Description:

I seen where Jesshens1125 was going to be away for about two months....I have been tring to get a hold of her but no reply. I hate to see this swap ends and journals are just a stand still so I thought I would host them till she gets back.

This is the Eighth swap in the series of Shared journal swaps.

IF YOU TOOK PLACE IN THE FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH,FIFTH,SIXTH OR SEVENTH ROUND: you have received a journal with a bio, a journal entry, and a journal prompt. Your task now is to answer that journal prompt, write a bio about yourself, and a journal entry to include a response to what your partner wrote, and then end with a journal prompt for the next person to answer, and then send your journal off to your partner.

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST ROUND: Please feel free to join even if you didn't take part from the start. What you will do is get a journal, notebook, comp book, anything with at least 80 pages and on the front cover, write what the journal is for and who you are, on the back page write your name and address and where to send the journal home when it is full. Then you will write a bio about yourself (about a page or so) and then one journal entry about your day, your self, your thoughts, life, the world, whatever comes to mind that you want to write about. On the next page you will then write one journal prompt for your partner to answer. Thats it, send it off to your partner!

You will have three weeks to send out your journal.

Now the fine print: I will check profiles carefully, if you look fishy, and offer no explanation, i will ban. If you are new, have a VERY well filled out profile and at least 5 mail swaps completed.

I hope this all makes sense, and please feel free to ask any questions.

new this round::: If you have taken part in the previous rounds, please write in the comment section who's journal you currently have and will be passing along, that way we can make sure that our own journals are still out there.

Never did get a journal from #7 so I will not be joiningl. So as not to be a flaker like so any in this group I have made a new one and sent it out today. It is going to Jesshens1125 (my assigned partner) who we all know is going to be absent for some time so there it will set. I will not be foolish enough to join anymore. My sister dropped out at 5 because she never received a journal to send on either.

LilyM I'm so sorry you and your sister got flaked on! i know how that is cause i got flaked on in the fourth round. It's a shame your journal will there sitting for heavens know how long. That is why I thought i would keep it going so journals won't just be sitting somewhere.I would like to get both of mine back sometime. I will angel if you get flaked on. And any flakers will get baned from all of my swaps.So I hope you and your sister both come back and give the swap another chance.

I want to say "I'M VERY SORRY" If I offended anyone for just taking over these swaps. Anyone who would like to wait for Coordinator: Jesshens1125 to get back before they sign up again will NOT OFFEND ME!!! Like I said I am only taking over till she gets back so the journals won't be on a stand still. When she does get back I'm no longer signing up for the swap....Cause if she just leaves up in the middle of an on going swap she coordinated once she will probable do it again.

A kind person that is not signing up for more swaps is going to forward me a Journal so that I can participate in this swap. I will not be signing up until I receive it in the mail though. I also agree with tamtamlee, I would be afraid that when Jesshens1125 returns it will end up the same It looks like this is not the first occurrence of this happening with her

@LilyM thats really nice someone is sending you a journal! I do hope you get it in time to sign up. Would really love to have you in the swap!

I decided to rejoin... Although Jesshens1125 "flaked" on me for the last round (even if it is an accidental one!) I will create a second one to send out

Glad you join HeidiJean :)

I have Bonnie Cote's journal to send out for #8

LilyM 09/22/2011 #

I received a Journal (finally) belonging to Crystal Jo Cuevas. I did not sign up for this swap because I never received one from the #6 swap and this #7 one waited until the very last day to mail it out. If there is going to be a #9 I will try and get back in so that this Journal can be on its way. If not, I will return it to its owner and let them decide.
