I ordered a copy of the book Wreck This Journal last week and it just came in today!!! I was so excited!! The whole point is to follow the instructions on each page to create a journal and destroy the book in the process. I am such a perfectionist and I love to plan things out, so this will be a great way for me to accept my creativity for what
it is and be more spontaneous. At dinner I walked up to the stove with the book and just flung gravy at a page and then shut it! Dave looked at me like I had recently developed a mental condition then laughed at me. If anyone is interested in learning more, go to http://www.kerismith.com/
So this is day one of "wrecking my journal". Doesn't it look all shiny, pretty and new?! A thing of real beauty really. I am itching to fix the current state of this book!!!
Page one, but not in the technical order and here's the reason why: Throughout this book I am asked to spill things on it, make a 'stain log', drag it through the dirt, and other possibly disgusting things. SO, I made it a point to do all pages that require my mouth to touch the book first! One of the instructions does ask me to take it into the shower with my but I'm not 100% confident that it would be clean enough for me to lick. I tried to make a flower in the circle - Meh it's still pretty! LOL
The last page that I finished today was the "trace your hand" page. So here is me AND the little pieces of me.

Shanah, I'm so glad you are having fun with this journal! You are one of the most creative people I know!
That looks like fun! I would want to get the licking out of the way first, too!
