The last post of 2014! Everyone in the project is so excited to see what places the book gets to in 2015!

As for December, the book left California on December 4th and arrived in Warsaw, Poland on December 18th! The notebook's very first ocean crossing was a success! Just in time to celebrate Hannukkah with our lovely MRKH sister there!



The book is currently en route to southern Norway! 

A happy holiday season and happy new year from all of us in the Notebook project to you!

And a very special thank you from me, Kristen, for everyone participating in this project. Its first year was lovely, and I can't wait to watch it continue!  All my love to you!

November 2014 Update

The notebook is on the move!  The notebook traveled north a bit, but stayed in California this month.
It is officially official that the notebook is making it's first ocean crossing in December!  Look out, Poland, the notebook is coming your way!

The notebook had a great time traveling around America, but it's ready to see new sights!
I can't wait to share the photos as it makes it's first trip to Europe!

Another sister from Russia was added to the group, so now we have two Russian girls participating! I just LOVE watching this book project grow!

Go book, go!

Check out this awesome little video made by a sister in California!


Here is a photo taken by the twelfth sister to receive the book, in California! I don't know who made the awesome bookmark, but I absolutely love it!

October 2014 Update

The book has only moved once since the last update, it remains in California! Hopefully the length of time the book has been taking lately to travel does not become a trend!

We were so excited to add two new participants this month, from two new countries to the project... welcome, Tunisia and France!

The annual MRKH conference was held at Boson Children's Hospital last weekend, and the project was mentioned to the audience (awesome!)

Also, Kristen was able to speak with someone who had the book at their house earlier in the year, and it was so exciting to hear real-life tales of it's travels!

In exciting world news, a woman with MRKH gave birth after receiving a womb transplant last year. How incredible! The woman who had the book at the time decided to celebrate with this awesome picture.


Keep on going, book, you have a long way to go!

Total distance traveled: Total :  
5072 miles (8,162 km)

Number of women who received the book this month: 0

Total number of women who have written in the book: 9
Number of women left to receive it: 162

August 2014 Update

The book did not travel at all in August, unfortunately... we're all eagerly awaiting it's next trip!

Because it didn't travel anywhere, there isn't much to report on the project!
We did have a project vote, and considered if we should split the project into two books instead of just one. The majority voted to keep just one book, as the project originally intended!

There has been a few disheartened comments about the length of time this project will take to fully finish, but despite that most of these incredible women are willing to wait as long as it takes to get their turn with the book!

This project is definitely a test of patience, but bringing together this strong and resilient sisterhood of women is the main goal, which is not something that can be rushed.

July 2014 Update

Hello again!

The notebook is continuing it's incredible journey!

Where has it been since the last update?

Minnesota USA (twice!)
Wisconsin USA (twice!)

There was a mix-up this month with an address, and the notebook was returned to sender, so because of that the notebook did not travel as much in July is it normally does. 

A new and exciting idea is happening with the project!  Some girls are choosing to meet up and do the notebook together, rather than on their own!
Such a wonderful idea! 

That's all for now!

The notebook with some MRKH sisters in Minnesota!
