hiya i'm looking for people to be pen pals, you know snail mail, so we can write to each other about Tarot, faeries, spirituality, i'm still going to be on these boards but i'd like to have pen and paper friendships blessings Pixie

Pook	08 Jun 2004
How about computer paper and printer ink? The only time I actually write things down is in my tarot notebook....and some of that is on my laptop! I don't even write my grocery list with pen and paper! But I would love to have a pen pal! :D

dolphingirl	08 Jun 2004
I would love to have a tarot penpal to share tarot and other things. Count me in! Samantha

Melissa`	08 Jun 2004
I love writting letters. I had several from another website. I wrote, they wrote, I wrote back.. but have yet to hear anything. Its sad really heh.. So if you or anyone else might be interested.. send me a pm and we can exchange addresses :D ~ Melissa

September Pixie	09 Jun 2004
Oh me too! me too! :D

Pook	09 Jun 2004
Maybe we could get a whole triangle...or square(it looks like there are four of us)..of letters going..That would be neat!

Little Hare	11 Jun 2004
hey that's a great idea moondreamer :) how would it work? (sorry the brain lights are a little foggy) blessings Pixie

Pook	12 Jun 2004
I don't know!!:laugh: We would all have to swap addresses with everyone else and if nothing else, we could always take turns doing long distance readings for each other....it would have to be questions that aren't too pressing, though...snail mail can take a while! I don't think I can work out the details right now though, it's after midnight and I've been up since about 6 this morning(I guess it's yesterday morning now). Anyone else got ideas?

Little Hare	12 Jun 2004
how about we get a thin journal book where we post it to the next person with the reading and then that person passes it on like pass the parcel and the pages could be photocopied so we could each have a journal with readings/comments etc. let me know what you think guys blessings Pixie

Pook	12 Jun 2004
That's a really good idea!! Of course, I'd probably still send out individual letters, too...I like sending postcards and stuff. Hope you know, one you give me your address, you'll be gettin junk mail!!! :laugh: Oh, BTW, I'm probably (Hopefully...*fingers crossed*) gonna be movin soon, so I may have to give you a different address once that happens....no big deal, though, I hope.

Melissa`	13 Jun 2004
I like the idea of the notebook thingy. If we wanted to each have our own we could each make one and send out. So that we would all have one. I emailed you like you pm'd and asked pixie.. but I am not sure if you received it. ~ M

Jeanette	13 Jun 2004
I think what you're all setting up is called a "round robin." Someone starts the letter (or whatever) and passes it to No. 2, who adds to the original and passes it all on to No. 3, etc.; until it finally returns to the originator. I guess it could go on indefinitely, or begin again with No. 1. Sounds like fun, best wishes for a fun time!

Sillanza	14 Jun 2004
I know I'm a little late, but if you have room for one more, I'm game. It sounds sort of like the "slam" books we used to pass around in Junior High (but less frivolous!).

hyatt	14 Jun 2004
hello - sorry about being late but I would LOVE to join. I am constantly sending letters and postcards it would be great to get one back! PLEASE COUNT ME IN! I think both ideas are great! The book to be pasted around is a wonderful idea!Maybe we could put our addresses in it so that we could also mail each other individual letters too.

Pook	14 Jun 2004
I think Melissa's idea is a good one...we should all get our own notebooks and mail them out....only requirement being you can't mail it back to the same person you got it from. Or maybe it has to go all the way around the group before you get it back. Either way, with a bunch of notebooks going around, I don't think anyone will get left out! I am really starting to love this more and more and we haven't even started yet!! :D

Pook	15 Jun 2004
So, are we ready? Should I run out and buy a new journal to start filling with tarot adventures? Please, please, please can we get started? :D

hyatt	15 Jun 2004
I'm with Moondreamer when can we start? I am soooo excited!!!! I think having multiple notebooks going around would be so much fun! Then we each have one! I am an art teacher and I just can't wait to decorate mine...and maybe yours ( just one page I promise!) Do we need a size or weight limit on these? I just can't wait! This will be so much fun!

HudsonGray	15 Jun 2004
Hi, just looked in on these posts. I notice everyone seems to be in the US except the originator, who's in Australia. Mailing a booklet to her may be expensive ($5 minimum)--make sure to check before hand what things will cost, in case you want to do letters or stay with actual booklets. Those global priority envelopes that are 7x9" can hold up to 8 pounds if you can squeeze it into them, for $5. Otherwise the price jumps to $9 for the next size envelope. Here's the US postal calculator to check things-- http://ircalc.usps.gov/weight.asp?Contents=1

Pook	15 Jun 2004
Well, since it was her idea, I guess we can pay a little extra for her creative inspiration!!! :P But for our own sakes maybe there should be a weight limit....

