A Journal Entry/Picture A Day

I've been enjoying a variety of journal swaps lately and have had the good fortune of having some really great partners. For the most part my partners have gone above and beyond the requirements and I wanted to create a journal swap that would incorporate some of the ideas they included to make a stellar journal.

The premise of this swap is simple - keep a journal for at least twenty days. Each day should have one entry. Each entry should include one page of text and one page of illustration. The text can be anything you feel like - what happened during the day, a poem or song you like, a story you read or wrote... literally anything. The illustration should be complementary and could include a drawing, a collage, a photograph, or any art that you want to include. For example, one day you might go to dinner and a movie. Your entry might be the story of your night and the illustration might be a collage of a take-out menu from the restaurant, a ticket stub, and maybe a magazine cutout related to the movie.

Edited! Sorry I guess I should have been a bit clearer - the finished product should have twenty entries. You will then send it on to your partner who will keep it.

You should not wait until the last minute to write all of the entries. You will have one partner, therefore you will need one journal. Any style of journal or notebook is acceptable - whatever moves you creatively.

This swap is International, so please keep that in mind when joining and when picking out the size and weight of your journal. If you would like to participate in the US Only version please check it out here: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/7493

Obviously, this swap requires a large commitment of time and energy, so it is for serious swappers only. That means you must have a rating of 4.5 or above. I will ban anyone with a lower rating or more than one no send. Sorry, no newbies.

Thanks for checking out my swap and feel free to contact me with any questions!
