Description:

Recently I saw a how to book on Wrecking a journal. Well I've been doing that to a degree and it is fun. BTW I did not buy the book. Find a hardback book to use. I use discarded ones from the school library. Glue and rip and sew and embellish with ink, paint, markers and stuff to your heart's content. Find a book that is about novel size and be aware that when you finish it will not close flat. You should have 10 -12 pages embellished in it. Glue pages together for thicker background. Start now. You will have one partner.

Please do not eat over your book as it just isn't nice! Bugs like it. The how to book made that suggestion. But Don't do it! Bugs, you know.

Ewe. Eating over a book. Oh, and I find lots of neat books to alter at the thrift shop!

Just don't forget! I do that, sometimes. Forget things, I mean.

Speaking of forgetting, I found a great book to alter last week while I was at the thrift shop. Where is it now? I can't remember. I am sure I set it down somewhere and told myself if I put it ?here? I won't lose it.

At least you brought it home! Right? You did bring it home!?

grimmlynn 01/26/2010 #

I did. I bought it. I brought it home. I put it.....somewhere. LOL.

See that commercial where the cat brings in the bloodhound? Desperate times=desperate measures!!

LOL! I found it, but then I realized I need to spend some time organizing before I commit to more swaps or else I would join this one. I might need a Hoarders Intervention. :-)