Little Hare	15 Jun 2004
that's sweet :) okay we can start whenever no if you want too. I'll just have to go out and get a notebook.... just remember they don't have to be huge as i know it can be hard to pay for postage. i just need to clear somethings up kay i'm a little confused :p Are we sending them around to the group or just one person? (i'm all for a group thing!!) anything to do with tarot (such as readings meanings of cards/favourite decks/tarot stories?etc) are we going to have an index thingy at the front of the books with all our names and address and the order the journals to be sent to. should there be a time limit each person has for the journal say a week? okay blessings Pixie

Pook	15 Jun 2004
I like the index idea...but witha twist....I think to make it interesting, no journal should be sent in the same order as anyone else's...unless that would get complicated. (I seem to like complicating things:D) There are seven of us now, right? :) Peace_Pixie Dolphingirl Melissa' September_Pixie Hyatt Sillanza and me....MoonDreamer :D A week limit is good.... And yeah...all thing tarot are acceptable (and some things not tarot are alright, ie divination, dream interpretations...stickers, artwork, pictures:D (for my notebook anyway!)) I only have Peace_pixie's address, so I need the rest of yours..... you can pm them to me if you want or e-mail....mel_rush@sbcglobal.net I'm gonna buy my notebook/journal tomorrow and get it ready to go!!

(I seem to like complicating things:D) heheehe i'm having a dumb moment that's a good idea but how are we going to figure it out? pixie

Pook	16 Jun 2004
How bout like this.... We all get assigned a number 1-7 (after we get the lists written down, we can lose the numbers) 1. peace_pixie 2. dolphingirl 3. Melissa' 4. September_Pixie 5. Hyatt 6. Sillanza 7. Moondreamer and then your list looks like this......your list being the one that starts with your number. 1 6 5 4 3 2 7 2 4 6 1 5 7 3 3 5 7 2 1 6 4 4 7 1 6 2 3 5 5 2 3 7 6 4 1 6 3 4 5 7 1 2 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 Ya'll can switch numbers if you want, but that means you have to switch lists too to keep it from getting too confusing. So whadya think? Sound do-able?

hyatt	16 Jun 2004
I am soooo excited I just went and got my little book today. i made sure it was small. i am so excited! I have one sight PROBLEM I am moving to Florida in about 2 weeks and I do not have my new address just yet. I should have it soon. I can still get a journal mailed to me if they are mailed soon. But I might need to send out an email when I get my new address. What crummy timing! Oh, I think it might be cool ( I think someone mentioned this) if we put a question in the book for the first person who gets the book. I guess it would need to be one that doesn't need to be answered immediatly. But it would be fun to start with a reading that was just for you in your book! Anyway, thanks for hearing my thoughts and I will take any advice anyone wants to give on the moving situation!

Pook	16 Jun 2004
Before we actually get started, I think I'll pm everyone on our little list to see if their still in...still only got two addresses...four more to go!

Melissa`	17 Jun 2004
I'm in I'm in.. sorry.. sending my address :D

Sillanza	17 Jun 2004
Whew! Got my info to Moondreamer. I love the idea of a question or thought as a catalyst for the next recipient! Thanks for all your organizational thoughts, peace pixie! They all sound great. What size/type notebook are we talking about? The one I use at home is the standard college-ruled spiral bound thing. Not pretty, but useful.

hyatt	18 Jun 2004
hello pen-pals! I just want to make sure I have this right. My list is 237641 and that means that I will send my book to #2 or will I be receiving #2's book? Just want to make sure I do this right! Are all the addreses in yet?

Pook	18 Jun 2004
Ummm.... you send it to number 2. Just don't forget to add your own address to the top of the index in the front of the book. That way you don't get skipped by your own book!! And no, we don't have all of the addresses yet...still waiting for the last two. Hopefully really soon!

