Journal challenge

II have edited the send date...my dad passed away and I will be out of town. I just don't have any creative mojo right now. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause...I also see that most of us have not sent...so maybe I am not the only one that need more time.

This is a swap I participated in sometime last year and had a lot of fun. It was in another group. The original creator is @shinyserra . I have changed it up a little bit to reflect this group. I hope we have people join in all the fun!

This will be a very time-intensive challenging swap so please be prepared for that. I will list requirements for our journals below. Each requirement MUST be fulfilled. I am giving a very long send by date because I already have 3 or 4 journals going already. I was asked to host this swap =D. You don't have to wait for partners to be assigned to get started. You may start right away. US only due to shipping costs. You don't have to do the requirements in order, just make sure they are in the journal somewhere.
