The Little Book of Phone-Side Doodles

It seems our most creative minutes (or hours, depending on your phone
habit) are spent talking on the phone. The scribbles and doodles idly
made in an attempt to keep our eyes busy while our minds and mouths
race can be amazingly detailed, surreal, imaginative and weird. So
keep this journal by the phone and scribble as the muse finds you.
Once you’ve filled a page (or two) send it along to the next
talkaholic. 😉

Fun-N-Games

This journal is full of blank pages, which will be filled by fellow BookMoochers.

The topic of this journal is “Fun-N-Games”. As children, many of us had our favorite toy or game that kept us occupied. In this journal, please contribute photos, pictures, artwork, stories, and anything else that relates your favorite toys or games from your childhood. It can be something you had, or something you really wanted but never obtained.

If you can’t think of anything from your childhood, tell me about something that your children or grandchildren love. My very first nephew is due to be born November 2007, so you could give me some ideas on things he might enjoy has he grows up.

When you receive this journal, please add your contribution on one or more pages, then, re-list it on BookMooch so that others can mooch it and pass it on. Please list it in this same location.

When the book is full, please return it to me and I will smooch you a point to cover shipping.

The Little Book Of BookMooch Tarot

This is the second of my ‘little book’ journals. This is what it sounds like- BookMoocher’s versions of the Major Arcana.

Select a card that has not yet been done (or if all of them have been done and the book is not yet full, then select whichever one takes your fancy) and illustrate your version of it. You can do this directly on the book, or do it on something else and paste it in, you ca even do it on your computer, and print it out- skies the limit. Then include your personal interpretation of the card you illustrated, explaining what it would indicate in a spread.

Add your BookMooch ID to your entry, and send it along its way, and when it’s full send back to Snofferol.

Most importantly- HAVE FUN!

Mellow Yellow

This is one of several “neon” journals that I picked up on sale at the local drug store. They are small in size – the pages are about the size of an index card and are unlined and brightly colored in the theme of each of these “color” journals. The theme of this journal is “yellow.” It is a celebration of all things literally and figuratively “yellow” – whether it’s art work featuring the color yellow, or examples of yellow-bellied yellow journalism, yellowed with age…all things “yellow” are welcome.

Although there were a few free pages when I had this journal, it was returned to its creator, as it was overfilled for the spine to take the strain. The creator has since been inactive and has not responded to emails, so it must be regarded as completed and returned to its creator. 


Counting My Blessings: A Journal of Things to Be Thankful For

I found this unused gratitude journal at a “used” booksale and decided to share it with my fellow bookmoochers. It’s designed to be a daily journal where you list five things you are thankful for on each day. Each page has three days, so I’m not expecting any kind of strict adherence to this format. Use the whole page or multiple pages to write, draw, or collage what you are thankful for. When you are finished, please relist on bookmooch for the next person to add an entry. If you are the last person to mooch this book, please return it to me and I’ll ’smooch’ you a point to cover the postage.

Holidays

I thought this journal would be nice, since the holidays are around the corner. Holiday art journal-Feel free to be as creative as you would like-draw, paint, write a short story, write a poem, and even find some creative work off of the computter. You can pick whatever holiday is your favorite and one you may like the least. You can express how you feel about a certain holiday. Maybe you would like to add a holiday tradition to the journal. Have fun with this journal. A birthday is a holiday too. Please email me when the journal is done. Then I will mooch it back from you.

Create-a-Saint

Sometimes it seems like there’s a patron saint for EVERYTHING – there’s Ulric, the Patron Saint against Vertigo, Anthony of Padua for Seekers of Lost Articles, and Hubert of Liege, Protector of Precision Instrument Makers – and yet, sometimes it seems like there’s no one looking out for us in our times of need.

So now it’s your turn to create your personal patron saint! For example, there may be saints for shepherds and wool manufacturers, but where is the saint against Itchy Wool Sweaters? Manufacture a life history and record a few miracles for your saint, and be sure to include an image too!
