The SketchBook Project or What Lynn Does When She is Bored

I came home early from work today!
I had no plans.
I cleaned up my work area (putting folded fabrics into their bins in the garage)
I watched the tail end of a fairy tale movie.
I dozed.
I got on line.
I found a project called The Sketchbook Project. It's on a website called http://www.arthousecoop.com/. They say they are revamping their website, but you can go to the Projects page and sign up for this one if you are interested. You can also get there from the logo on my sidebar.
The people running the site are in their early 20's. There are two of them.
The gist of this project is you send them $ and they send you a moleskin sketchbook.
You draw in it.
And then you send it back to them by Jan. 15, 2011 and the books go on TOUR all over the country
(see pic of map on my side bar) and they live in a library in Brooklyn, NY and people with library cards can check them out and "read" them.
And they give YOU a library card to track your sketchbook in the library and when it is on tour.
I believe you can put your book up for sale too if you want.
Prices range from $5 to a $1 million. Some people have great senses of humor, or they are really really good artists.
I just thought it would be a fun thing to do.
I hope my Pay Pal had the funds to cover this project!
LOL
I better not come home early from work too many days a week.
