Description:

This is the sixith swap in my series of Shared journal swaps.

IF YOU TOOK PLACE IN THE FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH OR FIFTH ROUND: you have received a journal with a bio, a journal entry, and a journal prompt. Your task now is to answer that journal prompt, write a bio about yourself, and a journal entry to include a response to what your partner wrote, and then end with a journal prompt for the next person to answer, and then send your journal off to your partner.

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST ROUND: Please feel free to join even if you didn't take part from the start. What you will do is get a journal, notebook, comp book, anything with at least 80 pages and on the front cover, write what the journal is for and who you are, on the back page write your name and address and where to send the journal home when it is full. Then you will write a bio about yourself (about a page or so) and then one journal entry about your day, your self, your thoughts, life, the world, whatever comes to mind that you want to write about. On the next page you will then write one journal prompt for your partner to answer. Thats it, send it off to your partner!

You will have one month to send out your journal.

Now the fine print: I will check profiles carefully, if you look fishy, and offer no explanation, i will ban. If you are new, have a VERY well filled out profile and at least 5 mail swaps completed.

I hope this all makes sense, and please feel free to ask any questions.

new this round::: If you have taken part in the previous rounds, please write in the comment section who's journal you currently have and will be passing along, that way we can make sure that our own journals are still out there.

Honeyblossom - oops.

duckduckgoose 07/11/2011 #

I still haven't received yet :( I'm getting worried! If I get flaked on I suppose I could start another journal :)

Jesshens1125 07/12/2011 #

If you get flaked on please let me know, i would be happy to angle, but I also want to know who it is that is flaking so i dont allow them in future rounds

Reallusionista 07/12/2011 #

I am nervous about joining; I have recieved a journal, but the person I sent mine to has not rated and has not even logged in since June 30th. I am worried I won't be getting it back!!

alybr 07/13/2011 #

I have not received the round 5 journal yet but will post as soon as I get it. I also am waiting to sign up until after I receive it because I don't want to join if I don't receive a journal to send. Wondering if my journal is out there somewhere. Please post if you've got it. Thanks.

Jesshens1125 07/13/2011 #

Remember if you get flaked on, please let me know. I am more than willing to angle.

Reallusionista 07/13/2011 #

The journal I have now says it belongs to Lillian Metty

terrip 07/14/2011 #

I have Shawna Wallaces journal.

gfigure1956 07/14/2011 #

I have not received mine yet and mine should be going out tomorrow. Will comment again when I receive.

tamtamlee 07/14/2011 #

I haven't received mine yet from round 5....If I get flaked on Lorijean journal will be going back out{I received hers Late from round 3). I made a new one so I have two out there somewhere..

Jjean 07/16/2011 #

I hope no one else can join these swaps as, it seems the journals are getting mixed up and no one has claimed to have mine & I have been in swap since it first started?

tamtamlee 07/17/2011 #

@ Jjean noone has claimed to have mine either and I also have been in the swap since the first. I even have two going around cause I started one cause one was late getting to me.

rottifan4 07/17/2011 #

I can't believe I missed out on round 6. I waited too long. I will get in on the next one.

JenL 07/18/2011 #

I didn't originally receive a journal from the 5th, but had Jesshens angel me a journal. Thanks!!

JenL 07/18/2011 #

OOPS, I meant to say she angeled from the 4th. Sorry!

HeidiJean 07/20/2011 #

I have a few quick questions that may be silly. I'm new to journal swaps (but extremely excited about them!), and I was just wondering... if I get a journal that I'd be the last person to enter, I would send it home, and then create a new journal to send to my partner, correct? I plan on participating in many rounds, by the way. However, if for whatever reason, after 3 rounds I decide not to join anymore, do I contact the coordinator about what to do with the journal I have? or is this one of thoes things that you continually have to swap? And what if we get a journal we already wrote in, follow the steps and just make another entry?

Sorry for the long list, but I just want to make sure I get everything 100% right, since I saw some members are nervous about new swappers.

BluGinhm 07/26/2011 #

I have Lisa Cottrell's journal.

tamtamlee 07/26/2011 #

I have received Barbara Brandt {sleepingrover2010} journal

Flutterflies22 07/29/2011 #

I'm with some of the others. No one has claimed my journal and I'm really thinking about finishing this round and sending it back to the owner. It's not really fair that I'm putting time into others' journals and mine's not getting passed around. If someone has mine please let me know and it you have an idea who might have it message me please so I can try to track it down before the next round so I know weather or not to join!

Jjean 07/30/2011 #

I agree Flutterflies22. No one still claims to have mine, guess it will not return to me.....I am still waiting on the Journal from the 5th swap to arrive.....

gfigure1956 08/ 1/2011 #

I received Tammy Black's journal.

gfigure1956 08/ 1/2011 #

I received Tammy Black's journal.

Jjean 08/ 5/2011 #

I still do not have the Journal from the 5th swap.........??? what do I do???......

Jjean 08/ 6/2011 #

I sent Ms. Lillian Metty's journal from Swap # 4 but I have never received a Journal from CookiePN for Swap #5..........so have not mailed anything for Swap #6.....???

Flutterflies22 08/10/2011 #

I have Jan Rader's journal that I will be sending out for round #5. If someone gets flaked on this round let me know and I will send you the journal I receive from this round. I think this will be my last :(

Flutterflies22 08/10/2011 #

Sorry I ment roun #6 :)

Jjean 08/10/2011 #

I have the journal for Swap #6 and will be sending it out Friday.......things are getting better...<< :)

LilyM 08/15/2011 #

Why do so many wait until the last day to mail these out. Cone on folks....you have a whole month and to me a couple of weeks is more than enough to hang on to one. I sent out my #5 to my # 6 partner weeks ago and am at the last day waiting for my # 6 when #7 will be assigned in another day. This makes it really confusing and then we don't want to sign up for the next one if we haven't gotten the one for the last month yet.

Flutterflies22 08/16/2011 #

I was thinking there should be a week between swaps. The deadline is there for a reason. If the creator wanted you to send the swaps earlier she would make the deadline earlier. Just my feelings.
