Description: I wanted to create two very special journals in record time! These journals originally had entries made by invitation only, but now the second copy is available for all journallers to participate.
I made the journals for a Bookmooch journalling friend who suddenly and unexpectedly found herself caring for three grandchildren, domestic upheaval and no computer.
I wanted to think of some way of helping her if I could. I don't know the ages of the children or whether they are f or m. Please assume they are in an environment that is very rural, without easy access to facilities and shops, and without cash resources. The journal ideas should be to use imagination and things found around one commonly.
So, instead of adding a new journal and sending it on its merry way to arrive in a few year's time, I invited a small group of BM friends and BMJournalling friends to post or email ideas for the journal directly to me.

Journal 1: XXX (unknown number) things to do (cost-free or extremely cheaply) with children on a wet, windy day.

Journal 2: XXX (unknown number) things to do (cost-free or extremely cheaply) with children on a dry, sunny day.

As usual I created Journal 2 first, and am busy collating Journal 1!
Contributions had to reach in a week from my request.
Lucky journallers who are not 'virtually' making entries, get two weeks to make entries!

So 48 (and counting) things to do (cost-free / extremely cheaply), with children, on a dry, sunny day is born...

Pages can be added as needed, and I will rebind to accommodate them, or start a Part 2 as appropriate. Please keep it circulating!
When I came to bind it, it took the largest binder I had to bind the original volume. To leave space for journallers entries and make it light to post, I have rebound it as two parts with blank pages in the second half.
I fear wet and windy might have to be 3 volumes!
Reviews: tennantfamily (United Kingdom) (2010/04/01):
This is an unusual journal in that it was really completed by the contributions that came in to me by email, but to give other journallers a chance to add their ideas I split it into two halves which have become Volume 1 and 2. They have separate numbers and different contents.
I have been amazed at the ingenuity and imagination of journal participants and the variety of offerings usually preceded with an apologetic "You'll probably have had this already, but in both Wet and Dry journals only three ideas were offered twice! 48 is the number of separate ideas offered by the original contributors whose entries are printed and bound.

Bookmooch Journal Library Charity (Heard and Mc Donald Islands) (2014/03/29):
This is a BMJournal not a regular book. You should be a friend of the BM Library bmjl http://bookmooch.com/m/bio/bmjl if you wish to join the project. (type bmjl into the friend request block) Journals are not yours to keep. You mooch it, make an entry within two weeks of receiving it and relist it by the same number. Before sending it on make sure the person requesting is also a friend of bmjl by checking their friend list.
