plait/plaid/played...

2010-10-14T04:39:00.000-07:00

Dears,

it seems, that this project has finally come to its end. All books are back to their owners...
( yes, Di, I know....)
I want to say thank you!
We had a good time together and it seems to be quite normal in life, that people meet, walk a short while together and seperate again...
...like a plait of beautiful shining hair.
Or like a plaid woven from the colours of creativity.
At least we happily played together!!

I did never guess from the beginning how much there is to learn while being part of such a project.
I appreciate very very much what I got back, albeit you haven't seen all the amazing pages.
Perhaps you would like to come back for a last note, too...

Thank you all very very much!
A big hug and lots of Love from

Uschi

done!

2010-09-16T02:46:00.000-07:00

Hi girls! Ceri's journal arrived at last to destination! This was an extraordinary experience! Thanks again Uschi to start it and all of you for such a great time and expectation. I cherish my traveling journal as unique. And this is me, with one of my favourite hats! (ok I don't use it very often)

(just curious if Di received my pages)

It's My Birthday!

2010-06-29T22:44:00.001-07:00

Hello - I still haven't given up on my journal.

Could I have it back now please?

Ceri's Journal

2010-03-29T04:06:00.000-07:00

arrived safe! Thank you Dawn! and "we" are looking all pages carefully....so beautiful job you all did! This is the first journal I get that is completed, the other ones were just at the beginning or later on but I'm the last one for this one. I will do my best to send it fast Ceri, in the meantime have just a little pick.

:)

Dawn

2010-03-14T13:51:00.001-07:00

Hello - do you still have my journal? Ceri x

the next pages....

2010-01-13T04:24:00.000-08:00

are from Caty and Ceri...
Yes it's two years ago and there is still one journal on its long journey.
All my best wishes for you all for this new year and thanks for your beautiful pages.

I like this island, you created, Caty and who, please,
lives on the small round island down in the south-west?

Caty your pages are so full of ocean and coast, water and light....amazing!

And Ceri this is one of the bestest things I could have imagined to happen: inspiring each other!

Here you finally are able to see Di's response to your entry!

Lucky guy with this signal-"hat".

your garden in spring is very beautiful and some nettle-tea would be most welcome!

A Bientot!!

Where is my journal?

2010-01-08T14:01:00.000-08:00

Hello - I don't know where it is but I'd really like my journal back... could you send it please?

finally...

2009-11-25T04:26:00.000-08:00

Here I am!
I'm still so happy with this book!
I want to say a very big THANK YOU to everyone who participated!
So today I'm showing a bit of the work of Joei and Dawn who've been the first to add their stories and art:
Joei created some flowery light pages and told me some of the things which make her life...
"life is an accumulation of doing" she says. Yes...well..but life is also receiving and feeling.....

And now...Dawn! She told me thet she would like to learn cooking, when she grows up...hehee...that's a term, I also often use...the things I will do when I'm grown up....

and Dawn...you're even two years older now, isn't it :))

So beautiful rhythmic pages you have created...please don't grow up...except...perhaps...for becoming like Jamie Oliver.

Next pages will come soon!

Oh my....

2009-11-02T10:20:00.000-08:00

self-portrait: "Happy"

Dear girls...my book is back! It has been so wonderful to read through your pages! It really gave me the feeling that all of you came over for a visit. Finally, after about two years I've got the feeling that there's a connection between all of us. I could dance!
I didn't have the time yet to take a shot of all the pages you have done, but I promise I will do that very soon!
I had the happiest time (with your DELICIOUS sweets, Marianne), I'm overwhelmed!
I'll be back soon with the photos but since this week is very busy it will surely need about two weeks.

And please...don't let those who still wait wait much longer!
(Joei...did you receive yours?...you wanted to send it to me?)

Hugs! Lots of hugs!!
Uschi

THANK YOU GIRLS!!!!

2009-10-14T03:04:00.000-07:00

I'm SO happy! Thank you Uschi for organizing this wonderful project! Thank you all for your art and kindness! I will post pages once in a while. You all did such a beautiful work!

2009-09-27T10:27:00.000-07:00

Marianne's Journal

The final pages of Marianne's journal have been completed and her book is, as I type, on it's way back to her (as long as the postal strikes don't hold it up it should arrive this week!)

