I’m getting ready to prepare this book for New Year’s Eve 2011! It is both a party activity and a minibook with a bit of documentation.
The overall concept is to write questions regarding the coming year that all of your guests (or family members, in my case) can answer as predictions. Next year you can gather again and compare your answers to the reality!
You can also ask for general predictions from each person.
And if you like the tradition of eating fortune cookies on New Year’s Eve, you can even make a pocket for the fortunes. We added our names to each of our fortunes.
By the way, the intro page to 2011 will go on that blank page on the right.
In the next couple of days I’ll be gathering answers to a few of the questions (lesson learned from last year — don’t ask questions that will be hard to track — I have one of those!). I’ll also type up a new round of questions and add them to the 2011 pages.
If you’re a Paperclipping Member, you can watch Episode 132 in the Member’s Area for a more descriptive tutorial on the book and to learn the technique for that black glossy swirl pattern on the cover. It’s my favorite part of the book!
You can also watch Episode 133 for the design principles underlying the mini-book cover.
