~Love the idea of the base being the same size and we go no larger than that size. (Did Pix say a regular sheet of paper size? Like that!)

~I think ONE person collecting all our art ~ rather than sending the book around ~ is BEST. I seem to remember a couple of those pass-around books from the dash site getting 'lost'......um.....No. And did I read that Pixie is volunteering to take on this task!? WOW! <~~for you, darling

~So.....how will the chapters be chosen? What about this........... 6 chapters:
Chapter I ~ P
Chapter II ~ L
Chapter III ~ A
Chapter IV ~ N
Chapter V ~ E
Chapter VI ~ T

And that gives us pretty free rein, huh? You likey? (Though I'm on with Pure's idea of using some of the sketchbook themes, too. Even though I might be a little "Happy Thought-ed" OUT! <giggle> )

And maybe, for the cover, the swirly round logo dead center? Just a thought....

We have 8 months if everyone wants to do a Reunion book.

If we wanted to gear it specifically for the reunion we could have chapters on: coming out, identity, acceptance, community, sexuality, family, etc.

Or we could do it more like the sketchbook project where you pick from a theme like:

I’m sorry I forgot you
Below the surface
A day in the life
Happy thoughts
Secret codes
Lines and grids
A record year for rainfall … etc.

I think it should be more than a monthly project. Maybe it’s something we can work on in the background of our regular projects. We’ll need to make sure we set a deadline that would give Pixie plenty of time to put the book together for us.

I think we should have more time to do this, but not so long as to put it off and still be running late LOL

Do we want to start it now or do we want to do it as say a june, july, aug project?

What size do we want it to be? square rectangluar , big, med or small?

Do we each want to do a page or do we want to do the book thing and each do a "chapter" (2 or more pages)


Some of you did the sketch book projects what can you tell us about them?

Hiya everyone I was just wondering if we had decided how we wanted to do the reunion book..... I quoted some of the said ideas.....to help us choose
