Journal on a Rolo #1

If you love creating rolos (altered rolodex cards) and creating lists and journaling, this is the swap for you! With this swap, you will not only be sharing your creativity, but also a little bit about yourself via a journal prompt.

I love to journal, and I love finding different non-traditional ways to do that. Let's do this!

Your rolo card needs to be 2 5/8 X 4 to fit a standard Rolodex holder, or it can be 2.5 X 4 to fit the medium sized spinner. Both have similar notches and will fit both of these Rolodex holders. If you don't have a Rolodex, there are some DIY instructions around online to create your own.

Create a sturdy Rolo in any theme you like as this is sender's choice. Use paints, inks, rubber stamping, mixed media, collage, embellishments, etc. Anything goes! You do not need to be artistic, but you are expected to put some time and effort into your creation. Please take the time to create something nice that you will be proud to send. No sticker slapping and no sloppy work!

The back of your rolo should be lightly decorated to match the front, but the focus here will be your responses to the prompt you choose from the list below. Write your prompt of choice down, and answer in list form only, with at least 5 answers. No need to elaborate; simple list form is fine. On the back, you will also include your name, swap bot ID and the name of the swap.

The Prompts:

• Yesterday I ...
• Friendship
• Secrets
• I'm thankful for
• Songs I currently love (Artist and song title)
• Random things about me
• This stuff scares me ...
• Fictional people I'd love to meet
• Moments I'll never forget
• Things to do when you are bored
• Things I can't live without
• An ideal day
• Things that make me smile
• Things I hate

Please package up your finished rolo securely, so that it will survive it's journey through the mail and send off to your partner.

If you receive a rolo that meets the above requirements, kindly rate your partner a 5. Hearts are up to you.

Newbies are welcome, but only with a well filled out profile. I will be checking each participant after the sign up date and will remove anyone I feel is questionable, or does not meet the requirements. No recent or unexplained 1's or 3's. Let's keep this a flake free swap! I will angel if necessary.
