WTJ: Weekly Update 11/11

Well, my owl has lost his eye haha...

I infused this page with my cherry blossom perfume. And I love the way cherry blossoms look so I attached a picture. The cuts on the page are from another assigment.

WTJ - Four letter words

This is: A page for four-letter words. I took creative liscenses and decided not to interpret that as curse words. I cut these out of magazines. I cannot tell you how many letters I cut out only to descover they had 5 letters lol.

WTJ: 10/22

Week Ending 10/22/10. Not much change to the outside this week. I have done a few things to the inside though. I will be sharing them soon.

WTJ: A couple of pages

The assignment is "Lose this page. (Throw it out.) Accept the loss.

This is the recycle bin at my work. I thought it was kinda cool to think it might be recycled into something cool. I put a picture of this in my journal (I will have to post that later).




The assignment was "Glue in a page from a magazine, circle words you like." So I found one of those pretty Secret advertistments.



This is what my journal looks like on Week 4, 10/15/10. I added my name in place of "This" and added some stickers.

WTJ: I'd like to lick

The assignment was to eat this candy and then lick the page. But this did not sound good to me so I decided to glue pictures of things I would rather lick on here.

WTJ: Update 10/8/10

Not much change yet, I added one little sticker and I added a pretty bobby pin to mark my grocery list page so I can add and mark off. I found some more stickers I want to put on the front I just haven't done it yet. You can see my ziploc baggy sticking out. I have to show you that page soon.

WTJ: Update 10/1/10

Wreck this journal: Week 2, 10/1/10

WTJ - Butterfly page

The assignment was: Drip something here and close the book. I dripped, dropped and painted with fingernail polish. It started looking like a butterfly so I made it into one.

WTJ - Office Supplies

Here is my first "Wreck This Journal" page completed!!!! I have completed a few more and I will come a little later and post them. I am sorry for the bad lighting.. I don't know whats wrong with my camera!

The assigment was to cover this page using only office supplies

"To Create is to Destroy"

Renew your spirit, find yourself, rejuvenate your soul.. what do all these buzzwords mean? I know that I am not myself but where do I go exactly to “find myself” again. Where do I go to do again all those things that make me happy? Well, I am starting here. I will be featuring things I am doing to become my self again. This is where I will be documenting “Who I am.” I’m pretty sure it’s going to be messy, and I am going to make lots of mistakes but maybe that is what I need to go back to being genuine again. I used to be brave, and outspoken, unafraid and unabashed. I made mistakes but I laughed about them. Somewhere in being a wife I started striving to be stepford, to be perfect and no longer make faux paus. I used to stay up too late and giggle with my friends. I used read books and cook great meals. I used to sit on my front porch and drink ice tea. Somewhere in being a wife I stopped doing the things that made me happy. I am not saying that I will become immature, and not take care of Connor. I am saying that I don’t have to be boring to be a great mom!!!

The first project I am doing is “Wreck This Journal” by Keri Smith. The theme is "To Create is to Destroy." It is a great exercise. Feel free to read up on it and come back. I’ll wait.

Done? Okay great. Order it. It’s fabulous. I am not putting a time frame on me completing mine but I plan on doing at least something once a week. I will of course start with the tame things to get in the groove. Here is a picture of the pristine condition it arrived to me in. Let’s see what messes we can make, shall we?
