a reminder

Just a quick reminder to everyone please mail out your sketch books to the next person by wed Dec 18th! Can't wait!!!

Mailing those babies out

Finally got all twenty-three sketch books packaged up and addressed. I am so so happy to have finally got this far!

Everyone is going to get each book for 2 weeks, but I am going to give more time around the holidays for travel and family. Round 1 is a regular 2 week session.

The label protector can be reused if you slice open the pouch and then retape it with the new address inside. I did send extra protectors just in case though.

Can't wait for everybody to get the first round!

500 Is Not Enough

In case you are wondering, I'm 500 pages in and it's not enough for all the sketch books I have to make! Most of the books are bound and await the finishing touches!  Out of everyone contributing 8 states are covered and these books are traveling coast to coast!

Welcome!

Welcome to Paper Beginnings!

We all get into a creative slump (some slumps are larger than others) but when you are ready to get out of it we all turn to the handy sketchbook. As a collaboration, it allows us to see how each other approach fresh ideas. My hope is that we will motivate and inspire each other.

I hope to have all of these sketchbooks made and ready to ship out to you before Thanksgiving!

Thank you all to who are participating.

All 400+ papers are ready to be bound!