Thanks everyone for the fun over the past 2 years or so and to all those who have sent me pages - they are beautiful! I will still be lurking or posting on your blogs!

Here's a sneak preview of Marianne's journal...

I hope you like your journal Marianne!! It's looking amazing!

a sneak peak for Uschi....

2009-08-31T13:39:00.000-07:00

I am hard at work on Uschi's journal.
I am trying to add a little bit every day with the aim of sending it home to her by the end of this week.
Looks like everyone is on a roll.....

Caty's Journal is Going Home

2009-08-30T14:55:00.000-07:00

I am FINALLY sending out Caty's journal to her...Just got it done...I don't want to show much cause I don't want to spoil it...

Even though I've been slow to work on books here, I've truly enjoyed doing so. You're all so patient! Can't wait to get the next one...I've also got to do Di's pages, which I plan on working on this week!

Hope you all are well!

Diane come's back to life!

2009-08-19T15:44:00.000-07:00

Hello! Long time that I have been absent - sorry! Yes, I accidently sent Joei's journal back to her instead of to Ursula....sorry!! I have posted Ursula's journal to Marianne on Tuesday so it should be there by the end of the week (so much easier now she is in the UK too) and I have promised Marianne's journal will be sent by the end of the month.

Thank you Ursula, Marianne and Olga for your pages for me!! It is much appreciated.

Contrary to popular belief (mine) I have enjoyed taking part in this project and exploring new methods of creativity and meeting new people and reading new blogs!

here is everything

2009-08-12T07:27:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry Ceri! I just sent Joei a mail to see, if your book savely arrived there.
I will let you know as quick as possible.
Di finally sent Joei's book...back to Joei...I also asked Joei how to go on with it.
Did someone else as the marked three already send pages for Di??
You would make her really happy!!
It is planned that Marianne's and my book will leave Di soon!

Sorry again, girls....

Where is everything?

2009-08-12T00:58:00.001-07:00

I wondered who is still waiting for their journal to return.

I got it...

2009-07-11T22:00:00.000-07:00

I received Caty's journal a few days ago...just realized I should post and let everyone know...Caty, I'll work in it as fast as I can! It's gorgeous! :)

Oh, and I still need to get Di's pages finished and sent...Hope you all are well!

Caty's Journal

2009-07-02T03:46:00.000-07:00

My entry in Caty's beautiful handbound journal.

is now on the way to Di !!!! SORRY, crazy me, I posted the wrong info, the one I sent today earlier was DAWN, not Di !!! VERY confusing, sorry fot this.

Just sent out today, will upload some pictures tomorrow.

DAWN, have fun and I attached your Color Your Week postcards too. Surely you will need a long day to "stare" at all the pages from the beginning, really really nice!

Cheers !

Joei

hello Japan...

2009-07-01T14:39:00.001-07:00

At last Ceri's journal is on it's way again. Di's pages have arrived safely in Scotland so I am feeling a little better about my progress.
Any news on my journal? Just wondering where in the world it is at this moment....
Hope all is well and happy with you all!

Postcard from Olga

2009-05-25T23:09:00.000-07:00

Hi, it's me again, Uschi.
Olga wants to invite you over to www.thathouse.blogspot.com !!
Invitation is written by me, because she had some troubles with pc!
Hugs!!

Today....

2009-05-25T04:33:00.001-07:00

...I finally sent out Di's pages...I'm sorry that it took this long, Diane...

I don't know exactly how to start this, girls...
I fear that we already have lost most of our fragile connection.
I underestimated that fact when we started...the fact that it would be hard to hold contact...a contact that consists of interest, curiousness, the try to be creative together.
We don't live our lifes together...
But I would so much like to finish this project together.
TOGETHER....I mean:
please, don't drop out, when your book is back....show us your pages.
Please, pass on the books in an adequate time and if there is a lack of creativity at the moment:
pass them on without doing the pages...you can do this later..

Note to myself: it's the same for me.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps this isn't one of the bestest projects ever, but:
we will feel much better, believing in ourself, if we finish this happily, I'm sure.
Please, give me a sign...what do you think!
A big big hug from
Uschi

Hi girls!
So here is, where we are at the moment!
Pretty close!
I know from Marianne, Olga, Caty and Joei, that you're working on pages for Diane.
What about you, Ceri and Dawn?
And what about me.... (blush) I promised Di that they should already be there...sorry, they're not.
Diane, did you receive anything from Olga yet??
And about the books you hold: mine surely is the bigger one with the white outside...
Dawn, I would LOVE you to post some pictures from your book here!!
It would be so much motivating!!

