Update...

2008-03-24T01:53:00Z

So i'm just poking my head in. I've been a bad mod and truthfully have forgotten about this community.

So my question. Is anyone still doing this? Is anyone still sending scrapbooks around? Has anyone gotten a scrapbook back?

I have 2 out there somewhere. Sadly the people who i knew had them last wont return my messages.

Let me know... :) And sorry for the neglect.

Love and Romance Journal

I'm looking for Romantic ideas. What have you done to romance your mate, or has your mate done something truly romantic. I want to know all about it. I'd like to see love letters, poetry, quotations, anything goes. (Just keep it clean)

Circle journals nearly finished!!

2007-10-28T18:56:31Z

Okay, both my journals (Scrapping Techniques and 'Words Are All I Have To Take Your Breath Away) are with the last person - zionspoet. Not long before they return to me. Crazy! I think it's been two years since I sent them out! I can't wait to receive them and scan all the pages so you can all see how they turned out.

zionspoet - could you PLEASE let me know if you've received either of my circle journals? I know at least one of them has been sent to you, so if you haven't recieved them, they've been lost in the post. :( Please let me know!

Kiwi Travel Circle Journal

2007-09-06T06:48:42Z

Here is a page I made for the Kiwi Travel Circle Journal:

And here are some pics of Kiwi in London taken by nzmaudlet that I haven't had a chance to scrap yet:

Scrapping Techniques & Words Are All I Have To Take Your Breath Away

2007-06-24T03:23:49Z

It looks like the Scrapping Techniques circle journal is with the last person! Anyone else want to join in before it comes back to me?

And the Words Are All I Have To Take Your Breath Away journal is just about to go to the last person, so any takers on that one? Poor zionspoet ended up the last person on both journals and will be stuck sending them both back to New Zealand. Sorry zionspoet!

It's funny actually, how much I've learned since I sent those circle journals out. It's been about two years (two years?!) and my scrapping has evolved so much since then!! When they do return, I'll post pics for you all. Ooh, how exciting!!

So, where are all the circle journals???

I know the Kiwi Travel one is with nzmaudlet in London, England.

The Because Words Are All I Have To Take Your Breath Away one is with crazybabyinlove in Florida, USA. I can't get hold of house_of_bone to get her postal address. If I don't hear from her soon, we might have to skip straight to zionspoet.

Who has the Scrapping Techniques one? Is it still with snickeringange1?

Kiwi Travel Scrapbook - update

2007-04-16T01:33:34Z

I was staying in Kuaotunu on New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula for 10 days - the Easter weekend and the first week of the school holidays. So I took some pics of the kiwi and thought I'd share them.

These are taken overlooking Gray's Beach, near Kuaotunu. I can't decide which pic to use! Suggestions welcome!

These pics were taken from the deck (verandah) of the bach (holiday home) that we were staying in. So they're overlooking Kuaotunu. Again, I can't decide which one I like best, but I'm leaning towards the colour one, rather than the sepia one. But suggestions welcome...

I was trying to take some as we were driving through various towns, but they didn't turn out. It's really hard to get far enough away from the car window to get a decent shot of the kiwi and the scenery!! I did get this shot as we were driving towards Tairua... Not sure if it's worth using though...

I want to take some shots in West Auckland and maybe central Auckland, then next stop is probably London, England! Eek, how exciting!! :D

Kiwi Travel Circle Journal

2007-04-02T03:33:51Z

seestephgo gave me the idea (thanks!) and I'll be sending my toy kiwi around the world. What I'd like is for you to take him to various landmarks, places of interest etc in your part of the world and photograph him there. Then scrap those photos with journalling about his visit to your part of the world. I'll start, as I'm heading to NZ's Coromandel Peninsula (to a lovely area called Kuaotunu) over Easter.
I'd like the participants to send the kiwi on to the next person, then mail me their finished pages. And either the participant or I will post the photos/pages up here, to keep interest alive...not to mention this community! :)
Anyone interested? I'll probably include my mother (in South Korea) and my sister (in London), so there's three of us to start with. Any takers? It'll be 12x12 and there is no limit on the number of participants. Register your interest by commenting on this entry.

_circle_journal @ 2007-03-12T02:09:00

2007-03-12T07:16:34Z

I'd like to make a different kind of circle journal...

First, I'll explain what it's for:

Early last week, my grandfather called in tears saying that he had called 911 and that my grandmother wasn't breathing. We met my them at the hospital and she's been there ever since. They moved her last night, after a bad coughing fit, into the ICU and had to put her on an oxygen bypass machine this evening.

