This year, I'm trying to start something rather special and fun that everyone can get involved in. Have you ever seen those lovely photos of journals, open to pages that have been decorated and written on in pretty ways? It might just be a Tumblr thing, bu those are the pictures that inspired this idea.
Basically, over winter break, I'll go buy a Moleskine notebook and fill up the first page; notes, drawings, a letter, whatever, just something that I want to pass on and share with others. Then I will take the notebook, pop it into an envelope, and mail it to someone. That person will do their own page (or pages, depending) and then mail it to the next person on the list. The general idea is to create a round-robin journal; As it goes around, we can each take photos of the entry the person before us sent, and post them to a blog so everyone else in the round robin can see what's going on with the journal.
If someone wants to just do a one-on-one exchange with me, I'm up for that as well- but I can't buy a thousand notebooks, so We'll either have to split costs or figure something else out.