Melissa`	18 Jun 2004
So.. did you guys decide on a theme to do the notebooks in.. or each person starts off their books the way they want then send it? :)

Pook	18 Jun 2004
Well, It's your book, so I would think it can have any theme you want. I doubt we all have the same mind set about certain things, so they probably would end up being quite different anyway! I'm gonna decorate my book with pretty tarot pictures (maybe) or stickers or something. Depends on my mood when I work on it. I do really like the idea of asking a question for everyone else to do a reading for in the beginning just to get the ball rolling.

Little Hare	19 Jun 2004
ooooh i got my notebook today and can't wait to decorate it :) it's all so exciting [quote]I do really like the idea of asking a question for everyone else to do a reading for in the beginning just to get the ball rolling[quote] i like :)

hyatt	20 Jun 2004
I worked on my book this weekend. A little decorating here and there and I am pleased. I am ready to send her off on her journey! I started a tarot story in the back of mine and have the question in the front. This will be so exciting! I think that Melissa sends me her book first, I was wondering since I am moving if she could go ahead and send it to make sure I get it in time. I think I will PM her too. Sorry to rush things I just want to make sure I get the first entry in time. But then again if we do not have everyone's addresses I don't want to mess up the order either if it has to be changed.

Melissa`	20 Jun 2004
No problem, hyatt :) I'm replying to your pm now..

Sillanza	21 Jun 2004
I found a notebook today and bought some padded envelopes to boot (how convenient that they're sold in a pack of 6). I hope I have time to put in a little something before it sails out of my hands! Very excited now ...

Pook	21 Jun 2004
I didn't buy a new notebook. Instead I decided to use this fat little pink one that I already had but haven't used for anything yet. I was saving it for something special, but didn't know what for until now. There is already an illustration of the tarot cabinet I ahve been working on in the first couple of pages, but since it has to do with tarot, I'm leaving it where it is. BTW, we're almost ready...just waiting on one more address!! Yea! Can't wait!

hyatt	21 Jun 2004
Hello pen pals! Got the PM that dolphin girl is out. Ok, so that changes the order. It does not affect how excited I am about this fun little project. Brian and I have narrowed our options down to 2 places. Two places that are actually available!!! So we will know in the next few days about our address - hopefully! I can't wait to see everyone's journals!

Pook	22 Jun 2004
I think we're about ready to roll! There will be six of us..... 1. peace_pixie 2. Melissa` 3. September_pixie 4. Hyatt 5. Sillanza 6. MoonDreamer so there is a new list........... 1 6 5 4 3 2 2 4 6 5 1 3 3 5 1 6 2 4 4 1 2 3 6 5 5 2 3 1 4 6 6 3 4 2 5 1 That ok with everyone? (I made sure Melissa` would still be sending to you, Hyatt, so it would be alright that she sent you hers already, but I don't think that you are mailing to the same person first on your list...hope that's ok)

Sillanza	22 Jun 2004
So ... it looks like we're just waiting on one, maybe two addresses? Cool! I hope I get a chance to include a reading with the new deck I just ordered before we get going. The suspense is terrible ... I hope it will last. -- Willy Wonka

hyatt	23 Jun 2004
OK, I think I will know my address by Thursday or Friday. Pretty exciting stuff, since the movers come on MONDAY!

Pook	30 Jun 2004
So, after a long break, are we ready to go? I would like to get my book in the mail....anyone else? Hey, Hyatt...u got your new address? Are you all moved in yet? Probably not, I know how moving can be...exciting until you have to unpack everything! lol And September_Pixie, I still dont have your address....dont know if you sent it to anyone else, but I cant stand the wait any longer...plz hurry!

cricket	01 Jul 2004
I would kinda like to get in on this, but with things as they are now I wouldn't be able to afford shipping on all of these things. :( Would it be ok to jump in at a later time, maybe in a couple of months when some of the bills are paid off?

Pook	02 Jul 2004
I personally dont mind, but I guess everyone would ahve to agree. The only thing I can sugggest is that if and when you do get involved, it would have to be during a week when everone has their original journals back so we add you to the rotation somewhere........

hyatt	06 Jul 2004
sorry i've been out a while! i mailed my book to Australia! How exciting. I got the book that was sent to me barely in the nick of time. i had to chase down the post woman as I was leaving. But I did get it and have added my entry plus a little decoration!

Sillanza	07 Jul 2004
Don't we still need to add hyatt's new address to all of our books before they're sent out? Anyway, I'm ready to go at any time. Should I send mine off?

