Naked Journal Swap

This was so much fun last time ;)

And people thought it couldn't be done!

Oh...I've never tried it internationally, though, that should be fun.

I would love to join in, but it needs to be in an envelope for me to be able to post it from here.

Also, for it to have three rounds, where will the address and stamps go for the second and third rounds please?

if the post office are fussy about an envelope could we do a clear one?

Are you counting both sides as a page or one side as a page?

is size 3 and 1/2 by 5 okay? or should it be larger?

3 1/2 x 5

@Wingy The last couple that I did were 5 by 7 inches. That seemed to work out pretty well.
@wokeupmissing I got one in the mail from The Netherlands, so it can be done internationally. It was so much fun to have a journal that traveled around the world to me. @Lizard The addresses go on the cover. Just add an address sticker over the one that's already on there. Put the stamps near the cancelled ones.
@helo The whole idea of doing a naked swap is to have the stamps and post office markings on the actual book. Putting it in an envelope defeats that purpose.
@joyceann888 Whether you do both sides or one depends on the owner of the journal. When you do your own pages, you can specify how you want the journal to look. You can also specify whether you want it to be strictly art, or whether you want people to write in it. It's your journal and it's entirely up to you how you want it to be.

Oh, also.... I almost forgot! If the post office puts a little series of vertical lines at the bottom of the book, you need to scratch that out, doodle over it, or something to make it unreadable to the machines. Otherwise the book will just go right back to you when the machine reads that.

Ok got it

Is there possibly as sample photo of how it looked liked the last time? :)

@heyyyallie ... Here are two journals sent from the UK to the USA. The larger one is mine. It was mailed from the USA to the UK and back again. The smaller one has only gone through the mail once. It still has to go back to its owner in the UK when I do a few pages. .. My naked journal

@prairiekittin it that hardbound? :) thanks for the photo. I was going to do one 4.33 x 8.25 with regular 20lb papers inside but the cover with 67lb plain white paper. will that work? sorry, this is my first time so i have these questions. thanks again!

@heyyyallie You can do either hardbound or not. Keep in mind the postage rates, though. Regular 20 lb paper will work if you want a "written" instead of "art" journal. I would recommend heavier paper if you want it to be an art journal. 20 lb paper is just too thin. Pens go through to the other side, and it's almost impossible to glue something on without ruining the back side.
