Description:

I love to journal but sometimes I find that I am either feeling lazy or just lacking in inspiration. I know that there are tons of resources out there online to help with getting your creativity moving in the writing area so that is what we are going to focus on for this swap. You will send your partner a nice long email with tons of journaling inspiration. You can send link to journaling prompt sites, you can send links to sites about decorating books to make journals, you can send links for sites where others have posted photos of their journals. As long as it is journal related feel free to send it. Don't just send one or two links and be done. Make this a nice long resourceful email. Journaling is something that can be very helpful and enjoyable so make the most out of this swap and really help your partners out. Since this is an email swap we will have the maximum number of partners.

This swap is open to everyone. Newbies are welcome. Just please only join if you plan on sending. I will angel however if need be.

dont you think that 20 partners is a bit too much?? I would definitely join if it was 4-5 partners.. but keeping track with all those emails, may be a bit much..

I have joined a few swaps recently with 20 partners and I love it. You can send one email and put all the addresses on bcc. I like having 20 partners also cause I am super into journaling and would love to get so many different ideas. However if we don't get enough people in I will be lowering the partner number.

LOL, unless you mean too much as in getting all the emails from other people. If that's what you meant what I do is make a folder in my mail and drag them all to that folder then I can go through them and look whenever I want. I have several swap-bot email swaps that I have saved in their own folder so I can check them out from time to time. I do hope you decide to join but if not sorry. :)

I'm a newbie and I'm giddy with excitement about this swap! I've got some good journal ideas, myself, and I'm going to go find links right now!

damilola 03/ 5/2010 #

Are you looking for links for diary-journals or journaling on scrapbooking pages or what ? Journaling is so wide, but am sure you are looking for something special. Pls, help me out !

marcsgrl 03/ 5/2010 #

Hi damilola,

I am talking about journaling as in diary type journals. Of course the prompts I have seen could be used for scrapbooking as well but mainly I am thinking art journal, or diary type journals. Hope that helps.

FeeBeeDee, I am so happy that you are excited about this. I have found some amazing links myself and I am looking forward to sharing them.

I hope you'll repeat it from time to time as I can't sign up now and really like the idea. 20 people is a lot for me as well, the problem is not only the reading, but also the rating (I take time to write something suitable with each and every one).

marcsgrl 03/ 6/2010 #

I will think about hosting one when this finishes with less partners.

Passion 03/ 6/2010 #

I would join that one.

SaraswatiChB 03/ 7/2010 #

Me too.

@marcsgirl wow, those are some awesome advices.. i must say, dunno why but i never came to think about it that way.. making a folder surely must help..

though i do have to agree a bit with @ SaraswatiChB because i also like to read each mail completely and give a feedback along with my rating.. and having so many partners makes this somewhat tiring.. Maybe the next one..

But I`m definitely into the idea of this swap.. i sometimes (like right now) get stuck when writing journals.. i sometimes google out for visual journals, they get me inspired..

marcsgrl 03/ 7/2010 #

I can see what you guys mean about it being a lot of partners. I just really love the idea of getting lots of nice links and advice. I will host another when this is finished and it will have less partners. Of course keep in mind that today is the last day to sign up and as of right now we only have 13 people in the swap. I will adjust the partners to the amount of participants.

On the other hand, having so many partners makes this a great way to get lots of good ratings all at once.

savannahjan 03/ 8/2010 #

Just FYI, keep in mind you only have 12 partners since you will be number thirteen. :)

I forgot to include my username in the email.. DOH. Sorry! I hope everyone can figure out that it was me. :)
