Description:

I love to journal! Obviously, you do too! But I sometimes get discouraged when all the swaps are for those wonderfully talented art-journalers.

I call myself a text-journaler. 98% of my journals are filled with words with the occassional taped-in movie ticket or Wal-Mart receipt.

If this sounds just a little bit like you, then you will love this swap!

For this swap, you will create one page for two partners. It can be the same page duplicated, or a different page for each partner. The page should represent how you journal in some way. Then we will have a small piece of two other journals to add to our journals!

  • Ideas: just your basic text-entry page, a page where you write in different colors, a page with a few magazine clippings and some text, write in a creative way, anything you want. Just please make sure it is something you would be happy to receive

This is not to say you can't send your partner an art journal page, but that is not an expectation for this swap. This is a swap for those of us who love to journal, but mainly express ourselves in words.

When you send, it is up to you if you fold or not. Just make sure that your pages get to your partners in such a way that they can still be enjoyed.

I set the rating at 4.8. I will be reviewing those with imperfect scores because I don't want anyone to get disappointed. As has come the swap-bot cliche: Do not join this swap if you do not intend to follow through.

The Breakdown:

  • Create a not-an-artist journal page for 2 partners

  • TWO partners (up for debate if enough people would like only 1)

  • Remember your name and swap name when you send

This should be really fun!

I like the idea of a page. It will be cool to build a journal with many of these pages. (projecting future swaps) Should there be a specific size page?

Not too tiny, let's be reasonable. I don't like to dictate too much when it comes to size and such. :)

If you would join if the partner was changed to one, comment here and I'll change it. Anything to get this swap going.

Or...I have grossly misjudged the journaling world and I am an outcast as I do not art journal! ;)

two partners would be fine with me, it's only one page each! And I am more of a writer!

We'll all get a page from each other! How neat!
