Just wanted to gloat a bit.......I've had my LO completed for 2 weeks now.....how's eveyone else getting on???? Is it still in your head Dee???

No, I've done it. I started on Monday night and finished it last night. I'm so pleased I joined in as I'm having so much fun doing them. Can't wait to pick the next one up!

I love circle journals....it really pushes me to do so many different things.

I can't wait to get the next one, it's yours and I know exactly what I'm going to do

I just want to thank those of you who are part of the cj... it's been really fun, and I can't wait to start our next one next year...

It's taken me by surprise just how much I have enjoyed doing it. Since I picked up my last one yesterday I keep planning different ideas out in my head and although at first I felt a bit stumped, I feel full of ideas now. The problem will be picking one!

I'm really glad that we're going to do another one, they end up being such lovely keepsakes.

I agree, I've had nothing but fun doing this cj and can't wait to start the next one next year.

I'm very excited about getting mine back now with all your lovely layouts in, and I know it'll be something I will still be looking back on in years to come with a smile on my face

Just a few weeks to go... better get last one finished then I'm looking forward to our scrapping party

I know, I must get started!! Really enjoyed the whole thing . I think it really stretches you as you have to stick to the subject of the journal so it makes you really think.

I'm not a hundred percent sure how they work but I'd quite like to join in next year if I can, do I need to go to the crops or anything?

Hi CC

You don't have to go to the crops, although it would be excellent if you could, it's just the dates of the crops are when we exchange journals so you would just need to make sure that yours was at the shop for that date and you could pick the next one up at any point afterwards. We have roughly a month to do the double paged spread and get it back to the shop. We're all working on the 6 x 6 sized books.

The subjects have been varied from "a day in the life" to "photo booth" to one that was completely freestyle. The owner of the journal puts any rules that need to be applied to the journal at the front, for example a colour scheme or don't include photos or the reules are there are no rules!!

It's been such fun, I'm looking forward to the next one.

Thanks Dee, another couple of Q's - are they ready made books and does each person choose a theme for their book?

FT if you're out there would it be possible to see yours when I'm next in the shop to get more of an idea?

Course it would, just need to remind me though...

HI CC

We just use the 6 x 6 chipboard books that are held together by jump rings. Each person choose their own subject for the journal and everyone creates a page on that theme.

Definitely have a look at FTs when you're next in the shop.

Had a look at one of the books the other day in the shop and it looks fun, so count me in for the next one please, I've already had a few ideas for a theme.

No problem CC, think we'll start next one in February