Little Hare	07 Jul 2004
hi hyatt i just got your journal in tonight and i'm excited!!! i'm ready to send my journal off on monday but who do i send it tooo? i'm confused due to the lists i know i'm no1 but whos no2????

Little Hare	07 Jul 2004
CRAP!!! i just realised i've lost everyones addresss ooops!

Melissa`	07 Jul 2004
peace_pixie, I believe you would send your book to MoondreameR first. :) hyatt, thanks for the decoration - lol I was pushed a bit with time and everything else going on that I picked that journal up and decided to make a cover for it while its being shipped around. :) Sorry you had to chase the mail lady down! ~ Melissa

Pook	07 Jul 2004
Should I post the list for 5 people? It looks like we are all just waiting on that one last address (except Peace_pixie who's now waiting on all of them- lol :D) It will go like this........ peace_pixie your book will go from you to Melissa`, to September_Pixie(Maybe), then Hyatt, Sillanza, then me, and I'll send it back to you. I'll pm you the addresses again pixie..

hyatt	07 Jul 2004
no problem melissa. i think you will be pleased with my decorations. sorry if i made you rush - it was just one of those situations!

Sillanza	07 Jul 2004
OK -- I'm sending mine tonight. It should be to you by the weekend, Melissa`. I hope you have September_Pixie's address, since it's the one that's missing, and that's who it goes to next! Update: Don't bother -- it's off in the mail!

September Pixie	08 Jul 2004
I pm'd 3 ppl my address last time I was pm'd for it, I just resent my address to MoonDreameR & Melissa, so now my question is, WHO do I send my journal to? Cause I dont have their address either :)

September Pixie	08 Jul 2004
Got it all figured out now :D Thanks! Oh, I dont know how many of you have seen this site, but I am gonna post it to give you all some inspiration :) http://www.1000journals.com

hyatt	11 Jul 2004
If anyone doesn't have my address i'll PM you with it. I've been without an internet connection for 2 weeks now but i have finally gotten it hooked up here in florida. in this crazy time i received a journal right before i left town keep it exactly a week and then mailed it. i hope that my over zealousness hasn't caused any problems. i PROMISE not to get ahead again. sorry!!! and i did mail mine to australia about two weeks ago and i think it took a little less than a week to get there. the shipping was under five dollars - just in case anyone wanted to know.

September Pixie	13 Jul 2004
I just wanted to post and let everyone know that I just recieved Moon Dreamer's journal today :) I have just finished reading the 1st entry and am axniously waiting to add to it!! This journal will go from me to you Hyatt, I will post another note when I am ready to send off! :)

Pook	13 Jul 2004
WOW...that was fast....just sent it off yesterday. But I paid the extra 10 cents for priority mail, so that must've been why. BTW, the illustration of my tarot cabinet was already in that book before I decided to use it for this exchange, but since it goes along with the general theme of things, I decided to leave it in there. I got Melissa`s journal on Saturday from Hyatt and will be sending it off to Sillanza in California in a couple of days. (Also, I added September_Pixie's address to the front of it.)

Sillanza	14 Jul 2004
Cool! Can't wait! Melissa`, did the journal I sent arrive safe and sound?

Melissa`	14 Jul 2004
Quote: Originally posted by Sillanza Cool! Can't wait! Melissa`, did the journal I sent arrive safe and sound? I did! Two days ago I believe? Anyhow, I've been thinking of a topic to add. I just finished my card for the tarot project and will be able to focus on it later this week then send it off! :) ~ Melissa

hyatt	14 Jul 2004
Excellent news September Pixie! I can't wait to get another one!

hyatt	20 Jul 2004
So how is everyone enjoying the first round?

darwinia	22 Jul 2004
Hi all, I have been enjoying your posts on this. It sounds very much like an Altered Book Round Robin. I have a couple of books on decorating altered books (I have to use my art supplies somehow hyatt!), but because of the expense of mailing from Canada I never joined an actual round robin with a book or journal. I did join a swap once for a Tip In. "Tip in" is an old bookbinders term for gluing in a single sheet into a book. The one I was involved in had a Spring theme and colours and you made 4 decorated pages about 5.5 x 8.5 inches, and got 4 in return. I used Canson Mi-Teintes paper in soft blue and peach and added paints, collage and some printed things from the computer which I had first sprayed with Krylon fixative. Other people did stamping, 3D objects, glazing etc. and it was so interesting to compare everyone's style. Neat idea, glad you're having a good time. I liked the idea of putting a question in the front of the journal and some stories in the back. I have a couple of journals I use for tarot--particularly the small hardcover journal that came with the Hallowquest deck. Is anyone able to post scans of your work, I'd love to see the group's efforts? Good on you for actually doing this.

