I was watching one of my scrapbooking shows, and saw a great idea! One of us ladies or gentlemen, will create a small album, don't do anything to it except make a 2 page or 1 page LO of themself. Then send it out to another member of the group, and they will add their layout, and so on until its been to pretty much all of us in the group! And as each person gets it, they get to look over all the previous pages, and create more and just have lots of fun!!Sound like a good idea? I think it would be neat, kinda like the where's George dollar thing. lol Cool anywho I think we should do this!

What a great idea! Like those circle journals, I think? I'd like to participate! :-)

This sounds great! I'd like to join. It sounds like something that would fit in one of those new 8"by8" albums.

its called a circle journal.. I've done a few of them already..... they are fun!
LOL don't or didn't we have circle journals that have been travelling for
2-3 years and that have only made it to 6-7 people? Those things always get stalled somewhere! Tabitha you were in the last round of those. Have you gotten yours back yet? Just wondering! It's a great idea, but you have to have the patience of a saint and you do need to consider the cost of shipping the book around as it gets bigger and bigger, LOL!M-C
.true, or you need to have a host that keeps everyones phone numbers and stuff and emails people constantly to make sure they are progressing. I've had ONE CJ fail out of the 7 I've hosted (and everyone got their stuff back it just failed). Out of the over 20 I've been in 18 finished.
You just have to keep your ducks in a row...
OR
You can make 10 identical pages in one size, send them to the host, and then the host mails them all out to everyone, and WHAM, everyone gets a CJ that just didn't circle.. LOL
I have a Circle Journal out there someplace, and yes, our journals have been stalled for awhile. I love seeing what everyone is doing and it also inspires me to create as well. I think the mistake we made is we have allowed too much time ..I always try to get mine out to the next person (Lori Shay) within the week. I just put everything aside and do it! It is a great idea but I think I will not participate since I am in a Circle already. It is fun and so neat to see what everyone has done.

I requested to have mine sent back to me. So I now have it in my possession. In about 2 1/2 years I only had 5 entries in it. The entries that are in there are great though.
