    Looks like that book is really moving around! I can't wait to get it! I will have to plan a day trip or two for really cool pictures for the book.

    If you are sending the book to from state to state you can always send it media mail...it is very cheap. I use that all time when I ship books for ebay.

    I agree! What's a little postage between friends! I think this is awesome! I can't wait to get my stuff ready.

    Oh man, now we need the book again! The first people filled in the info. asked about, and put postcards, so that's what we did. It'd be nice to see pictures of the people too though!

    I am wondering where I am on the list, too. We will be leaving for Florida in close to 2 weeks...and will be gone for 2 weeks. I hope we get it before then...if not, then we'll have to wait until after we get back!!

    I'd like to see everything everyone put in, so I'd be willing to pay postage for both.

    It would also be nice if when it was all finished to put it on a webpage? Bravehost has free pages and hosting, but i think that is if you only get a small number of visitors. Not sure.

    We did what you did, Deena, but I was thinking back to our plans for that Flat Stanley project, how it would be fun to plan things with it like Ava Rose said. Either way will be fine, I'm sure.

    I think we thought of sending it around again, so everyone could see what everyone else put in. If we do that, I'd add in a picture.

    Maybe those that are doing it now can add a picture in?

    Maybe I am wrong...I was thinking it was like a scrapbook page. Nevermind me...I think big sometimes...it is the overachiever in my or the fact I like to simply out do everyone. LOL. Just kidding. Seriously, I was thinking it was like a scrapbook. I will know more when I get it. I am glad I will have the benefit of seeing so many entries before I put mine in.

    That's the way mine with the stuffed animal dog (Chinook) was. People went places and took pictures with the dog here and there, then scrapbooked it. That was nice, but it got huge, which was hard on people paying postage costs to send it on! (I didn't thank that part through thoroughly enough!) It also took longer because people had to go to the places, take the pictures, get them printed and do the scrapbooking. It worked though, and we LOVE the results! ;)

    This way is smaller and much cheaper to send around! It's a neat one, I like it!

    If someone else wanted to to it the more scrapbooky way, it's possible to do it with these smaller books, so it wouldn't get so big. Someone else wanted to do one like mine, and I joined in on hers. She sent disposable cameras around and had people journal a little on index cards, and put down the numbers of the pictures they took, and when it got back to her, she was going to stick the pictures in sleeves with the cards. It was a neat idea! I never heard what happened with it though.

    I'm just saying that there are other ways of doing it, so if anyone else were to want to do one, this way or another way, I bet it'd work out well also!

    That's a great idea! I have never made a web page before though, so would need lots of help