Wishing you spring inside and outside!!

So where is mine now...?

DI! MARIANNE!

2009-03-01T12:40:00.000-08:00

I have been BAD, BAD, BAD:
have kept your book, Marianne for far too long.
I haven´t managed to do anything before now.

I have also been GOOD:
Your pages are also ready, Di!
Tomorrow I will send
both Your and Mariannes
to Dundee!

Now I have contributed to everybodies journals
as they have all been travelling through Sweden.

LOVE to all of you from Olga

{Wondering}

2008-08-16T11:29:00.000-07:00

Hello, all! Just wondering: I haven't received a journal in a few months and would like to know the latest status on all of the journals. According to the last update, I should've received the next journal from Joei by now...

running late....

2008-07-31T05:58:00.000-07:00

I must apologise for taking so long on Dawn's journal.
I have been caught up finishing the class art work( that's a detail from it in the picture). It is almost complete now, so I promise that this weekend I will finish my pages and send it on to Joei.
Hope you are all well and happy!

2008-07-20T14:05:00.001-07:00

Here is a picture directly out of my camera
taken in the dark evening
of one of the pages I made in Uschis journal.
Ojalá, I will mail it to you Di tomorrow Monday.

Not only did baby Grace arrive on schedule but guess what else turned up in my mail last week?
A journal!!!!! Hedvig arrived safely and was greeted by me with much excitement. I enjoyed being able to see in person what every one has been up to. And finally I have been able to join the fun! Hedvig should be on his way to the next in line this weekend( I just have to find out who!)

In my mail today.

2008-05-19T13:58:00.001-07:00

Thank you!

Dawn's journal and update

2008-05-16T04:12:00.000-07:00

Dawn's journal arrived today via snailmail- it's a treasure up to know!
Huh, I'm so happy!!

Schedule looks like this:

Have a happy weekend!

Marianne's Journal arrived safe!

2008-05-16T02:08:00.000-07:00

It is beauuuuuutiful! It is amazing how each of us do different on each journal, is like if the journal was alive! guiding us...Thank you Dawn! and next time if you have time, could you please put some real stamps on the parcel..? I collect them! :)

update

2008-05-15T03:42:00.000-07:00

I did some changes in this schedule, so know -correctly- Marianne comes after me!
If you've got questions, please ask!!
Kisses and cake!!

uffuff...and off to Marianne

2008-05-15T03:36:00.001-07:00

Hi to all!
I'm so happy, that we're in the flow again!!
Considering the fact, that another 3 books will arrive in my postbox during the next two weeks, I had a talk to Marianne:
I will post Olga's journal to MArianne tomorrow. The next one that arrives here will go to Joei and then back to Marianne. The third one to Marianne...and so on.
I hope this is ok with you, Joei, please let me know!
Don't worry I will put cards into the parcels!!

Olga I had lots of fum with your journal!!
I will do an update soon!

Delayed again (not for long though... yey)

2008-05-13T21:38:00.001-07:00

I have an eye infection which I don't want to send around the globe. Have a last page to do. Docs say I should avoid contact for 48 hours as I'm contagious, but I will post it off after that.

I like the new deadline thing though - gave me impetus and I'm enjoying it. Hoping to post this off on Friday.

Dawn's Journal

2008-05-11T13:10:00.000-07:00

Hello!

Just to let you all know that Dawn's journal was posted to Uschi yesterday!! I forgot to take photos though - which is bad considering how long I had the journal for! I hope you like it when it gets back to you Dawn!

Marianne's Journal to Caty

2008-05-08T15:52:00.000-07:00

Hello, everyone! I've finished my pages in Marianne's journal and it will be mailed out to Caty tomorrow...Hope everyone's well...Here's one of the pages I completed:

journal

2008-05-06T16:36:00.000-07:00

Hi all!

