SWAP BEGINS – AUGUST 1st Three M's Swap - A Month of My Memorabilia I’ve seen this swap posted before and I really loved the idea, but just never joined. I figured might as well dive in and just do it. The idea of this swap is to share pieces of your life with someone else . . . and to experience someone else’s in return. 1) You will need a Journal - No smaller then a 5" x 7" and it must have enough pages in it to cover the 31 Days of August and for you to write an introduction about yourself on the front page(s). Composition Notebooks make great Journals for this type of swap ! Note: The front cover of the Journal must be altered in some manner. 2) On the first page(s) you will tell your partner a bit about yourself. Your age, where you live, your interests, hobbies, family, etc. 3) You will then, date the rest of the pages from August 1st through August 31st anyway you’d like. You will then attach an article of memorabilia to EACH page for that day. For the purpose of this journal, memorabilia is a keepsake of an event or a piece of ephemera from a day in your life. You’ll collect these items each day for a month and sharing them with our assigned partner along with a description of how we came across the item, or why you chose that item for the day. It can be as simple as an appointment card from an appointment you had on that particular day, and you can use MORE than one item. Other ideas, Pictures, receipts, menus, ticket stubs, copies of items, flyers, business cards, whatever you want to share. But remember to journal somewhere on that page for the day even if its just ONE word for the day. 4) For each day, after you’ve attached your memorabilia, be sure to cover that page anyway you’d like, don’t just attach a receipt from the grocery store, write “Went shopping,” on the page and consider it done, be creative, the entire page should be used up. Note: If you go to the grocery store 100 times during that month, don’t include every single receipt, vary what you attach for each day. SWAP ENDS: August 31st - you have until September 12th to mail your Journal Out. Participants must have a rating of 4.9 or higher. Anyone with a rating lower than 4.9, history of any no sends, or anyone with a 1 or 3 in the last 6 months will be banned. Any questions you may post them on the thread below or PM me. | |