Sillanza	22 Jul 2004
... from MoonDreameR! I can't believe it's already been through 3 sets of hands! How wonderful. Yes, I'm enjoying it a lot, so far! I'll try to let it go onto its next destination soon ... :)

September Pixie	25 Jul 2004
MoonDreamer's journal is about to be shipped to the next person in line! :D

hyatt	25 Jul 2004
So how about an update? Where are those books and is everyone having a good time doing this? I think I am about to receive one this week or so from September Pixie. I have sent Melissa's to Australia after working on it. I really enjoyed working on hers. I can't wait to read how the story ends that I started in my journal. What fun!

blackroseivy	25 Jul 2004
I didn't understand what the thread was about until I finally checked & now it's too late! - Or is it? Someone let me know!

hyatt	25 Jul 2004
I don't know if it is too late? You might have to ask the others or let them chime in. It seems like we could work you into the rotation somehow!

blackroseivy	25 Jul 2004
Just PM me & let me know, people! :D <- hopeful grin

Melissa`	01 Aug 2004
I just wanted to tell you guys I will be leaving for a week in a few minutes. I am sending Sillanzas journal off tomorrow while I'm away.. so if I receive any other journal I won't be able to work on it until next week. ~ Melissa

September Pixie	01 Aug 2004
Perhaps we could send the finished books off to danubhe, that way the addresses inked in the begning wouldn't have to be changed? But danubhe's journal could be sent to the person who doesn't have one currently? :) Just a suggestion.

blackroseivy	01 Aug 2004
If someone would just tell me how this works! Do I give someone my address?? :confused:

September Pixie	01 Aug 2004
danubhe, I would PM MoonDreamR, I think she is the one who set this up, not sure though :)

blackroseivy	01 Aug 2004
Ok, will do! :)

September Pixie	05 Aug 2004
Sillanza, Are you ready for me to ship this off to you yet? :) & Hyatt please let me know when you recieve MoonDreameR's journal! :D

September Pixie	05 Aug 2004
Since this is a community project, I'd love to see the outcomes of these journals, I can scan mine, once its returned, if no one has any objections? Journals are private so I could make the post with the link to the images like only up for 2 weeks or something? :) Anyone else have suggestions? Also, danubhe, did you ever get added to the list? If not, I have some ideas for another group project if you missed out this round :)

Pook	05 Aug 2004
Is anyone else wondering when they will recieve thier next journal? So far the only ones I have seen are mine and Melissa's, which came to me from Hyatt. It could be that I am impatient but I am dying to get my hands on another journal.

hyatt	06 Aug 2004
I understand being impatient....I am too. Oh, it is a restless bad qualtity:) I am waiting on my second journal. I think in the beginning we had talked about having a week with each journal. Is that too short of a time? I think that it would be good if we got on some sort of loose schedule. It's been over a month since I have had one. I do understand people that have very busy lives and sometimes you need to add just the right touch of something. What do you guys think?

darwinia	06 Aug 2004

September Pixie	07 Aug 2004
All the people interested in the new project (understand that this is only taking place once the journals are complete) please post and let me know where you are from? I'd like to see how many are interested before we start to organize it :)

blackroseivy	07 Aug 2004
Hello, I live in Sayre, PA - zip 18840.

September Pixie	07 Aug 2004
Some Details, and I am open to suggestions :) http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29789

hyatt	08 Aug 2004
I am up for another one!

Satori	08 Aug 2004
Hello journal babes, I'm in, but I still need to go read all the threads....I'm a sahm, and while I don't have tons of time to journal etc. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for me to not only get serious about journaling again, but to see what other tarot mavens are up to!

hyatt	09 Aug 2004
I just received a journal today from September Pixie! She did an awesome job!!!!I think Moon Dreamer is going to be really pleased when she gets this one back! I can't wait to add to September Pixie's great art and writings! I hope everyone is enjoying this experience. I was wondering what state or country is my journal in? Moon Dreamer's is here, safe and sound in the Florida heat!

