What's Happening @ Books for Walls Project:

• We've reached one of our Goals:  We made it to Antarctica.  There was really no way to prepare us for receiving an email from McMurdo Station, Antarctica (watch this video for fun and perspective!) --we knew we wanted to get there, but to have communication with a person in such a far away and mystical place --OUTSTANDING!  So, thank you dear readers, the project is working we are reaching all corners of the globe.

• We're in the news.  Last night we attended a concert and a friend walked up to The Mom and said, "wow, the girls are on the cover of the Northern Express."  What fun, we didn't even know!  We are simply giddy, we love the project and want the world to know and get involved.  Read the article here.

• Thanks to ALL who shared their books and stories this week.  Read all of the new comments and take a challenge.  Remember you can take challenges more than once -we can't wait to hear from you.
