This journal is for thoughts, reminiscences, tales about the way
music can be a cohesive force in family life, whether between partners, siblings or parents and children. I was brought up in a musical family, both parents were keen and talented amateur musicians. My mother played under the baton of Edward Elgar on occasion, and when my father became branch librarian he organised regular recitals and concerts at his library. My sisters and I all began learning instruments when very young, and regularly played together as a family, later on entering musical festivals together. My sisters and I have all had careers linked with music, although only my younger sister has a partner who also plays. Both my sons played instruments as did my sister’s children, and my younger son and my older son’s daughter both learned the ‘cello as I did. My sister’s daughter has two sons who have learned the violin and my younger son’s stepdaughter also plays an instrument, and he enjoyed going to the town band with her when they lived in Bath.
Please write, draw, add photos, pictures, music ~ as you wish, and respect the entries of others. Whether you write of your own experiences or those of other musicians is your choice. Please adhere to my journaling guidelines (in my bio), relist and resend promptly and keep the journal moving molto vivace!
If extra pages, or repairs are needed, or when full, please email me and I will mooch it back. If you find you can not make an entry when it reaches you ~ relist it and I’ll return it to you point-free later at an agreed time.

I love BookMooch and all its varied moochers. Because of that, I’d like to know who you are.
This journal is for you to add your business card!! It’s an old business card holder book that I used years ago and now it’s ready for new life. Each page has three clear sleeves for cards. You can add your ‘real’ business card or make one up! Keep in mind that there’s no telling where this journal will go, so only add the information to the journal that you don’t mind others seeing. Please don’t alter the cards of others. When full, please return to Jenny Stafford, jfit.

I’ve often thought that I need to write down things for my children about my childhood. I’m very interested in the early lives of my parents and grandparents, but no one has really passed down any stories or history. I’d love to hear about YOUR earliest memory – we all have one! You can use any medium you’d like – just make sure not to alter anyone else’s entry. When the journal is full, please let me know and I’ll mooch it! Jenny Stafford, jfit.

This journal celebrates all aspects of night. It follows on from the first journal: “dawn, daybreak, sunrise” and the second “Day: morning, mid-day, afternoon” and the third “Dusk, sunset, gloaming”. Poetry, prose, art work, photos, stories, memories, facts…
Please make your entry wherever you please, and in whatever form you like.
Please read my journaling guidelines in my bio, and be willing to comply with them.
Make your entry within two weeks,
Re-list and re-send promptly, where-ever it is requested.
Notify me so I can mooch it back if it is completed, needs repairs or needs extra pages added.
I try to keep my journals light for economic posting, and can rebind with extra pages and binders as needed.
I add the weight to my condition notes, so if you think you can’t afford to resend it you know before requesting. This will need altering as extra material is added, please!

This Spring I shall stop being 64 and become 65, a few months later Mark will have his 64th birthday.
This journal is about hopes, ambitions, wishes, aspirations, and the perceptions of age. Please don’t take too long about making your entries, history is not on my side, the women in my family not having much life expectancy beyond my age, and Mark’s parents both also died early, although neither Mark nor I have any plan to lie down quietly and accept old age!
Please enjoy this journal. Use the pages as you wish, but leave the work of others unaltered please.
If the journal is sent promptly wherever requested there should be no problem with completing an entry and re-listing within two weeks.
If you find you can not do so please re-list, email me and I will arrange to return it to you point-free at a later date.
If it needs repair or extra pages added, contact me and send it back to me. I can rebind and add or repair as necessary. When it returns to me I will scan and upload images to the journal site, for all to see.

Beachcombing is so much fun! I’m such a beach bum – every time I go, I pick up a bag full of shells, stones and whatever other beach goodies I can find. Sometimes they’re whole and sometimes in pieces, but always beautiful! Share your beachcombing stories, favorite finds or good picking spots in this pretty shell calendar book! You can use any medium you’d like, just don’t alter the work of others. I’d also like the color pictures in the middle of the book to remain as they are. When full, please return to Jenny Stafford, jfit!
