Wreck This Journal [2]
It's another Wreck This Journal Wednesday! Here are the pages I've finished since the post I made last week. :) I am loving this book! I will probably be a little sad when I finish it, but also feel a good sense of accomplishment too. lol There are a few things that I can't do until the snow melts, so at lest I know I have a while longer with it. :)
See my previous WTJ pages, here.
It's hard to see in the pictures, but it's tinted pink. :)
I don't want any food smeared in here. I'm afraid of what smells it might take on or things will mold! lol So I went for stickers instead! I have a huge sticker collection.
I love my staplers... one has blue staples and the other has green! I used two blue staples to keep these pages together. I used the green staples on the office supplies pages above. :)

Wreck This Journal
It has finally arrived! My copy of Wreck This Journal made it's way to my house today. Check out this post to learn a little bit about WTJ and this post to see a sneak peek of my other book (Mess) by Keri Smith! Here are the sneak peek photos of Wreck This Journal! I will be posting about it again once I finish some pages! This is a small sampling of the many pages in this book. Some are pretty basic and fun and some are kind of wacky! I'm not even showing the best ones. lol You'd have to buy it and see for yourself. :) I'll be also be back soon with more pages from my Smash Book. I've been quite busy with it!

Wreck This Journal... and more!
Happy New Year! I wish I could say that mine has started off well, but I can't. lol We won't get into that though! It's time to be joyful! So, since I was in the top 20 for a certain badge on Influenster, I was rewarded with $10 to use on Amazon! I love to buy books on Amazon and I recently chose three and put my $10 towards the total.
The first two sparked my interest long ago, but I didn't have money at the time... so I sadly forgot about them. Recently I watched a video by one of my favorite YouTubers and she purchased one so I was yet again reminded of these fun books! I can't wait for them to arrive! If you read the description of the first book, you'll have a better understanding of what the journals are. :) The last book is actually more for my 4-H rabbit kids. I am always collecting rabbit books. lol The titles are links to Amazon so you can look inside and purchase. Check peoples journals on Pinterest, YouTube and Tumblr too! Once I get the journals and start using them, I will update the blog with my progress. :)
For anyone who's ever had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes this expanded edition of Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake and mess-making abilities and to fill the pages of the book (or destroy them). Through a series of creatively and quirkily illustrated prompts, acclaimed artist Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts--poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting pages with coffee, coloring outside the lines, and more--in order to experience the true creative process. With Smith's unique sensibility, readers are introduced to a new way of art and journal making, discovering novel ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.
This journal also comes in red, duct tape and paper bag pattens!
Your whole life you've been taught to avoid making a mess: Try to keep everything under control, color inside the lines, make it perfect, and at all costs, avoid contact with things that stain.
This book asks you to do the opposite of what you have been taught. Think of it as your own personal rumpus room. A place to let loose, to trash, to spew, to do the things you are not allowed to do in the "real world." It's time to make a mess.
The only three rules you'll find in this book:
1. Do not try to make something beautiful.
2. Do not think too much. (There is no "wrong.")
3. Continue under all circumstances.
This invaluable resource contains everything you need to know about selecting and caring for healthy rabbits, whether you keep pet bunnies or exhibit animals as National FFA Organization or 4-H youth projects. Advice on feeding, housing, and much more will help you set up your own rabbitry. Learn about maintaining clean hutches and nest boxes, breeding trios and raising kits, and diagnosing and treating health problems. The Rabbit Book gathers information about showing many different kinds of rabbits at fairs and events, including fancy, Angora, and commercial meat breeds. Beautifully illustrated with color photography, this guidebook covers everything you need to know to succeed.
