WIO - My Mini Journal, August 2015

This is a monthly swap. You do not need to have participated in the previous swaps to jump in on this one. I hope you'll join us in getting to better know your group mates one month at a time.

YOU WILL NEED:

A pocket sized journal (mini-comp, small notepad, handmade, etc. or larger if you wish) with a minimum of 31 pages (equal to the number of days in the month).

Decorating supplies - Anything you feel is appropriate to personalize the journal. If the journal cover already has a design, feel free to leave it as is.

Legible handwriting and colors that are not difficult to read (please don't use neon green pens or, god forbid, yellow!). You have the option to type up your entries as well.

Each day you will write a few sentences describing your day (minimum one, no maximum). This could be something important/funny/scary that happened, a highlight of the day, etc. Please try to be descriptive. "Best day I've had this week!" is a huge cliffhanger! Please explain why.

Please be sure to label your journal by month and year somewhere on/in the journal. Please also include your SB handle. Decorate the front cover as you wish, but know that the focus of the swap is 'day in the life of...', not an artistic masterpiece. Sticker slap is even allowed. If you personally made your journal and it has a non-decorative front, I still consider that personalizing (albeit, very bland) and if you bought a journal that came with a nice, decorative pattern (does not include composition pattern shown in the photo above), I would consider that personalizing. But please, honestly guys, try and decorate.

REQUIREMENTS: Must have participated in a Type-3 swap in the last three months. Must NOT have an unexplained 1 rating in the last 3 months.
