The sketchbook project

I found it on Notes to the Milkman, and he found it on Mags Phelan's site, and she found it... and so on.  But what they found was the sketchbook project.  It's a project to send out sketchbooks (well duh!) to those who want to join in - for a fee, obv - and then collect them all in by a given date to form a giant travelling artists' book library.  You have to pick a theme - there's a good listful - but you don't have to stick to it too slavishly.  The deadline for ordering is this next week, the end of the month (I think), and then sketchbooks have to be sent back postmarked January 15th or earlier, so obviously we're at the fag-end of this year's project.  I can't decide whether to go for it - and then feel pressured to do it, maybe getting in the way of other nascent projects - or wait for next year's.  I'm going to have to make my mind up quickly though - or not, of course, and run out of time so that the decision's made for me.

Or maybe I'll do it, but unofficially.  Get or make my own sketchbook to the right proportions and with the right number of pages, pick a theme, fill the book.  Not to send in (I couldn't, it wouldn't be standard issue with a barcode an' all), but for the discipline of it.  Yes, but would I?  What are the chances?
