I’d like to be under the sea
In an octopus’s garden in the shade
Who doesn’t love the ocean? This is the place to wax poetic about your favorite fish, share fascinating facts about the coral that lies beneath the waves, and sketch to your vision of a delightful octopus’s garden!
All aquatic adventures welcome here! Take a splash and dive in!

“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” – Oscar Wilde
Fashion is always changing, and always needs new designs and fresh styles to keep it evolving. Commit a few of your fashion figures here in any design that you like! Your models can be thoroughly modern Millies, Gibson Girls, Barbie-like figures worthy of Versace or sketches from Marie Antoinette’s dressmaker.
After adding your figures, send the book along to the next person. Have fun, fashion designer!

All my life, i’ve been fascinated by objects I’ve found in all kinds of places, indoors and outdoors. hidden in old furniture, lying on the sidewalk, tucked away in a book, hidden behind pictures in old frames, left in closets by previous residents, lost in the corner of a basement, found in school desks. I’ve collected these odd bits of history all my life and often wonder what kind of things others have found.
I want you to be as creative as you’d like, adding found treasures, altering the existing blank pages in the book with your own creative art, creating cut-out niches to hide a found treasure in and so on. Add objects on one page or two or go wild, adding them on pages throughout the book for others to work around, or add them to pages that already have objects pasted.

A journal for all things related to the termination of mortality. With taxes it’s the only certain thing, so you’re certain to have something to say about it. Dreams, thoughts, fears, desires, words, illustrations…all relating to death are welcome here.

My husband gave me this journal, because the cover reminded him of a restaurant we take out kids to often, and I decided to turn it into a journal about eating out in restaurants. Possible topics for inclusion? Your favorite restaurant, or a fantasy dinner companion, or a description of your most-loved dessert. Alternatively, tell me your restaurant horror stories, as a customer or a waiter or chef. I’m a big fan of books like Kitchen Confidential, Down and Out in Paris & London, Hey Waitress! and Hotel Bemelmans.

As a new mother of a 2 month old I would like the topic of this pass along journal to be about parenting. Feel free to add your advice, tips, stories or whatever you would like about parenting. When you are finished pass it on to another BookMooch member so they can add their two cents.
When the book is full and complete, please send it home to me. You can contact me through my BookMooch ID of mspeegle.

This is a chain of inspiration captured in a single volume. You will take your inspiration from the person who previously had the journal, and re-imagine their creation or theme in your own way.
Adopt the previous work of art.
Adapt it to your own style.
Improve it, by adding elements of your own, removing what you don’t like, twisting the theme entirely, or whatever you’d like. Let’s see just where this motto of the Round Table takes us.
