Are you sure you want to signup for Doodle Journal #1?

Yes, sign me up! or No, I changed my mind.

This swap is for three 4" x 6" doodle journal pages for one partner. Don't know what that means? Well, I'll tell you -- at least for the purposes of this swap! Buckle up, because we're getting serious, sarcastic, whimsical, brutally honest, and everything in between! I will be hosting multiple rounds~


You will need 4" x 6" index cards, blank postcards, or pieces of paper cut to those dimensions. I suggest index cards, as I'll be hosting multiple rounds if people join and they are cheap.

You may also want something like a photo album to store the pages you receive, which can be purchased quite cheaply on Amazon. This option is $8.99, this is $14, and this set of 2 is just $9. (US links)

AS FOR THE PAGES YOU CREATE

Every page should be a journal entry. The intent is to express a random thought, a feeling you're experiencing, a general sentiment you'd like to make known, or an occurrence from your day (1 - 3 sentences) alongside a simple doodle (draw for ten minutes or less -- no talent is fine). Please color in your doodles and date the page. Leave the back of each blank.

Here are some examples of pages I sketched out while fleshing out the idea:

Don't worry about being witty. Any tone is welcome, though be mindul of the format's limitations and the journal's intent -- short, quick glances at thoughts or moments.

Remember, you will be making 3 separate 4" x 6" entries for one partner. You will have a week, but they can all be from the same day if you feel inspired or irresponsible.

You can use markers, crayons, colored pencils, etc -- really anything as long as it's HD/HP. This isn't one for stickers or digital art.

Rate a 5 if you get 3 pages that meet the rules, even if you don't like what they sent. Just don't add them to your journal.

Flakers and bad swappers will be dropped. I check 1's and 3's every time. Will angel if your partner flakes after failed communication with them.

Message me directly with any questions! Have fun and happy doodling~
