okay following on from there's no such thing as a stupid question i have a couple!

assuming group of 4 people, lets call them A B C D

  1. Prepare your album and send it to the person you send to by Monday 13th February. A's Album goes off B, A recieves D's album

  2. Once you have done the double LO in the album you receive, send it to the person you send to by Monday 13th March. D's Album goes off B, A recieves C's album

  3. Once you have done the next double LO in the next album you receive, send it to the person you send to by Monday 10th April. C's Album goes off B, A recieves B's album

  4. Once you have done the next double LO in the next album you receive, send it to the person you send to by Monday 8th May.B's Album goes off B, A recieves A's album back

so no need for
5. Once you have done the final double LO of the CJ send it back to the person you send to by Monday 5th June.

and question 2 is are we doing a layout in our books first? so we do our intro page including tags for people to sign, then next page as a lo?

JayzMummy · 23/01/2006 00:42

Katz.

All the directions are on the other thread but I'll run through them quickly.

You make and cover the front and back outer pages of your journal.
Front inside is a good place to add a pocket for sign in tags.
Fist page is a single page....use this to do your introduction to your journal....list here things you would or would not like people to use in your journal...ie if you hate glitter then you can state that you would rather the people in your team didnt use it. I tend to print my instructions on a tag so when the journal comes back you can easily remove it and add a LO of your choice.
The next two pages are your first DLO (double layout). This is the LO that you make. You can if you want to add a further DLO's...its up to you...its your journal.
The inside of the back cover needs to be decorated and I use this either for further sign in tags or as the circle is quite small you could use this as a place to add your tag with your home address and contact details. You need to do this so the journal to be returned if it should go astray at anytime....again this tag can then be easily removed and you can add a futher LO or some journalling detailing your thoughts on taking part in your first CJ.

You need to decide whether you want your team mates to add a photograph of themselves on the sign in tag....dont expect them to do so though, as they may feel uncomfortable doing so.

Posting.

First month

A sends to B
B sends to C
C sends to D
D sends to A

Second month

A sends D's album to B
B sends A's album to C
C sends B's album to D
D sends C's album to A

Third month

A sends C's album to B
B sends D's album to C
C sends A's album to D
D sends B's album to A

therefore at the end of the third month A receives back the album which has been completed by the other three team mates.....so yes you are right...there is no need for the last date.

As the circles are quite small how about asking your team mates to make two LO's in your CJ? They really do not take long to make and four weeks is plenty of time to manage two entries.

Popsy....What colour fibres are you looking for?...I have added a few to the pack with your bookrings in....if you give me an idea of the sort of colour you want I can add some that might be of use

Katz...I have emailed you re book rings.

HTH.

Oh you're all getting ahead of me!! Haven't even started yet but had a few ideas. Was DS 1st birthday at weekend so now that all over and done with can hopefully find time to do stuff. Was going to ask everyone to do 2 LO in my book cos otherwise with such small groups its not going to end up very much...... Hope thats ok????

katzg · 24/01/2006 11:59

Katylou - thats sounds fine to me, as i'd like 2 person in my book too, i'm just sorting through my pictures ready to add, i have been planning my cover now and have found a fab poem about smiles too!

popsycalindisguise · 24/01/2006 11:59

ooh jayzmumy - thaknkyou!

katzg · 24/01/2006 12:02

i nearly ruined my CJ cover today.....

JayzMummy · 24/01/2006 19:29

popsy.....dont use eyleets for where the book rings go!!!

popsycalindisguise · 24/01/2006 19:31

what do i do then....
i have probably made a HUGE error...

kiwibella · 24/01/2006 19:51

just looked at your pics JM... your workshop looks amazing!! Well done hubby I have lots of ideas for starting off my CJ and I'm looking forward to having a play. Your parcel has arrived, I got a card in the box, but haven't made it down to the collections to sign for it. Thanks . Does anyone have a die to cut filmstrips or have any tips for how to achieve this?

JayzMummy · 24/01/2006 20:42

posy....no worries if you have its just not the norm. I made the same mistake on my first CJ and by the time you have aded everything to the pages the shank of the eyelet isnt quite long enough to have enough to bash over!

What have you done???
