Hub: Sisterhood of the Traveling Journal 01-2026

Welcome to this Private Hub for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Journal (01–2026).

This space serves as the central place for all initial questions, updates, and information before the round officially begins. Everyone included here has expressed interest in joining this international Round Robin and is considering taking one of the available spots.

What this Hub is for:

• A general meeting point before the event closes
• Asking questions about how the round works
• Learning about postage, timelines, journal expectations, and requirements
• Getting to know other interested members
• Sharing early ideas, inspiration, or thoughts about themes and journal styles

When sign-ups officially close, a separate private forum will be created. This forum will be accessible only to confirmed participants, the members who have successfully joined the round through the event page and appear in the final participant list.

Once the private participant forum opens, you will be able to:

• Share progress and sneak peeks of your journal spreads
• Ask questions about mailing, timelines, and next steps if your Swaptracker is unfamiliar to you
• Stay connected with your group throughout the entire journey
• Communicate about delays, postage issues, or partner updates
• Track how the journals are moving and support each other along the way
• Build a sense of community as the journals travel around the world

This Hub remains your pre-event gathering space, while the private forum becomes your official round communication center once the event starts.

If you have questions, need clarity, or simply want to chat about your ideas, feel free to post them in the hub forum. We're excited to begin this creative adventure with you!

Hi everyone!

Just a quick note: this is not a threaded forum, so replies cannot nest under specific comments. You can use the quotes of course, but will appear in one continuous list.

If there is interest (by us all) in having a chat-style option, let me know.

Other than that, feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I’m always here to help!

Hi! So happy you are joining our 2026 Sisterhood of the Traveling Journal group. We still have four spots open, so if you know any journal enthusiasts feel free to invite them to our lovely group.

I would love to know if you are new to these Round Robin style swaps or already seasoned. I am also curious to see some of your spreads I have one spread from a previous Round Robin that I absolutely adore, because my dog is in it haha

I am new to it! Very excited about it. Hoping to find a good journal to mail. Any suggestions??

I'm very new to it. I'm doing another swap like this locally and I'm still learning how it all works! I love your spread 😍 

Here's a spread I created for my other group 

I got mine from the dollar store. I just made sure it wasn't too bulky.

I got mine from Amazon, simple one. I had a hard time finding one with a softcover.

This is beautiful, the Goldfinch is my favorite, love it instantly haha 😍

We’ve officially hit our minimum number of participants for this Sisterhood of the Traveling Journal 🤗 The maximum for this round is 8, so if you know someone who might love joining in, feel free to invite them. It will be so much fun to start the new year with a fresh journal adventure together. Looking forward to it already!

Hello ladies ✨

We have officially reached the minimum number needed to start this wonderful journey in 2026, and I could not be more excited. 2026 is going to be a very special year. A brand new journal traveling among creative people, and Snail Mail Friends turning 5 at the same time. That truly feels magical.

Everyone who joins this Sisterhood of the Traveling Journal will receive a separate piece of mail from me as a heartfelt thank you once the journal event has officially started, in celebration of Snail Mail Friends turning 5!

I hope the coming days are kind to you and bring more joy than holiday stress 🤍

@Emmanuelle  I really hope you will join our group too ^_^
