Wow! Wonderful suggestions and unfortunately we have to go with one....

if we did decide to have each card signed by someone who circulated it, then that would automatically limit how long it circulated------to 78 people, or 80 if you signed the two extra cards, too. I think Jeanette should sign and date the box to get it going and maybe the last user sign and date the back at the end of the circulaton?

It just occurred to me that the deck will be like the Fool, setting off on a journey, and each of us will be a stop along the way! This gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
If we leave the sign-up open, his journey may never end! LOL I originally thought to stop the sign-up at 100 people. Stopping at 78 would have more meaning but I still like the idea of stopping at 100. So what if he gets side-tracked along the way.
When one Fool's journey is complete, we'll begin again with a new deck! Any final thoughts on that?
The Journal:
As much as I Love the idea of a journal traveling with the deck, it just isn't going to be cost effective. As so many suggested a sticky thread is going to be best and then if someone wants a copy they can print it out.
Signing the Cards:
Signing blank cards is a good idea but again, it will add bulk/weight to the deck. I think signing the back of the card adds more to it. I was thinking two signatures per card, if needed. If, by the time the deck comes around to us and our favorite is taken, then we'll just have to pick another favorite
I'm going to pull all this together and post a sign-up thread either later this evening or in the morning.
Thanks for all the input and making it possible for it to happen!
