Summer +Journal +Journal goodie = Summer fun

Do you ever have a day in Summer where it's to hot, and you just feel lazy, or lack inspiration? This journal is for you.

For this swap you take one journal. You are not filling the journal, but enriching the journal with prompts, art, quotes, and whatever you think will make the journal nice. (Prompts, can be on the page itself, each one on a different post-it and scattered through the journal, or on a list included with the journal)

In most cases what you add to the journal will not take up a lot of space, so that your partner has a place to put their wonderful ideas. The journal you send for this swap, will stay with whoever your swap partner is.

What do I add to the journal?

Use your partners profile for ideas, but does not have to be profile specific. Can add writing prompts, art prompts, cheap sumer activities or challenges.

ex. of Sumer challenges: try this recipe..., Go for a walk outside try to record 5 things for each of your senses, have a picnic outside-what was it like?, blow bubbles, add a word puzzle, etc.

Other ways to fill journal: Look at profile and notice that the person really likes Oceans. You can take that theme for ideas. Maybe add a beautiful Ocean picture to one page, decorative seashell border on a page, quote, maybe a prompt like: If I were a mermaid I would... My favorite memory at the Ocean is... This is just an example it doesn't all have to be one theme.
