if you limit people to hand written, which then needs to be posted etc....you willl miss out on a LOT of people who would happily write a message of support in a quick email (without any confirmation hassle?), but just wouldn;t bother to write one out, make it pretty, get an envelope, go to post office etc. I know it's not that much effort, but trust me, a LOT of people who would send an email wouldn;t do it....so you have to choose, quality and prettiness? or quantity? the message will still carry the same meaning....

you could do two sectoins to the scrapbook, one for hand written at the front, and then all the cut out printouts at the back. still cut them out indivdually (and scrappily), and glue them haphazardly, to keeep the feel of a scrap book, but it just opens this up to about 1000% more people....

as for the other forums, i'd say it's fine to post about this project there, just don;t expect too much from them.
