Hi everyone, I hope you all join me in this international swap!!! Thanks @chelle523 for the concept! For this journal, you're going to collect various items and paste them in a small journal. This journal is exactly like our standard Magpie journal except for 2 differences: 1) Size β this one is pocket-sized β try to stay under 4 x 6 inches. 2) Number of pages β you only need to fill 20 pages with your Magpie magic! You always can fill more if you want For the sake of postage, you need only fill 20 pages of collected items - you don't need to fill an entire journal (but please feel free to do so if you wish). One side of a page equals one page. What to include inside the journal? Here are some ideas: Recipes/Menus/Postcards/Playing cards/Stickers/Tags and labels/ Interesting stamps /Coupons /Found items (as long as they're clean)/Notes /Grocery Lists /Poems /Song Lyrics/ Interesting bits of paper /Interesting ads /Flyers /Clippings from newspapers and magazines /Inserts /Labels from favorite products /Candy wrappers (make sure they aren't sticky) / Washi samples Try to include things that have visual interest or meaning. Feel free to add a note here or there to explain why you included something if you'd like. Doodles and other decorations are likewise encouraged but not required. If you'd like an extra challenge, see how much of the journal you can fill within the deadline! Basically anything goes - just make sure you have 20 pages full and nothing dirty, smelly or sticky! There's a long lead time on this one, so you can go ahead and get started as it's sender's choice and not partner-specific! PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE SIGNING UP: There is no artistic or written requirement for this swap. The swap is also not partner-specific, so your partner is not under any obligation to make a journal that meets any requirements other than 20 pages of magpie goodies. Because this swap is open to the participants' interpretation, you may receive something that is completely different than what you've created. If you are not okay with that, then this may not be the swap for you. Have a happy swapping time you all! |
