Sisterhood of the Traveling (Sketch) Books

My friend Jaime at Artsyfartsyme is hosting a Round Robin of sketchbooks and she still needs 5 people to sign up!  I'm posting about it for several reasons, ONE- since I basically hounded her until she set it up, I feel like I should help in any way I can:) plus the fact that I WANT to help! TWO- I'm super excited about it and want to get started ASAP and THREE- she only needs 5 more people to get going!

So here's the low down:

• We are going to have 10 open slots for this first time around (plus me and Jaime equals 12)

• The theme is the 12 months of the year
• Jaime will assign each person a month to create a 2 page spread based on the month they've been assigned
• We will each need to purchase a new sketch book for this project (we'll be mailing these, so keep size and weight in mind for mailing purposes.) 
• Each month, we'll mail the sketchbook we've been working on to the next person on the list
  
• At the end of the 12 months, we'll receive our original sketchbooks filled with art for each month of the year!

It might sound like a lot of work- but really it's not- it's one 2 page spread a month- plus if we just do variations on our designs for each spread- then we don't have to come up with a completely new design for each sketchbook!
I'm planning on making mine into a garden journal with pages between each month for notes, plans and pictures........
don't you want to have a Round Robin sketchbook too?  Oh and one more thing- it's going to be international- two of the artists are from the UK and Australia- how COOL is that?

So if you're interested, pop over to this post at Jaime's blog to sign up- but hurry, there are only 5 slots left!

TTFN,

Stephanie
