A major advantage of doing it electronically is that each person can

I like this idea as it would be instant gratification, instead of

each person having to wait for the book to be sent to them. On the

flip side, it woud be nice to have a book with everyone's creative

and crafty talents inside. Perhaps Natalia could take all the pages

from the website and compile them into one book and if we all

chipped in we could get it printed?

Good idea !
