Last call! Interested in participating? Read on, then fill out the form below by tomorrow Jan 18th. We’d love if you would share this opportunity with your friends! Questions? Please submit via comments.

• 12 people will be chosen to participate and will each receive a large orange dotWebbie in which to create. You do not have to be an artist/writer to participate. This 1st swap will be open to US residents only. (Future swaps may be expanded outside the US)

• Each participant will create on a specified amount of pages within the book and then is responsible to package and mail each book to the next person on the list at monthly intervals. (USPS 1st class mail or Priority shipping is recommended at a cost of roughly $5-7 per book) The participant address list will be structured in a way that should allow the shortest shipping time (and cost) between each person. In the end, you will get back the book you started which will be packed with interesting things…
  

• The theme of the swap is “Favorite Things” and can be widely open to interpretation via: thoughts, ramblings, short stories, poems, lists, art, doodles, clippings, printed photos. We ask that content be safe for public consumption.

• There are 96 sheets (192 pages) in a large Webbie. Your minimum contribution in each book will be as follows: Fill 6 pages on one side. (Leaving the other side blank) Start something on 1 page to be completed by the next person, finish something on 1 page that the previous person started = 8 pages per person (6+1+1) x 12 = 96. You MAY fill 12 sheets (6 pages both sides) if you desire.

• Participants agree to scan/snap/snag/upload/tag images to a group Tumblr blog documenting their process which could include: content, you & your Rhodia, your creative process.

• You own all the rights to your original content in the books and on the web. By submitting images to the group blog, you grant us permission to share them (with attribution) to the Rhodia Drive Blog and also our Facebook page. We encourage you to share your content via your own blogs, Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, etc.

Yaay! Whoop Whoop! They will soon be on their way to you.

Remember late last year when I mentioned the Rhodia Video Rodeo? It’s coming! Do you have a web cam or video recorder? A YouTube account and something to say about Rhodia ? We will be giving away big Rhodia prizes to people who come up with the most interesting videos that in some way showcase our products. They can be funny, imaginative or informative. We will also be doing a viewer’s choice award and handing out out a few honorable mentions.

Will you enter?

I wanted to give away something special on the blog and asked Karen to order a few of these leather Rhodia pencil cases from France. At the time she placed the order, they were not available in the US- which is what made them  special. Once they arrived, my Exaclair friends must have fallen in love with them because they have been included in the 2011 catalog and should be arriving at your favorite Rhodia retailers sometime soon.  Now they are super special because everyone here in the states will be able to buy them.

This contest is now closed – thank you for your entries! Winners will be announced here on the blog – Friday February 11th.

Much thanks to the 353 of you that entered to win a pack of my favorite Exaclair products! I’d also like to include a personal Thank You! to those of you that wished me Happy Anniversary and also say that I very much appreciate your supporting both me & the Rhodia Drive Blog.

Be sure to stay tuned… The Rhodia Video Rodeo is coming very soon!

And now for the winners!
