-5 pages together ...

bluecrayons 08/11/2016 #

I can't find a composition book that is 9.75 x 5.

jandmterry 08/11/2016 #

@drgngirl That is fine. Use what you can find that is closest to the measurements. @blue crayons-Use a comp. notebook that is close to it. @crystalmarie66713 Yes, you can do that.

seekingjoytoday 08/11/2016 #

I've been working on my journal and I am loving this! Thank you for the swap.

jandmterry 08/11/2016 #

You are welcome! I love these journals.

SherylKay 08/12/2016 #

sorry if the journal is just about us we can start anytime but if we base it on your partners journal we will need to know partners soon

jandmterry 08/12/2016 #

It is just about you and the random stuff you like or think, etc.

thequilterslink 08/16/2016 #

Do we fill both sides of each page¿

jandmterry 08/16/2016 #

Yes, try to fill each side of the page.

Gwenerific 08/17/2016 #

I am happy we have so many options for what to put in it. This makes it so much easier bc that's a lot of pages to fill. I like seeing other ppls daily journaling techniques. I'm choosing a comp book with a pic already on the front so I don't have to decorate it. Thanks for hosting!

LunaMoody 08/17/2016 #

We have to fill the entire page right? This aren't the type of journal that your partner can add to, right?

teresa110 08/17/2016 #

If we can glue pages together what would be the minimum pages required to decorate and send?

jandmterry 08/17/2016 #

This is your journal to decorate. Each page must have something on it. The page doesn't have to be completely covered and your partner is NOT adding to it. I would try not to glue too many pages together. It is fine to glue for thickness but don't glue every other page together. Use your own judgement on the amount.

tarinaaa 08/17/2016 #

Ooh, I think I'd quite like to join in on something like this. Would you consider hosting an international one if this goes well?

damilola 08/18/2016 #

Anyone intersted in a swap with Germany????

amathyst7 08/18/2016 #

❤ Awesome swap idea @jandmterry please host again during the Winter I would love to join this one but Im afraid I wont have the time.

jandmterry 08/19/2016 #

Anyone who wants to set up a international swap has my permission. I can't afford to send a swap this size internationally.

I will host it again in the future.

scrappermama 08/19/2016 #

Sounds fun! So is this composition book going to be used by the recipient? Or is it to be about me personally, then to share? Hope I'm making sense....

ladywolfsong 08/19/2016 #

I so would love to do this but am in the middle of planning a move and am afraid I won't have enough time to fill the book completely...wouldn't want to shortchange anyone. Such a fun idea though, will look for it to be hosted again in future!

jandmterry 08/19/2016 #

@scrappermama It is about you personally and to share.

Artistic 10/14/2016 #

A package went out to my partner yesterday via Media Mail. Enjoy.

aligurl75 10/17/2016 #

Ugh, I am going to be down to the wire on this one!! I am having so much trouble doing RANDOM stuff. I still have 7 pages to fill ..sighhh. I do much better with structured stuff.. lol

shinyserra 10/19/2016 #

I know! I love random stuff but doing 200 pages of random was a lot!! But fun though :)

Wingy 10/21/2016 #

I loved this swap. Mailed it out today. I want to make one for myself. Lol lol

grandmaroro 10/28/2016 #

My journal went out today - I was in contact with my partner. Since I have been working on this journal, I have been diagnosed as legally blind by my eye dr. So, my partner has been very patient with me.
