Wreck this Journal {Update #3}

Yeah, well so much for doing this regularly!  It was only last November that I started this journal project.  That's me, start something new and not keep it up or follow through. 

So I was sitting in the car the last night waiting for Tiger while she had her riding lesson.  I had brought some stuff to do while I waited but was still bored!  I had my Wreck this Journal in the bag and decided it was about time to work on it some more.

I opened it up to this page:

OK, I'll do this one!

So I carefully removed tore out the page.

I folded it up.

And stuck it in my pocket!

I put in through the wash today.  But not without some planning, which of course goes totally against the point of the book!  I first had it in the pocket of my zip up hoodie.  But I thought it may fall out and get torn up to pieces in the washer.  So I ended up putting it in the back pocket of my jeans.  It made it through and was still inside the pocket when I removed them. 

What I didn't account for was the dryer.

That's when it came out of the pocket and ripped into 3 pieces and got all wadded up.  So maybe it wasn't supposed to go in the dryer.

It didn't say to put it in there.  But it didn't say not to.

Whatever.  I flattened it out. 

And taped it back together.

It's now resting peacefully back in it's place in the book.

It shrunk though.

Wreck this Journal {Update #2}

I've started a few pages in my journal and have a few completed that I can finally share with you! The first is the "this book belongs to" page......


I know it's hard to see the first where I wrote in white! I used white out for that.

This next page was fun. You drip something on the page and close it to make a print. I used nail polish. I think it turned out pretty cool.........my room really stunk for a few hours afterward though.

It reminds me of one of those ink blot tests. What do you see? Anything?

The only problem I had with this one is the polish bled through a few pages in each direction and wrecked those pages...........I know, it shouldn't upset me.......that's the whole point of this right? lol

Wreck this Journal

I have not forgotten about my promise to share my progress with my journal. It just got put on hold for a bit. That's my problem I get all gung ho about something and then don't have time to do it. Not to mention the fact that I just get into too many things at once sometimes.

So the first thing I've done with the book is to crack the spine!

Ouch! Yes that hurt me. It was difficult for me. Both emotionally and physically. Seriously that was one tough book!

I will continue to share more as I get them done. Not sure how regularly but I'll get to it. Some of the tasks are kind of ongoing and may take a while to complete.
