I will have another update next week, and then I plan on taking a field trip around Los Angeles to leave a few more here and there. In September, those of you heading to Squam Art Workshops should come ready to go a-hunting, because I'll be leaving five books all over the RDC Campground that weekend!!

what a lovely idea... and to see one sitting on a seat in New Zealand, I am just sad I wasn't there at the time, or actually any time, I have never been to Lyall Bay.
At a very hard and sad time in my life this made me smile so thanks :)

Headed to Dublin in a week and a half if you want one left there! I have been waiting for the next update. What a fun experiment/project!

That's so cool!! I am working on something similar with artwork, little pieces. Thanks for your thoughts and ideas in doing this. Hope you enjoyed Japan :) We love it, if you ever get to go to Okinawa- JUMP for it, it's GREAT!!!
