Description:
Ran this swap in another group a while ago and everyone enjoyed it and I thought ya'll might as well...For this swap, you will take a cereal box to make your outside cover of your journal. You can make it any size from at least 3x3 and up. Cover the cereal box or some other sort of food box with pretty paper, fabric, flowers, embellishments etc. and stitch or glue in nice paper pages for your partner to use to write their thoughts, recipes, quotes etc. Leave the pages blank so that your partner can fill them in the way she/he likes. Do your best work and make it a work of art and most of all enjoy! No flaking, No recent 1's or 3's. No ratings below 4.9 and please mail on time and if you can't please communicate that to your partner. But please try to mail on time since you'll have plenty of time to create your journal.

We had torrential rains here yesterday and I was locked in my creative mode and worked on these and I am just about done except for decorating the cover with finishing touches

bamagrrl - that's up to you but preferably more than 12....

occasiongb6557 - i was hoping for rain today, it's spiting and sputtering right now so hopefully we'll get a little bit of the wet stuff...we need it so badly in texas.

Is it ok to make it wire bound with a BIA?

Haha Angela you are going nuts with your BIA! I wanted to ask the same thing, Shelley?

What is a Bia?

crescendo 07/31/2011 #

OOOOh, a BIA is a "Bind It All" machine. It punches holes on the edges of pages/covers and then you use the wire rings to bind the book click here for BIA website. If you have a Tuesday Morning store near you, they sell the entire startup kit for $49.99 which also includes the wires and a lot of book-board covers.