September Pixie	10 Aug 2004
I am glad it arrived safe and sound to you hyatt :D Mine is either in or in route to Florida too! :D I am really pleased you enjoyed the artwork, I hope MoonDreameR will be happy with it :) Aren't you kinda sad that we wont get the chance to peek at everyone's finished journals? :) I am still willing to scan mine once I get it back, if no one minds? :)

Pook	10 Aug 2004
You weren't planning on sending them back around for another round? I kinda thought we would keep it up intil we were all tired of it!! That way, we could see how everyone responded to our posts in others' journals and have a chance to comment on it or whatever. Am I the only one that thought we were in this for awhile?

September Pixie	10 Aug 2004
I didn't know we planned to do this around twice, or i would have written the addresses again in a longer order.. I guess we could :)

blackroseivy	10 Aug 2004
Am I in this too, or not? I'm not sure now what's going on. Do I give my address to someone?

Pook	10 Aug 2004
I dont see why not, danubhe. Just PM your address to me i guess and I'll get it out to everyone. I'm afraid I'll have to revamp the mailing order list though...give me a day or 2 ok?

blackroseivy	11 Aug 2004
Sure! I guess I have to journal for everyone on the list, right?

Sillanza	12 Aug 2004
Sign me up for another round. It's been fun to see the different direction each journal is taking!

blackroseivy	12 Aug 2004
Since I'm going away for the next couple of weeks or so, I think I'd better wait 'til the next round!

September Pixie	14 Aug 2004
I just got Sillanza's journal from Melissa' :) It arrived here safe and sound! :)

Melissa`	17 Aug 2004
Glad it arrive safely! I was hoping when I got back from vacation I would have another journal waiting on me.. but I didn't. :(

Little Hare	19 Aug 2004
hi guys sorry about the long time i have been extremly ill! sorry to take so long to get back i have two journals and when i getthe money i'll send them off i haven't written anything in them i hope you will accept my apologies blessings Pixie

hyatt	24 Aug 2004
ok, i'm almost finished with moondreamer's journal. i am really enjoying this project! i hope everyone is having as much fun as I am!

Pook	24 Aug 2004
Well, now I feel kinda bad. :( I really was trying to stick to the week time limit with Melissa's journal nad didnt put in as much as I wanted to. It seems like everyone else has kept thiers longer if they werent finished. Dont worry Melissa....I'll make it up to you on the next round!!!

September Pixie	25 Aug 2004
I have Sillanza's journal all ready to send out to someone else, but the next person on the list is peace_pixie and if she has 2 journals already should I just wait for her to send or just mail it?

hyatt	26 Aug 2004
my journal is...wait ok it's really moondreamer's journal but anyway, i am going to mail it today to melissa. she is number for this journal. keep you eye out for it!

blackroseivy	27 Aug 2004
This may be a dumb question, but I'm new to this & want to do this right when my time comes: What sorts of things do people put into each other's journals?? Is it all writing, or images, both, etc.? I'm just wondering what they look like! I only just bought a journal on EBay & it's lined, which I *don't* like but I will use it to write in, I guess! :confused:

Pook	27 Aug 2004
You can put whatever you like in my journal, danubhe!! I like pictures and poems and drawings and stickers and new interpretation ides....whatever you can come up with as long as its related to tarot. As for sending Silanza'a journal to peace_pixie, :confused: maybe we should try and e-mail her and see if she's up to doing another right away, and if not, send it to the person after her, i guess. **Can't wait to get my hands on another journal**

hello guys! As for danubhe, I have been doing a little artwork in the journals, some writing about meanings, etc. In my personal journal I started a story with a card and I CAN'T wait to see how it ends when I get it back! I put a recipe in the last journal I had. Just what ever you want and what ever inspires you at the time. I just sent Moondreamer's journal to Melissa a day or so ago, I sent it 2 day because it's wasn't much more to do so, I bet you will get it by Monday. I was wondering where my journal was on it's path? Who has it? Just wondering.........

The e-bay bid fell through - I'll have to pay for one at Amazon, they have some nice unlined ones, although the e-bay one was Tarot-themed & that's what I wanted - eek, better get one soon!! :eek:

I would like to double-check to make sure that it's ok to put in illustrations like tipped-in plates with archival glue, or would that be on an individual basis? I have a lot of art to share - I have a cyber-deck crying out to be viewed that is partially finished. I am hoping to paint the images. I want opinions on my art thus far; I also am working on a *genuinely* Celtic-themed deck which is soft colored-pencil drawings of Celtic relics. I hope that people like them! :D

i'm sure that is fine. I have just taped some illustrations in the journals and decorated around them.