Just wanted to let you know that Hedvig, the journal of Olga, is on its way to Uschi... {the next journal will be sent out next week}

some VERY good news and a decision

2008-04-23T04:54:00.000-07:00

Here is a BIG welcome to Grace-Alice, Marianne's third daughter !!
A big big hug Marianne, and welcome back in the land of confusion and napkins!

Concerning the journals here are some news:
I sent a mail to Sia, I think she has to make a decision...
For all of you who are in delay ( and this are all of you, hehe..): 5th. May<- new deadline!! For everybody, who has no VERY well excuse and who lets me know ;)
( I hope so much, that you can see me writing all this with a big grin on my face...)

(I believe, that being creative has something to do with " keep it going" and the long bench is a kind of deadline for any creativity...Sorry, my very personal feeling)

How is everybody doing?

2008-04-21T10:59:00.000-07:00

It would be great if everybody gave news about the journals :)

I'm still working on Sia's and Di's pages. And waiting to receive another journal. Keep going please! only few months to have our journals back.

update and sorry

2008-04-06T05:53:00.002-07:00

Hello all and: Caty, you're absolutely right. I'm sorry for being not very supportive here during the last weeks!
But at least there is only one thing I would like to say: Sia, would you please go on!! If you're not able to work on the books, please send them to me and you will get them to work on at a later point or something similiar!!
And Di, what about Dawns journal??
It's great, that you all are working on the substitute- pages for Sia and Di!
I think I will add a post with some inspiration for encouraging you all a bit!!
Hugs!!
Uschi

hello from joei

2008-03-11T01:54:00.000-07:00

Hi, friends, sorry for the silence. I was in HK last month. And actually it was NO journal arrived in my side since last year ! I am so much looking forward to opening from my mail box.

Uschi, thank you for e-mailing me too. I will send the journals to Dawn directly from now on. I will work on the substitution for Sia's and Di's too.

In my mailbox

2008-03-07T16:31:00.000-08:00

I received Marianne's journal today from Sue...Hope everyone's well!

for Sia and Di....substitute pages

2008-03-04T04:17:00.000-08:00

this drawing shows how you can prepare and cut some sheets ( and create them afterwards ;)) as a substitute for Sia's and Di's lost journals. Please, EVERYBODY, comment this. The sheets are planned according to the second variation of binding I showed you some days ago.
The empty frame on the left side is necessary for the binding.
If anything isn't clear, please ask!!

update-less confusing, I hope

2008-02-27T23:04:00.000-08:00

Sorry, sorry, perhaps it's clearer now: I marked two journals (Di and Sia) as lost. They were lost on the way from Sia to Marianne. So we decided, that Sia should send to me and leave out Marianne. I'm still waiting for those two(Olga and Ceri)...

I sent Sia two e-mails because I think we've got a "from-Sia-to" problem, but I have absolutely no idea what that could be.....Perhaps I've been wrong and she hasn't yet sent them... We will send loose sheets to Di and Sia when they've decided on the shape!

Thanks for your continuing interest and comments!!

update

2008-02-24T23:41:00.000-08:00

Hi girls,

I'm really glad, Dawn, that you received a note from Sue.

Joei, will you please send to Dawn from now on!

Di, will you please send Sue's journal back to her!

It's easier to deal with nearly everything, if we KNOW!!

So, here we are...the new update.

I'm not sure..thats the only point, f the journals from Sia are on their way to Germany,

I wrote her a mail, lets see!

Hugs!

Uschi

Has anyone heard from Sue?

Dawn

book-binding

2008-02-18T06:00:00.001-08:00

As I told you, here are two possibilities for a simple book:

this first one is like an accordion, single sheets with a frame on one side, where you can glue the pages together. In this case it would be better to only use one page of the sheet.
the second variation are pages, divided in half, where the empty frame is on both ends of the page( äääähhhhm, are you able to visualize this :((()...in the example above I "used" 8 sheets of paper....

Di and Sia, what do you say?? I want to nail that down.

Other news: Sia, nothing arrived yet??

SUE!! Where are YOU??

Caty, did you get an answer from everybody?

I feel a bit troubled!

Uschi

Not arrived yet...

2008-02-17T00:57:00.001-08:00

Hello - I did tell Caty I'd let her know when I received her parcel.

Still not here I'm afraid.

Where are We at?

2008-02-11T07:21:00.000-08:00

Hello, fellow journalers! Just wondering where everyone is at...I haven't received anything from Sue....Anybody out there?

