Huge Altered Journal Swap

So...some of us may or may not have been in this journal swap when @weeatcrayons was hosting it. Since you are in this group, you know how much effort and work goes into journal swaps so I do not expect anything less!

For this swap you will take a journal/book no less than 5 x 7. It can be a cow print comp. book, homemade book, sketchbook turned journal, a recycled thrift book turned journal. Anything, as long as it is at least 5 x 7.

This is basically a themed journal. You will use a page or two for each item listed below. Try to include all types of media if you can..collages, drawings, pictures, text, etc. Put REAL effort into this.

Ratings of 4.9 or above please. This shouldn't be a problem because if you had lower, you would not be in this group!

For now, I am putting this at USA only. If the orginal was International, I will change it though! Just let me know! I do not want anyone who was in the orginal with a near completed journal to be left out.

Have at least 25 Type 3 swaps under ya belt. This just shows you do commit to swaps. would be awesome if you had a good amount of journal swaps even! But not totally required!

You will have about 2 months to send off. I know for some of you, you are already done. I am sorry but I just want to make sure everyone has a chance to finsih and do well! Here's you're list:
