Description:

For this Swap you will alter one journal (I suggest working on about A5 ish size - big enough to do stuff but small enough that you can fit it in your handbag) for one partner. The theme is "wreck this journal". You will alter the front and back cover to the theme "wreck this journal", and include prompts on at least 30 pages of the inside for the recipient to "wreck". This website can provide you some ideas: http://www.wreckthisjournal.com/

Some ideas to get you started:

Cover this page with Circles Cover this page with the stickers that come on fruit Scrub this page with something Press flowers and leaves onto this page Use this page as a napkin Remember, you won't wreck the journal yourself, but are creating one for your partner to "wreck", you're just making the prompts for your partner. Once you get your journal from your partner you can have fun wrecking it.

I adopted this idea from @Iacqui as her's just covered the USA.

You can be from anywhere outside the USA (if you are in the USA you can find the original swap here: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/38927

Must have a filled out profile, 4.5 rating, and completed 20 swaps. Message me with any exceptions you want me to make, or any questions you have.

How can you ask for a 5 rating when you don't have one yourself? That means you don't meet the swap requirements and will need to be banned :)

impeus 06/12/2009 #

I agree, I think you should change the requirement to 4.9!! I would expect that you of all people would appreciate that its easy to have an unsatisfied swap through no real fault of your own.

impeus 06/12/2009 #

Sorry, I sound mean above. I didn't mean to sound mean, just give a suggestion. Its too early in the morning for me, sorry!!!!

Thanks for running an international version :-)

Mysticsweetness 06/12/2009 #

This sounds like fun and im looking forward to doing this. Does anyone know if we can get them composition books in the UK or is there somthing similar to them?

Godsrockangel 06/12/2009 #

@magicjessnrach I'm sorry I was on about my 5th attempt of trying to get the swap started that I just stuck it up without realising (also it was like 1am and I needed my bed lol)! The rating bit as been dropped to 4.5.

@impeus don't worry I know the feeling you type something out and think it's pretty chilled then you read it back and it sounds like you're ranting - i've amended as you can see above.

@secretterrabite You're welcome :)

@Mysticsweetness - I'm not sure - if you can and you do find them can you post a link etc - if not it's cool to go with anything really it's just a5 as a guide :)

Jox 06/13/2009 #

could you make your own journal? I have loads of scrap paper in work that has only been used on one side, this would be a great way to re-use it.

secretterrabite 06/13/2009 #

Mystic Sweetness, If you go to Stationery Box, they have school exercise books which are the same as the composition books. They also have them in packs of 5 in the "Everything a Pound" shop where I live. They are slightly larger than A5 but have less pages than a traditional sketchbook.

Godsrockangel 06/16/2009 #

@Jox That would be awesome! Thats a great idea!

principeta 06/18/2009 #

Are the pages can be in lines or have to be blank like original " Wreck this journal"?Thanks.

Godsrockangel 06/23/2009 #

@principeta I would say plain like the original journal but if lined is all you can do then that is cool.

principeta 06/24/2009 #

Thank you for replay,I have another question.Can we give some direction,for example,I do not want mine to put it in dirt or put jelly or gum on it.

Godsrockangel 06/25/2009 #

@principeta Your partner is just decorating the outside (so the front cover and the back cover) then giving you like a one sentence suggestion for each page like "Fill the page with circles". You can "guide" in the sense of what you like on the outside - for example I don't like skulls but i adore glitter and stars! Does this answer the question?

principeta 06/26/2009 #

O.k.,I dont have to do that page if I dont like it =o)

Sam 06/29/2009 #

who ever my partner is will be getting a handmade journal im already halfway through making it i love this idea and hope my partner loves there journal - sorry if its one of the bbs that already have one of mine :)

Godsrockangel 06/30/2009 #

Hannah, you say everyone is ok so far, but there are people from usa in, will they be removed as the swap does state anyone except usa?

Godsrockangel 07/ 3/2009 #

@clareyfairy I've done the deed and the people involved are outside USA. We have one person (hello @marie61 who is in Canada.

Godsrockangel 07/10/2009 #

@Sam I don't mind - I love your journals - if i have this one to wreck then the other one you made for me can be super pretty!
