Summers Page for her brother. Instructions? Poke holes in this page using a pencil.

A wonderful sorority sister of mine completed this page. I passed the journal off to her one day in statistics. I seriously could not have survived that semester without her by my side struggling every day to understand what was going on in that class.

 Summer lost her brother Ryan in the summer of 2012 and she dedicated this page to him.

   Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the spirit is Love, joy,peace,forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Against such things there is no law.

Pour,spill,drip,spit,fling,your coffee here.

I dated this page January 3rd. Its been almost a year and I'm excited to almost be done with this journal!
The instructions on this page are
  Pour, spill,drip, spit, fling, your coffee here.
So that's exactly what I did. I wrecked this page with my best friend Casey when we were waiting at the car dealership for my oil to be changed!
I can easily recall the repair men laughing at us using the coffee pot to stain the pages of this journal!

Wipe your feet, jump up and down.

I have passed my Journal off to so many people this past year. My goal is for it to be full of memories of friends and trips and places and good things!

 The first page I want to share with you is one from the beginning of the year.
 The instructions for this one? Stand Here. (wipe your feet, jump up and down.)
And this is how I did it.

Let the Journal Begin

My Wreck this Journal journey!

For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a sweet collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake- and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them). Acclaimed illustrator Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts-poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, and more-in order to experience the true creative process. Readers discover a new way of art and journal making-and new ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.

 

This Blog is an assignment for my final communications class. The assignment? Choose a topic that interest you and create a blog. Since I've included so many people in on my Wreck this journal journey I decided this would be a fun documentary of my year!  

I hope you enjoy and become inspired to start your own!