She has a condition called Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD brought on my cigarette smoking. The 50+ years of smoking has caused her to develop asthma and chronic bronchitis, which has slowly deteriorated her lungs. She will have to be on an oxygen tank for the rest of her life. She's worried, scared, and just really down about the entire ordeal. She's upset and really needs something to help keep her going.

This is where the circle "journal" comes in.

I'm going to buy a journal and I'd like to send it out to as many people as would like to participate. I'll do the spread on the first few pages, but after that, it's free reign for you guys. I want it to be kind of a "get well card" journal filled with pages and pages of hopes for her to get well and inspiring quotes and things like that. I think she'd love reading something like that and would be especially touched that strangers would take the time to do it for her. Also, if people are interested, when you get the book, you could pass it around to friends and family and allow them to do pages in it before sending it to the next place it so that it will thicken it up a bit :)

If anyone's interested, please comment asap, as I'd really like to be able to get the book back by the first of May, but still have a lot of pages.

------------

Because of the amount of interest, I made a community specifically for this and the other similar requests I made. Please feel free to check it out here:

Pet Scrapbook!

2007-02-10T21:36:44Z

Okay, heres the sign up for the pet circle scrapbook. Comment if you would like to be added, and please mail your mail and addresses to greenmm921@yahoo.com

Thank you! I am super excited about this circle!

New Circle!

2007-02-08T21:09:12Z

I was wondering if there are still people interested in doing the circle journal? I wanted to host one of there were people still interested... no one seems to be involved in this community anymore... :( Anyway I was thinking of doing one on pets! Let me know if anyone is interested!

Hello? Is there anyone there? Hellooooo??

2006-11-09T03:26:25Z

Hey guys, this community seems to have dwindled away! Where are all the books? Anyone want to start any new ones? I like this community, don't let it die!!

I made pages for the 'Your place in the world' one because I was so excited about it coming round. I think that was over a year ago. It hasn't got round to me yet. My two were both definitely sent out over a year ago. Last I heard they were still in circulation though, and neither had actually gone missing, so that's definitely a good thing.

What do we need to do to get this community going again? Start some more books? Finish some so we can post pics of completed, successful books? I'm not the moderator, but I really enjoyed participating in the ones I have so far, and I'd like to do more. Can we get this community going again??

???

2006-09-01T05:09:57Z

Anyone out there know where "When I Wish Upon a Star" is?? I signed up for it almost a year ago, and was supposed to be 4th in line, but I never got it...is it lost in space?

MOD UPDATE

2006-08-29T18:34:25Z

This community has been kind of slacking lately. I know I have two books out there and have no clue where they are.

Has anyone actually gotten a book back yet?

If you have someones book right now, please post which one it is!! Lets try to get this thing moving again!

2006-08-08T04:00:42Z

Just out of curiosity.... who has the "Friends for Life" journal. I would love to know where it's at! =) THANKS!!!

FINALLY!

2006-08-07T02:48:45Z

I can't tell you all how long I've been looking for a good circle journal...well...anything! I'd LOVE to join someone's circle! I'd also love to start one! I'd love to start a "Sketchbook Journal." Anyone interested? What do I do from here?

EIIIII! [squealing from excitment!]

_circle_journal @ 2006-06-15T12:24:00

2006-06-15T16:23:00Z

Just wanted to check on my journal. It's been almost a year (I think) that it was first sent out. I know mallymaesmama was the last to have it. I was wondering if the journal could "complete the circle" at least so it could get back to the owner and I could post some pictures. I would really like to know how it's going, etc.

email=liza1nyc@aol.com for return address if needed, etc.

_circle_journal @ 2006-06-02T13:34:00

2006-06-02T17:39:36Z

Just the Mod Poking in to see how everything is going? Books getting around? People doing them on time?

I think both of my books are lost out there in space somewhere....

Are any of the books completed yet?

If anyone is trying to get hold of me in regards to my journals, please contact me at eschroder@lumley.co.nz rather than mumschroder@hotmail.com. I have only rare access to my hotmail account at the moment, but I can always be reached at eschroder@lumley.co.nz.
Thanks!

PS. If I haven't replied to an email, resend it to the address above. :)

_circle_journal @ 2006-04-29T07:56:00

2006-04-29T11:54:47Z

Just wondering if mallymaesmama is still active in this group so my journal can complete the circle (aka come back to me). :)

Because Words Are All I Have

2006-04-20T04:09:18Z

I've had this journal for like 2 months now and I'm sooooo sorry that I've been slacking in not getting it finished and sent out. But it's ready now - just letting whoever's next know that I have it and as soon as I get their address from mumschroder I'll be passing it along.
