The folks in red below have confirmed that they are in by emailing me mailto:moleskine.exchange@gmail.com
their addresses, a couple I already had. After I get your address I will send you an invite to be an admin on the blog.
http://moleskine-exchange.blogspot.com/
You can post pics there, spin yarns, make it look all fancy, whatever you want.

I am still waiting for a couple of confirmations and unfortunately Majane had to drop out. I am accepting Jessie in her place! I added a link to Jessie below.

As soon as I know everyone is in and has gotten their books I will email you all the addresses and mailing order.

14. Holding a space for William Shaff ~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/samsa1973/ He is considering it, I really hope he says yes!

I got more than 10, so I figure we will have 14 people and all do 7 pages each. That will leave 2 pages, is this okay with everyone? I would like to use the large sketch Moleskine. Here are a couple of links if you don't know where to get one.

Now, I will set up a new blogger page especially for this. I want to have it so everyone can post to it whenever they want.

What I need for all of you to do is send me an email at
moleskine.exchange@gmail.com
confirming that you are in - FOR SURE! I know a couple of you had doubts, I understand! Be sure you want to do this. I will also need your mailing address to give everyone so they know where to send the books. As soon as I get confirmation that everyone has their Moleskine and is ready to go I will send you a link to become an admin member on this site.

I am thinking of starting up a Moleskine exchange. Would any of you be in to that? My idea is we all buy a large Moleskine sketchbook, we fill up 5 pages with whatever craziness that comes to mind, then ship it off to the next person on the list. I am suggesting 10 people be involved and we each do 5 pages, twice around. Get it? In the end we all end up with our sketchbook back, but full of 9 other folks' work.

I need 10 people so comment that they want in and I will get some dates scheduled and get this ball rolling. I will even start a new blog for it that everyone involved can post to. If someone tells me how to do that. ;)

Come On, please! Steve? Mary? Ellen? Willie? Ammon? Johnnynorms? Anyone! Everyone!
