Notebook Idea

[unforth]

So, a friend of mine had an idea:

"So. I have this notebook. Wood covers. Elegant pages. only problem is, it is blank. And I am notorious for not doing anything with the notebook/journals I collect.

"Would anyone be interested in passing the book around, with the idea that everyone who gets it, leaves something in it (be it art, writing, photos, a flower you found outside and liked, recipe, whathaveyou) and mails it on to the next person. I am willing to do the legwork of sorting out a mailing tree and keeping everyone organized. I am also willing to upload images of all the filled pages when we are done. I am willing to help with postage if folks are unsure about that end of things. I dont want to limit this to the USA.

"Spread this around. I dont have to know everyone who might be interested. If people did this idea I will set up a community to keep us all in one place and keep in touch."

I think this is a neat idea; I'm in - if anyone reading this is interested, go and comment over on the original post: fireun's LJ.

We do this on my forum occasionally. If people don't flake out you can get some awesome books in the end.

Yeah, I'm thinking about imitating fireun, if things go well. I mean, the worst that happens is that you're out a journal...

there was a great moleskin being mailed around a few years back, and somewhere in there it was mailed out and the person it was going to had moved. Book was lost :/

That's a real pity. :( I'd hope that the folks involved in this one would pass on new contact info if necessary...I think they're mostly friends of fireun, which'll hopefully help....

There was a huge website doing this a few years back. My brother and I both signed up but never got the books. Who knows why. I'd like to do it though- would be neat! Thanks for sharing. :)

Glad you're joining it, I think it's gonna be fun. I've never been involved in something like this meself....
