Book mooch journals

Come join the BookMooch Journal Project, a traveling art journals project!

This is a brand new undertaking, complete with its own blog and a hosting system to track the journals! First, join http://www.bookmooch.com which is a book trading site. There is no cost to join. The concept behind bookmooch is to trade books you no longer want with others. For every ten books you add to the system, you get one point. with that point, you can get a free book of your choice. We’ve utilized this system for it’s sheer simplicity. Rather than mooching just books, you may use your points to mooch traveling art journals!

Search for journals using this keyword: BMJournal

If no journals are presently available, you can search for ‘unavailable’ titles, and then add the ones that interest you to your wishlist. Every time one of the journals becomes available again, you can mooch it!

Click to see images of some of the journals.

People who have obtained a journal or released a journal can leave a note in the comments associated with that specific journal.

Come join us for the journey! After all, getting a journal from 1000 Journals is harder than winning the lottery! Bookmooch journals are much easier to obtain, because it is strictly limited to BookMooch members.

Thanks for participating, from the folks at The BookMooch Journal Project

I have joined in with the journalling craze through bookmooch. I have three journals starting their journies soon. they are

I wish i was …..

i wish i was ….. is a journal about all those places you’d rather be than where you are at the moment. Living in a different country/ state or even just taking a break from work and doing something unusual for a day/week.

Using a two page spread, pictures, art, writing whatever you feel best shows where you would rather be.

Quotes, poems and other tidbits

A travelling journal to collect peoples favourite quotes, haiku’s, poems, inspirational sayings and other little snippets that you really like and want to share.

add as many things as you like to the journal, remembering not to write or destroy anyone else’s entry. feel free to decorate the page in any way you feel you want to (cutting up pages that other people have written on is not ok) to enhance your contribution.

The little book of stamp art
www.bookmooch.com/m/detail/BM1213631672517095188 is the link for the little book of stamp art.

Have you had cool stamps arrive on your mail and thought wow that would make a great piece of art but never got round to doing anything with it?

Now’s your chance to change that.

This little book is just bigger than an ATC but on each page i want you to create a little piece of art inspired by a stamp you have received (include the stamp on your page!). One to two pages per person please.

* on the back of your page please put your name (moocher id, real name or both) the date and the title of you little piece of art!
*please don’t keep the book for any longer than 2 weeks and please mooch it back to this page so people know where to look.

WHEN it’s completely full please message me and i’ll mooch it back from you.
