Note the new swap date

I am giving this swap some extra time because as it turns out, journals are a little more time intensive when they are more than just daily journal entries. Sorry if this has inconvenienced anyone.

This is an open theme journal swap. Meaning you will fill 1 journal for 1 partner with whatever you would like. This is an opportunity for you to send a journal that you spent making without any restrictions on theme, topic, or design. You know what is important to you better than anyone else , and it should be up to you to decide how you will express that in your pages. The only restrictions are as follow:

-Journal size should be no smaller than 5 by 7 inches.

-You must fill at least 25 pages (front and back) or 50 sheets.

-There must be something that lets the reader know who you are somewhere in the journal.

That's it. You are ready to create your open theme journals! Please make this something special. Do not join this swap unless you plan on putting your heart into it. You might even want to fill up more that just the 25 page minimum. I am allowing 5 weeks after the sign up date so that should be plenty of time.

P.S. I do not like to disappoint anyone. YOUR WORK WILL NOT GO TO WASTE. I will make sure to look at all profiles. No newbies for this one. No unexplained 1s or 3s. Have at least 15 swaps completed.

I will send a PM to the swappers that are not qualified to join this swap, giving them a chance to drop before I ban them.

:::::NOTE TO PARTICIPANTS::::::

I have decided to change the rating filter to manual. This does not mean that just anyone can join. It means that I will be checking profiles myself because sometimes ratings are not accurate. Sometimes flakers have a perfect rating, and sometimes good swappers were rated unfairly. I will be checking all the way up to the sign up deadline

I hope it is alright to participate in this swap. I haven't done a journal swap in a long time. I like the idea of how open this one is. I just want to ask to make sure. Is it ok to draw and paint and collage in the journal? Not just write?

@mousepoo sounds like a great journal to me! I tend to write more than anything else..but have been trying to be more creative. I think open theme is what ever you want to include. Just make sure that you have a few pages about who you are in it..

I am joining. I am going to have to used my journal from the swap that the host went MIA in. It's a journal about me. There are questions and answers interspersed with art and creative pages. I really hope you will like this journal.

I really want to join this swap, but I only have 8 swaps completed and there's no way I can get that number up to 15 before the sign up date. :( Maybe I can be allowed to join anyways, or someone would be willing to do this as a private swap with me.

It's very disappointing to read all the way through a swap and then realize you can't participate simply because you are new to this site. I wish people doing these swaps could at least put that on the first line so I wouldn't get thinking about making it and then get to the end and realize I'm not allowed to join, it's very disheartening.

I send to Ladeiraven , and receive from her sister Magickspirit51. Crazy!

OMG... I receive from my best friend. Pyxi. Her and I exchanged journals a few months ago, it's going to be cool getting another one from her. OH man if she likes that idea.
