Hello swap-people from all over the world!

This will be my second traveling journal swap I host. I´m a stay at home mom of three little kids. Eike 11 years, Nils 4 years and Mara is 1 year old, I was thinking about doing a travelling notebook for recipes.Because each day I think about what I can cook for my family.

Your notebook entry can have any type pf recipes the main thing is it will be delicious.Please feel free to telling about yourself and your country.

For your swap partner it would be nice to send them an extra like tea or stickers or something.

The notebook I'll be sending out will be a red cover A5 notebook, with many pages and it'll be light to keep postage costs low. A minimum from 3 sites for each swap partner to write stuff on or decorate will be ok.Please write in english.

The notebook will travel from one member to another. I will send you the adress from your swap partner and a list with the names and positions of all swappers after the deathline, on which you can see when you will get the notebook and to whom you will send forward. I think one week for each to write in or decorate will be enough. If you have a wish on which position on the list you will be because of the holiday season email me. After I receive the notebook back, I'll scan the pages so everyone can have a copy.

Everyone with a rating from 4.3 above and a complete profile can join. Newbies please email me first.

Who would like to join? :-)

So there's just ONE journal moving among us? How can that happen in just one week. I'd like to suggest that you move the "Send By" date WAY OUT THERE (like end of the year), giving ALL of US time to send. Otherwise everyone (just about) will be "technically late" in sending. :)

OR each of us could send a SMALL journal and then EACH forwards that onward to the next person. That way, if there are 6 people in the swap, we'll see 6 journals and everyone ends up with their own journal coming back to them.

OR (if the swap stays as small as it is now - 3 people) we could each send a journal with 10 recipes, rather than 1 recipe, to our partner, who adds 10 of his/her own. Then it is sent on back to the originator.

(See my Round Robin swap. It's very similar to this one, except we're mailing a packet of LETTERS around our circle of 8 people.)

People, please see my comment in the travelling journal RR

Susi, I read your comment. I'm having to "nag" some folks about sending it onward in my Round Robin swap, so your comment is WELL-ADVISED. [I track using the "I sent my item" tagging. If they've had it more than 2 days, I start nagging. Usually the 2nd note gets them to send it. :) ]

My participants are supposed to keep the packet only 1-2 days but some have kept it a WEEK or more! That just makes it take LONGER to get around. I believe in keeping this sort of swap SMALL, too, for the same reason.
