Altered Bloggy Books

altered book



Ok, I know I promised to do this Thursday so please forgive me for getting behind.  Still trying to recoup from having been sick.  Anywho, I have compiled a list of people who I think are wanting to be a part of our Altered Bloggy Book Round Robin.

If I have you on the list and I'm wrong, or you've changed your mind just let me know.

If you're not on the list and you want to be a part of things, let me know that too.

Here's who I have so far:

We do have room for a few more if anyone else wants to join in.  If you want more information just check out my original post regarding this idea and the links there.

How about we mail out our books after the holidays, January 5th-9th.  This will give you a chance to find a book you want to use, and create your cover. Can you tell I've been working on mine?

I need to get everyone's mailing addresses so I can figure out who will be sending to whom.  I will try to have us mailing to the person nearest us so the books spend as little time in the mail as possible.  Also, I will only be passing your address on to one person, the person who will be mailing to you and you will always be mailing to the same person.

Let's do this thing. :)

I've started a blog for us over here and am working on getting everyone invited inside.

  1. Wahoo! Sounds like a plan.

    What do you think of starting either a separate blog to display everything or maybe a Yahoo Group just to keep everyone communicating? I need to go visit everyone now.

    Is it my imagination or did you change your header a bit? It's threee am so my brain might be a little fuzzy...

  4. Oh my, how I would love to do this, but have so much on my plate after the hollydays...Besides, I don't have a creative bone in my old body...besides, I have never heard of an altered book before, and even if I tried, my certainly wouldn't look anything like what you've shown us here...besides, my altered book would look more like something for the trash can.

    I'll just be interested in following this and hopefully seeing you put one together, step by step. In other words, I'll live vicariously through you.

    Great idea.

  6. I am up for another blog, as long as I don't have to create it! (I have 5 currently!) Another question...do we just do the front cover right now, or are supposed to do the inside also?

  7. Hey Lisa! Sorry I'm late to the party. Yep, I'm still in, I think. As Swampy said above, I'm not sure that mine would look nearly as good as yours, but I can try! Sure, a Yahoo group or new blog would be good. And I also second Tracey's question - cover only, or inside too?

  8. Hi Lisa, I am game, so you can count me in! I suggest you create a blog spot blog that everyone can communicate in, it can be a private blog. Members only. Not sure what that involves ..surely someone knows? Passwords..Idenitys etc..must be something in the FAQ about it on blogger.
    OK now if I have this correct, we purchase a book, decorate the cover, and then mail it off to the next person , when we recieve our first book it will be blank inside, we are to create a two fold page that says something about the person to whom the book belongs..so we should at least read part of their blogs to get a clue. We do our two pages for them and mail off the book to the person on our list (everyone mailing to the same person..when you get your book back the round will be complete.) I just need to know if we are all on the same "page" so to speak. Lord willing and all the books will keep on a moving and not get stuck anyplace! :)

  9. I think there needs to be something where we can all know the "Rules" - maybe a Yahoo group?
