TCH: The Christian Homestead Journal (Jan. 2015)

Let's start our Christian Homestead Journal again. I am new to journal swaps, so if you have any questions please ask.

For each swap, we will have 3 partners. We will send at least 4 pages to our partners with 4 different themes. Of course, you may send more if you wish. Everyone should use 8.5 x 11 inches size paper. It is the size of standard printer paper. Do not send standard notebook paper. We will be using card stock for our pages. This will make our journals nicer. Please decorate your pages a little. This can mean adding some doodles or stickers. Just some decoration, so we are not just getting a plain typed or written sheet of paper. Let's make something pretty for our journals. Also, pages are to be mailed in a large envelope. Pages are not to be folded.

I will change the themes each month, so we will have a variety in our journals. I will probably do a recipe theme and a list each month, but will add a variety of other things. Some things will be seasonal.

Include your name on each page, so your partner will know who each page is from once it is placed in their journal.

This month our 4 themes (pages) will be:

• A favorite winter recipe & a paragraph or more about winter. What you write about winter is completely up to you (memories, what you like about it, a story...). Recipe can be anything you wish, including desserts, casseroles, side dishes, sandwiches, hot drinks...

• Lyrics to one of your favorite Christian songs

• 2 of your favorite soup recipes

• A list of your favorite Christian fiction or non-fiction books (must include at least 10 books)

I am giving three weeks from the sign up date for this swap. All the items are sender's choice, so you may start on it now if you wish. Let's have fun and make a very special journal for our Christian homesteads.

This is a type 3 swap because it is time-intensive.
