Progress so far

I have not always been great at following instructions. In fact, I havent read all the instructions as yet but decided instead (after doing three job applications) that I needed to make the journal feel like mine. Of course, I may find later on that I need to redo some of the things but we shall see.

Here are photos of what I have done-

The book calls for you to colour along the edges of the book- I alternated between a number of different colours. I think if I was doing this again I would use just two or three colours!

On these pages it explains what supplies you will need, it also tells you to number the pages. I admit that I havent actually numbered all paged and I will be decorating this page some more at some point.

The instruction page=

This is inside the front cover.

This is the front cover.

This is so far, still got loads to do just not had enough time to get it done.

Have also done the name page but not sharing that given that this is a public blog and it shows both my address and telephone number!

The beginning.

A couple of my friends have recently started doing something called "Wreck my Journal", I had seen it in the shops but hadnt really thought seriously about buying one because, well... I am not ALL that creative.

In fact, whilst I like doing creative things they usually turn out looking like something that a 5 year old will do. However, given that the whole point to "Wreck my Journal" is to wreck it there is really no worry at all that it looks like a 5 year old has done it.

I have yet to do a lot to my journal. I have had it a week and I am doing it in between job hunting, housework, laundry, emails, two other blogs, letter writing, reading and having a social life. Some things take priority over others. In fact the "wrecking" of the journal is the downtime after some application forms have been completed for jobs as its the only thing I seem capable of doing!

So the journal, on each page there is a prompt which tells you what to do. You have to follow each instruction, though it is open to your own interpretation of how that should be carried out.

Some of the instructions will scare you, the one that really scares me is the one of taking it in the shower. Bear in mind that this journal will have all your creativeness in it and that a shower visit could well ruin it.

I will be posting photos of what I have done along the way. Once I have taken photos that is!
