as for one person creating the book/pages - i must be honest and agree with perfectodub - but i do know that its alot of work so i dont think that is gonna happen. I know everyone saying that its great for it to all look different - i see your point, but ... i dunno... for something that we're all putting so much effort and time into - shouldnt we try to make it as polished as possible?

o__o I've received money from England before...hmm, but that was a few years ago. I'm pretty sure it's NOT an offense here, to be honest, but I'll definitely check up on the other countries (that have volunteers here). Paypal is a good option; unfortunately, not everyone is able to do that. Like we said before, PayPal is the RECOMMENDED option, and hidden cash is only if you can't do that (except for in Australia).

Well, we'll definitely have to set up a rule on what kind of paper you can use. (Which we've already given the size, which is the size of paper that will fit into a sheet protector.) I'm saying the color should be white...plain, but we'll already be adding other stuff to the pages anyway. I mean, even one person's page's won't all look the same - that's the point of a scrapbook. Not perfect, but not messy. Just...kind of laid out, spread out, sort of.

Thousands of people do it every day - even here in australia but it is still a federal offence in MOST countries. This may not be a problem for most but i work for Queensland Police - and if even something so simple like that arrives in my mail and im caught, then i will lose my job and be charged. hehe so it does carry slightly higher risk for me. (and thats not if the postal staff dont steal it)

I get what you mean about the pages being individual - i guess i just had a different vision for it. its actualy getting me a bit worried now - im not good at THAT kind of scrapbooking - and so i dont know if i could produce pages properly... hmmm i dunno~

Truthfully i envisaged it as a bound product - more simple-cool-eligant than individual sections. It might sound stupid to everyone but thats how i saw it - truth is, there would be more work needed on PC for this way but as for compliling it - it would take no time at all - it would all be sent to a printer and taken care of by them. In the end you would be left with a polished beautiful book that will last for ever - it could still include people's handwriting and drawings etc, and once you add up the cost of everyone's postage (for hand written letters, and posting the pages) i bet it would come pretty close to printing costs. Again its just my thoughts~ i know this was set up to be a scrapbook - i guess im just trying to say - that people have different ideas or perceptions of what a scrap book looks like.
