Journal Jar.

Thanks to @melzenitram for letting me host an Aussie version of this swap.

Making a journal jar is a creative way to encourage someone to start slowly keeping a journal. Whether you're a person who already likes to journal, you're not really interested, or you find it too time consuming, a journal jar lets you attempt to journal in small doses.

The idea behind a journaling jar is that you take out one prompt a day, glue it to your journal page and write a response to that prompt. Here's how it's done:

First you find a jar (any size will work). You can keep it plain, putting a label on the outside that says, "Journal Jar" or you can decorate it with patterned paper, fabric or anything else you want.

Pick 100 journaling prompts

Type them and print them out on cute fonts on paper and cut them into strips with scissors. OR You could also write the prompts yourself with different colored markers or a black pen.

Then fold them up and put them into the (decorated) jar.

The second part of this swap is to make a journal to go with the prompt jar. This will be a decorated journal for your partner to write there responses in.
