Description:

I got this idea based on a swap hosted by @AmericanHeiress called 'shared journal experience' one hosted by @draco This is my own little twist, though. I plan to host this every few weeks, a new round each time, and you can join as many as you wish.

This will be a journal swap, BUT we are only sending pages to each other, not the whole journal. It will keep down costs, keep the time between shorter, and you won't loose your journal! Sounds good, right? I hope so!

You may want to have a binder or folder to collect your pages in, but you will NOT be sending it out. It's just going to be a place to collect your pages.

You may type your entries or hand write them, but be sure they are standard computer page size, (8.5 x 11"/ A4) so they will fit in everyone's binder or folder. Please leave room on the left edge and the top of the page in case your partner wishes to punch holes in the page to add to a binder. :) Entries should, of course be neat and clearly written or typed. You may decorate your pages if you wish, just be sure they are still about to be clearly read. :) If you choose to add pictures or items like ticket stubs (as a magpie!) you may do that, but that needs to be in addition to your 1 page of written entry. (You may use the back of the first page, as long as your ink doesn't bleed through. Pages may be neatly folded and mailed in a standard size envelope.)

For each round you will send 3 pages (minimum) if you wish to write more, please do, but 1 page is the minimum:

Page 1 will be a short biography of you, about 1 page long, but it can be longer. Whatever you choose to share. (Note: If you are partnered up with someone you have previously sent to, you may skip the full bio and list other information about yourself, photos of yourself, a few 'top 10' type lists, etc. You don't have to write another full bio.)

Page 2 will be a journal entry of your day, about 1 page long, again whatever you wish to share. If you wish to take more than a page, that is fine.

Page 3 will be a journal prompt reply. You may choose from ONE of these topics:

If you participated in another journal exchange with a friend or family member, did you learn anything about yourself or the other person from the process? Do you think it improved your relationship?

Does your family have any goals as a group? If so, what goals do you have? How did you come up to those goals? How are you doing with the plan?

Your parents. Are you similar to them in any way? Do you see the similarities or is it a significant other who notices the similarities?

Do you have any special regular observations or traditions for fall or fall holidays? What do you do?

What are you reading right now? How did you decide on it? What do you think about the book so far?

You will send those 3 items to your swap-bot partner. :) If you get all 3, you rate them a 5. :) Hearts, of course, are up to you. You can then collect the entries in your binder or folder and add to it with each round. You may neatly fold your pages into a standard sized envelope. Your pages do not need to be mailed flat - this should help with postage costs.

This swap will be International, and you will have 1 partner.

Sound good? Any questions, concerns, comments? Please PM me (I don't see the comments as often as PM's, so it might take a while to get a reply.)

If you had previously signed up for this swap a few days ago, I am sorry. A BUNCH of my swaps - signed up for, watched and hosted - disappeared on me the other night. :(