Dawn

{Finally!}

2008-01-30T15:38:00.000-08:00

I sent Joei's journal out to Caty today, so Caty, you should be seeing it within the next two weeks...I still haven't received from Sue...Sue, if you're out there, please let me know all's OK!

Thanks,
Dawn

a peek into Olga's journal

2008-01-22T13:03:00.000-08:00

{it is a blurry pic, my apologies}

I loved working on black paper... :-)
Olga's journal Hedvig will be sent to Germany this week!

update and questions

2008-01-21T07:18:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone,

Sia told me, that she'll send Olga's and Ceri's journal to me...I will send them to Marianne.

I don't believe, that Sia's and Di's journals will show up again.

So please Sia and Di:

decide, which size the pages send to you should have. I don't think, it makes sense to decide on the kind of paper, that should be used, because every single designed page appears different.

The pages should have a margin on the left side to bind them, when all pages are collected. I will look for an example to show you.

Sia and Di do you have photos of the pages, you've already done?? Would you send them to us or post them here??

I'm very much looking forward to your answer!!!!!

2008-01-17T23:32:00.000-08:00

Hi at all!

Concerning Marianne: she has good news, indeed (:)), but unfortunately not concerning our project.
We decided to change the direction, now Sia will send Olgas and Ceris journal to me and I will send them to Marianne....
Sia had the flue, so I'm waiting for an answer from her concerning the following proposition:
She decides about a size of sheets and we all send her single sheets with can be bind afterwards.
Di, what do you think. I've not prepared myself for the possibility, that ALL books in a certain direction dissapear.....
I will do the schedule on Monday, after the next journals have gone to the post-office!
Kisses and cake!

Caty's Journal

2008-01-17T15:15:00.001-08:00

I have finished with Caty's journal at last! I am so sorry that it has taken so long!! I hope to get to the post office tomorrow - it's going to be on it's way Sia!!

I thought I would post a little spoiler!

I have also received Sue and Dawn's journals from Olga - the fun begins again!

Can I also ask if my journal and Sia's journal ever turned up?

2008-01-11T13:29:00.000-08:00

shame, shame, SHAME on me!!!!!
I am waaaay over my timelimit.
I am sorry.
Will anyone forgive me?
I can´t blame it on anything...

Tomorrow Di,
I will send both Dawns and Sues books
to you.

Happy 2008!

2008-01-08T06:27:00.001-08:00

I loved to work on Uschi 's journal. All of them. This is a beautiful and inspiring projet. Ready to go to Ceri. A little hint...Have a wonderful and creative year!

:) Hugs!

Uschi's journal arrived!

2007-12-10T00:30:00.000-08:00

and THANK YOU Dawn! my gift is sooooooooooooooo beautiful! I love Uschi's journal and what you all did on it until now. So fun and inspiring! I will keep it until the beginning of January. Is that ok for you Ceri? Love to all of you.

update

2007-12-03T05:02:00.000-08:00

Hallo to all of you,

I had an email from Dawn and Joei, who -encluding me- are concerned because we don't hear anything from Sue. Please, all of you: drop her a line! And if you hear something: drop ME a line...

Concerning the way from Sia to Marianne: Sia, if you haven't yet send out Olga's journal: please send it to me!And I will send it to Marianne afterwards.

And perhaps it would be a good option to send a mail to the one you will be sending the next journal to, before you send the journal.

Grrhhh, I'm sad about that!!

Lots of Love!!

Uschi

journal on it's way again

2007-11-30T23:52:00.000-08:00

hello - briefly wanted to let Olga know that there is a journal on it's way. not photos etc as I am up to my eyes in work at the mo and therefore my house has become a pigsty in which nothing useful can be found....

{Uschi's Journal to Caty}

2007-11-30T13:21:00.000-08:00

Well, Uschi's journal is now in the U.S. Postal Service, making it's way overseas to Caty in France...I wish I had had a little more time with this one, but I was able to do 3 pages...Caty, there's a little special something for you in the envelope, too! Enjoy!

Dawn

A sneak-peak at my pages added to Marianne's beautiful handbound journal.

Hi, I have posted Marianne's journal to Sue two days ago. Sue, check your mail box with a little surprise for you too !
