Description:

For this swap you will buy a cheap spiral-bound memo pad (like the super cheap ones that you can buy for 50 cents), and fill it full of whatever you can think of. I'm giving a lot of freedom for what can be in it, but it would be nice to put an assortment of things (For example: quotes, pictures, doodles, random thoughts occurring in your brain).

RULES:

  • It must be at least 40 sheets long.

  • Every page must have something on it. Doesn't have to be front and back unless you want to.

  • Don't censor yourself!

  • That being said try not to be offended by the uncensored journal you receive.

  • You will have a full month to complete this, but feel free to start before partners are assigned. This is about your own personal randomness.

  • You may decorate the journal any way you like, but it is not necessary.

  • You must have a 4.8 rating with at least 5 swaps (not e-mail) completed to join. You also must have logged in with in 3 days of when I assign partners.

If you have any questions please PM me.

Watching it for now. Love the idea!!

colleenp 05/15/2009 #

yes, really great idea! i'm putting it on my watchlist, too, until it gets closer!

What size memo pad? Not a full size 8 1/2 by 11...but smaller?

babycakeslurve 05/15/2009 #

Smaller than a normal notebook, but I'm not going to be really particular about the size. The one I'm going to use is about 4 1/2 X 6 1/2. Anywhere around there is fine.

I am watching too. I am signed up for too many right now, but I hope to get a free spot for this one, good idea.

This is freakin awesome! I've been altering notebooks quite a bit lately so I will be decorating the front, back, inside and out of mine. Cool idea. I am actually hosting a few altered notebook swaps if anybody is interested. Happy altering!

I've been wanting to join in a journal swap for ages. the larger journals are too intimating for a first journal swap. This one is perfect! I can't wait to get started & to see what I get in return ^_^

Susi 05/16/2009 #

great idea, I'll be putting it on my watch list!

babycakeslurve 05/16/2009 #

After looking at questions I have received from members I have made some minor alterations to the swap description.

MommyKnows 05/16/2009 #

does it have to be spiral bound?... how about mini comp books?

secretterrabite 05/17/2009 #

What a cool idea. Sounds like great fun.

missmonroeville 05/17/2009 #

Would a spiral bound pad by 6 x 4 be ok, or is that too small?

babycakeslurve 05/17/2009 #

6X4 sounds just about perfect for what I was thinking of for this swap. If you have a small notepad lying around that is not spiral bound I think it will be okay. I just said spiral bound because I was thinking of a specific type of notepad that is very cheap. Just to make everything clear, this is NOT an altered notebook swap. You can decorate your notepad any way you wish, but it's not required.

missmonroeville 05/18/2009 #

Great, I'll join. This sounds like a fun swap!

This is my first random journal... I am going to enjoy putting this together... Wish I knew how to make it altered!! I am not that creative, am the type you uses stickers and calls it good LOL!! ...am not joking...

principeta 05/31/2009 #

Is it 3×5 too small?

occasiongb6557 05/31/2009 #

Love the freedom of the randomness and the fact that its mini makes it quick and easy to fill a smaller book with things..and not a killer on postage since it seems to keep going up....

ladyrn 05/31/2009 #

So we will send it to our partner when we are done. Do we ever then get it back? After they have read it? Or is it their's to keep forever?

SouthWestMoonUnit 06/ 1/2009 #

Love the idea...I'm too new, so I can't participate. I'll watch for now.

babycakeslurve 06/ 1/2009 #

3X5 will be okay. No, you don't get it back once you send.

poodlegoose 06/ 1/2009 #

Hi, I didn't realize that this was not for newbies when I first signed up. I just joined today, so you can take my name off of the list (though, I'd love to do it). Thanks!

spin 06/ 1/2009 #

Oh I hope this will come along again when I am not a newbee anymore! :)

Artistic 06/19/2009 #

A journal of randomness is en route to my partner. Enjoy!
