<br />
I meant to publish this post a very long time ago, but I honestly forgot.<br />
<br />
The Notebook is MIA :( I have asked the last person numerous times to please just let me know if they have lost it, and at first they responded that it would be on its way soon, and then they just stopped responding.<br />
<br />
So, I am considering it gone. I am very sorry, I loved the idea of it and it still had so many more places to travel to.<br />
<br />
If it happens to pop up in the future, I will be back to let you know.<br />
<br />

Well, sort of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to CA recently to visit my family, and my little sister Liz was next on the list.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I dropped it off with her, and its back in rotation!</div>

Can't wait to see what she contributes!</div>

<br />
And its now <i>July.</i><br />
<br />
I know, I KNOW!! Anywho, its going out. July 25th :) And I have updated the dates you will receive it (assuming no more shipping hiccups). Just click on the "Where Its Going And When" link up at the top of the main blog page.<br />

I know I said over a month ago I would get this thing out.<br />
<br />
I failed! But Ive been working on it, and will have it on its way within the week!<br />

Again, I don't know how it randomly came back to me, but I am grateful.<br />
<br />
That being said, there are going to be some changes to the shipping requirements for the notebook. Im going to require it to be boxed <b><u>priority mail</u></b>, and have newspaper cushion it if the box is too big. Again, I would like it to be sent priority mail, and with <b><u>delivery confirmation</u></b>. All this should not cost more than $15 (international, I will make some exceptions, and email you about them at the time its your turn). If you can't participate because the shipping cost is too much, then please let me know so I can remove you from the list. I know it sounds harsh, but Im really proud of this project and cant take the risk of it being ruined or lost (the notebook has some damage to it that I have to repair).<br />
<br />
On a happier note, all the submissions look amazing! Thank you so much to all who have participated so far. I will have the notebook for about another week, and then I will send it off to the next person on the list. Stay tuned!Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02181230882381286160noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573037687690090852.post-55902089270903241972011-02-08T22:42:00.001-08:002011-02-08T22:42:45.826-08:00It's back!Well, sort of. It's not in my possession, but it has resurfaced. It was delivered to my sisters house (where I used to live) and will be in my hands in a couple weeks. It's a little banged up, so I'm going to spend some time repairing it and then I will continue it on it's journey. So please be patient! Everyone's delivery time is obviously way off, but all that matters is that it's back! :-) Thank you everyone for your comments and support, it makes me happy knowing you care about it as much as I do!<br /><br /><br /><br />Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02181230882381286160noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573037687690090852.post-63282008423640726882011-01-25T22:06:00.001-08:002011-01-25T22:06:37.957-08:00Sad Day.It is with great sadness that I have to announce this - The Notebook has gone MIA. <br /><br />It was delivered back in December to the next recipient, who has not responded back to my email requests since then.<br /><br />I assumed something came up, and she would get back to me eventually.

Did you know that around 50 years ago, the town of Saginaw was a small settlement of five homes, a school house, one church, a lumber yard and a depot. I kind of envy that simple life.<br />
<br />
Here is a look at the entry from Pittsburgh...<br />

Thanks Chantel!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Now its been brought to my attention that the notebook is getting a little damaged while traveling. This thing has 2 more years to go, so I ask that you please take care when shipping it. Originally I had asked to have it shipped in a priority mail box - I understand that it can be a little pricey, so all Im asking now is that the notebook be sent out in a padded envelope. I know there isnt a way that I can enforce this rule, so all i am asking is to please do me this favor, so that the notebook doesnt fall apart.<br />
<br />

<br />
I just wanted to update you that there is a new page titled "When You Will Get It" with a list of the cities, states and the dates the notebook is anticipated to arrive. Of course this will change with every time it goes international, since delivery time will vary.<br />
<br />
If you check it out and see your town on there more than once, feel free to send me an email to clarify which one is you.<br />
<br />
Have a good week!Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02181230882381286160noreply@blogger.com5
