JOURNAL - #1 - edited extra info...

For this swap you will need a blank notebook approximately A5 size. Smaller is okay, but preferably no larger. One of our awesome swappers started me thinking about a journal swap and she found beaut blank notebooks at Officeworks.

As this is a labour-intensive swap, it will be Australia Only to keep postage costs down and help us feel more secure that journals will reach their intended destinations.

I will try to keep this fairly quick turnaround

To start off, Please complete page 1 with your Name, Address and Swapbot Username.

Any decoration of the cover, or pages you fill in are optional, but when working in other people's journals, please avoid thick bling and split pins.

Each round, we will do a double page spread using a list of at least 10 of whatever the swap round is about. So, to clarify: Your list must have 10 items on it, more if you desire, although that is not a necessity.

So, for Round 1 we will do a list of GREAT HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS

These are YOUR idea of top ten. So if you think Italy is a "must see" then Italy will be on your list. If you believe one hasn't lived until one has seen the Grand Canyon, then put that on your list.

Get the idea? Good!

If you receive a journal, you MUST rate a 5, even if you hate the idea of a camel ride in Egypt.

The destinations on the list are sender's choice

I am open to suggestions for other lists to include in future swaps. I do have a few ideas, but you might have some better ones.

Of course, it is entirely possible that when partners are assigned an owner might receive their own book back for that round.

The final round will not be ratable, as we will be returning the journals to their owners, just as we did after round five.

So, in place of ratings, a comment on the sender's page will be the 'receipt'.

Now, the usual stuff...

No unexplained 1's or 3's. Please only join if you are committed to sending the journals on. It will be fun to see what we get back.

Newbies with a well filled profile are welcome, so long as they have at least 5 rated swaps in categories 2 and/or 3. Well filled means I have to scroll to read it all.

Please ensure you send by the last date to send - earlier is preferable.

Look, you've read this far, so you're not a flaker are you? Excellent! Welcome aboard the fun train!

I check all profiles before assigning partners.
