Description:

For this swap you're going to need a standard composition notebook. Roughly 80-100 pages should do the trick.

Step One: Introduce yourself. Put your user name and whatever else you'd like to include. If you would like, feel free to enter your address. The owner of the journal can write you back when they get this down the line...or really anyone whose hands the journal lands in can.

Step Two: tape/glue/include an article that you find interesting into the journal. It can be from a magazine, a database, or a newspaper. Whatever you find to be interesting.

The third part of this project is including a journal entry. You can include your thoughts about your article, use it to enhance your journal entry, or write about something else entirely.

Essentially this is another shared journal project. There aren't prompts written for each other because, well only the original sender will see the journal once it returns. I buy the newspaper every day and think this will be a great way to use it for something other than recycling or window cleaning once I've read it.

Also, feel free to include pictures, sketch things, write poems or really whatever tickles your fancy. Journals are creative outlets. Let this one be yours.

Once the journal is full please send it back to its original owner. Also, it'd be great as we go about doing this if we mention in the comments who has which journal.

If this is your first time entering this journal swap, make a journal, follow the above steps, and include a page with your address on it so once it's full it can be sent back to you. :)

If you don't receive a journal I'll angel.

Are we doing journals or just pages? In the last one, I did just pages. I didn't put them in a composition book.

@butterflyqueenbee I made one for pages in addition to the journal one I had created because I had a request for it. I'll make the pages one either this evening or tomorrow during the day. :)

@kkrriiissyy hi! This looks interesting to me but I'm slightly confused. Do I buy a journal and write whatever in it ( couple pages) and send it to the swap partner? Then when I receive the other persons I write back filling up the whole thing? Or do I do a few pages and we send it off to another person? Or do I send a completely empty journal to my swap partner to fill up?

Thanks, I am just dong the pages one.

@Grapefruit7625 you do a page on yourself, then an article or whatever on page 2, and something on page 3. Then you send your journal to your partner and when she does round 3, you fill in the journal that you got with a bio, article, and another page. So you only do 3 pages and then send off to your partner.

I've received a couple of sheets of foreign newspapers from swaps and pen pals, I can't wait to use them instead of just collecting dust :)