This is awesome! I'd love to be in this too.... but I'm in Australia. I'm not sure about US postal charging, but I know that from here to there, if a package is under 2 cm in height it can be posted as a large letter, rather than a parcel, which makes a huge difference in cost. I'm not sure where you currently are in your latest "round", but I wouldn't mind joining in at some stage, when it's a good time :)

September Pixie	01 Sep 2004
Well, i pm'd peace_pixie and havent heard back yet... once I hear from her I will either mail the journal onto the next person or to her, I will post where the journal is going so that Sillanza can track the progress of her journal.. still waiting on responce.......... :)

Sillanza	01 Sep 2004
Hello, all. I'm finally back on the journal track. I wrote in September_pixie's journal a while ago now. Since then, there's been horrific flu, a small flood, visiting in-laws, and a rough start to the fall school year! In summary, September_pixie's journal is (finally) on it's way to peace_pixie.

hyatt	01 Sep 2004
Melissa, has the journal I sent arrived yet?

September Pixie	03 Sep 2004
is peace pixie still a part of this? I still havent recieved word about shipping this journal off to her... :/

DewDrop	03 Sep 2004
To peace_pixie and Moondreamer :D I think this sounds like a realy great idea, too. But why make it difficult. Just make a list that can be accesseble at net: 1. Everyone gets a number, ofcourse in the order. Just like the list thats already have been started. 2. You start to send your booklet to the next on the list and when the last one on the existing list gets a booklet, they send it to the first one on the list. In this way anyone can sign on at any time :D An the mailing lists would be: 123456789 234567891 345678912 456789123 567891234 678912345 789123456 891234567 912345678 ......and the new ones just adding the names on the list that gets longer and longer, and if you wanna get of the list, you just delete your name of the list and sends all the booklets you have and you wont get any more booklets. HOW does this sound? The only question i have is: Where shall the "Tarot pens list" be on the net???

DewDrop	03 Sep 2004
Ops...the answer to the last question is ofcourse in the post from moondreamer at page 3 in this tread. (If not, who is to be responsable for that list???) Se that page and there you have the list :D

Pook	05 Sep 2004
No, I am sad to have to post that peace_pixie will be out until we hear otherwise, I guess. Please dont send anymore her way.....just send them to the next person on the list....:(

Sillanza	07 Sep 2004
Finally, my procrastination has paid off! September_pixie, I never managed to send your journal to peace_pixie last week, so I will send it to the next person on the list today (that's you, MoonDreameR!). peace_pixie, hope you're back in the loop soon!

Pook	11 Sep 2004
Just wanted to let you know that I recieved September_Pixie's journal in yesterday's post! Can't wait to start working on it!!

September Pixie	12 Sep 2004
Great :) I will send off Sillanza's to the next person in line.. Thanks for letting me know where mine was at :) I really am excited to get it back!!

Sillanza	20 Sep 2004
Just thought I'd better mention ... I haven't gotten a new journal in a while (since September_pixie's). Is one (hopefully) on the way?

Melissa`	24 Sep 2004
Just an update.. I have been working on Moondreamers journal.. I haven't forgotten about you guys.. matter of fact its sitting in front of me right now :) I've just been really busy getting a business off the ground.. hope everyone forgives me and hope everyone is still enjoying this! Blessings, Melissa

Pook	24 Sep 2004
I have an update, too. I just sent September_Pixie's journal off to Melissa' today. But I forgot to take my ID to the Post Ofiice :| and they wouldn't take a check or my check card without it, and I only had a little cash, so it is coming via (the much cheaper) media mail way. It'll probably take a week to get there. Hope it's not a big deal.

Melissa`	24 Sep 2004
Not a problem for me, if that is what you mean.. that will give me just enough time to finish yours and send it off to the next person.. :D Now I know I have to budget my time better.. hahhaa.. you just gave me the best nudge. :P Blessings, Melissa

Sillanza	27 Oct 2004
Just keeping this on everyone's radar ... I haven't received a journal since mid-September. Is anyone still sending them?

Melissa`	21 Feb 2005
I was curious if anyone knows what happened with this? I never received my journal back and I have no clue who even has it. I did have to journals, Moondreamer and Sept. Pixie, both of which I sent back to them back in Nov/Dec. Hopefully someone will see this and know whats up. :)
