I am taking part in a year long project - Travelling Journals started by Ushci. We all have a month to start our journal and then it gets posted on to someone else who keeps it for a month and fills it with creative thoughts from their lifes before posting it on again! I received Olga's Journal Hedvig last week and mine is now ready to be posted off to Sia in Amsterdam.
There are people from all over the world taking part and I can't wait to get my journal back a year from now with the creative ponderings of many people decorating its' pages.
My journal is somewhat plain - it's a Moleskine Sketchbook, but it's the inside that counts!! I have completed 4 pages and hopefully that will give the others a little bit of information about me!
I've never kept a creative journal before and this is going to be an interesting learning experience for me. Whilst I know there are no rights and wrongs in keeping your own journal I am a little nervous about what is expected and will it be "creative" enough!

Sounds like a fascinating project! Although if I did keep a creative journal, I think I'd feel sad about having my stuff move off to other people.
But I guess you receive so much of the creativity of others in return...
what an amazing idea. i have tossed around keeping a creative journal, but it hasn't happened yet!
I will be very exited receiving your journal, Di! I think the beautiful thing is to relate to the person who started the project more than deliver full art-work!!!
I love moleskines!!
beautiful!! LOVE your embroidery so much!! What a great journal!
I love this idea! Although I am not disciplined enough to keep up on something like this...Best of luck with your journaling adventures!
What a cool project to be part of, Di! Wish I had known about it...although the commitment would big to be able to write something everyday. Best of luck!
Wow - how fun! You'll love Costa Rica if you go and visit - it's beautiful..although I imagine Scotland is very beautiful too...never been to Europe - guess I'll have to wait til the kids are older since 6 tickets would be pricey (esp. from Hawaii)! Good luck with your journaling!
sounds like fun!
think i need to keep my eyes open for the next round...
wow, that's a great idea....would love to do something like that....do you think there will be more? and how do I find out about it? happy writing

how fun!
what a fantastic idea! I expect the "owner" eventually gets their journal back and its filled with all the creativity of the others.
i love this idea!! how cool you're going to participate!!
What a delightful project - it will be such a treasure to have the completed journal - I'm jealous:)
What a fascinating idea. But you must be an organized person to complet the task. I love the molekino, it is my favourite notebook
