Hey, can you guys help my daughter? Cool school project details inside![More:]

Last night, I found something called a Journey Journal in my daughter's backpack. Basically, the way it works is, she writes things about herself and where she lives, attaches pictures, etc. Then she sends it off to someone who lives elsewhere in the country. That person does the same thing: who-I-am, where-I-live, etc., and then sends it off somewhere else in the country. This is a year-long project, and we are able to put a list of addresses of people we'd like it to be sent to. This is where you come in. If you'd be interested and willing to put a quick blurb about yourself and where you live and then shell out $3 or $4 to pass it along to the next person, please drop me an email (in profile) with your name and address.

I really like this project and I'm looking forward to seeing the results! Thanks!

Oh, and unfortunately, it has to be US-only. I wouldn't want to ask anyone in the chain to have to ship internationally.
In other news, my daughter got her first 1st grade progress report, and she's apparently top of the class in math, just like her daddy! (Last night we were doing her math homework, and she's already doing addition in her head. No fingers!) She also excels at music, which gives me all kinds of ideas....

I am always finding assignments in my kids backpacks too. Would it be ok if my daughter responded and we mailed it on? My daughter is six, and I'll help her.

Absolutely, craniac - if it's kids doing the responding, more the better!

Do you think kids would want to hear about the creepy life of a mortician? If so, send it to me. I'll send you an email with my contact info.

I would be happy to help but I live in Chile.
Good luck!

I'll totally help! I sent you an email with my address - not sure if you still had it or not.

Thanks for all the responses so far, everyone! You guys rock.

If I had gumption to spare, I'd organize one for bunnies. How cool.

Isn't it a cool idea, rainbaby? But who'd get to keep the bunny one when we're done?

Seriously: the many eager responses I've gotten have made me grin like an idiot. I'm touched. Thank you!

This is a year-long project, so you may not receive it for several months or even until next spring, but rest assured everyone who emailed me is going on the list.

I'd love to but I am in Canada, alas.

I'm totally in.

Everyone would start a bunny book and mail em around in a circle, so you'd get your original at the end. In theory.

Have a cigar, my nephew's home early! || Bunny! OMG! Oh noes!
