Description:
There is a proverb that reads: "The tale is not beautiful if it is not shared". The value of folk tales lies in their retelling and should this tradition of handling down tales end, something valuable will be lost forever. In this journal swap you will get the opportunity to share folktales from your country. For this swap, you will get a journal or notebook of any kind. You will put your Swap-Bot ID and swap-name on the front of the journal. On the back page put your address (to send home for when the journal is full) as well as you e-mail address. Next you will write down a folk tale from your own country. It may be more than 2 pages. You can decorate if you want to. After you are done, you will package up the journal and send it on to your partner. The idea is to get a journal back filled with interesting folk tales from other countries. Requirements: No unexplained 1s or 3s in the past 6 months. I might be able to angel, but I really hope I don't have to. If you have any questions, please ask.

Interesting.. will you be doing monthly swaps to have our journals travel? Or create a group maybe?

I love this idea! Stories are very important, and sharing them is great. I like the international aspect, this should be fun.

Is there a size range that we should aim to stick within for the journals? How many pages should we have in them?

Apelser 03/26/2013 #

It should preferable a A5 size (medium sized) and about 80 pages.
