Wreck this journal-Day 17

Hello. Today we have chosen this page to wreck.


I tried a pen to start off with but that wasn't very effective. So the next nearest sharp object was a pair of tweezers. Here it is.

Wreck this journal-Day 15

Day 15 gave us this page of fun.

Now I couldn't think of many ways to wear the book to be honest. But this is what I did do.

A neck warmer

A hat

A foot blanket.

If anyone else can think of any other ways to wear the journal, feel free to comment.

Wreck this journal-Day 14

Yesterday's wreck this journal page was
"Write or draw with your left hand"
Now as I'm left handed I decided it would only be fair if I did it with my right hand. So here we have it, my quite rubbish right handed picture.

Hehe. There we go. Day 14 done.
:)

Wreck this journal-day 12

Wednesday's wreck this journal page was the following.


So I did.


After crumpling it for a bit, and throwing it around and hitting it with the book, I decided to stick it back in.


Voila. Good as new. :) - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Wreck this journal-day 11

This was from Tuesday this week. I got a bit carried away and forgot to take a photo of the page before I did it. But it was "Scribble wildly, violently, with reckless abandon". I enjoyed this one, and got a bit carried away. I tore the page. Oops.


Haha. Hope you enjoyed reading. :) - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Wreck this journal. A review.

Wreck this journal-Keri Smith.



I have been following this book for nine days now, and have been asked to give some feedback on it.
This is not a journal for serious writers. It is intended as fun, and as the title suggests, to wreck it. Every page shows a different way of causing harm to the book which would usually go against most people's beliefs of treating a book.
It isn't dated, as you choose at will which page you wish to follow, and there isn't space for 'normal' journaling. You basically follow the instructions for that particular activity.

Some examples of pages within the book are;
Crack the spine.
Poke holes in this page using a pencil.
Colour this entire page.
Tear out the page and crumple it.
Close the journal. Write/scribble something on the edges.

I personally think this book is fantastic. To start off I did feel bad about the things I did to it. But now, I see it as 5 minutes of fun in a day.
You create memories by following the pages, so in that respect, is a journal. It has created a liking amongst my twitter friends who enjoy seeing what I blog each day.

I would recommend this book as a lighthearted, fun activity. It is not for serious journal writers. Anyone who wants to do something different, or likes challenges should buy it.

Wreck this journal day 8

Today's page has been left in the capable hands of my friend Jessie. I met Jessie on my first day at uni and we have been friends ever since. Jessie is just getting back into blogging and wanted something to start her off again.
So here is Jessie.

Today Tracy brought her “Wreck this Journal” into uni for me to do one of the pages- I was really excited about doing this as I have been contemplating buying one of these journals myself and now I know I will definitely be purchasing one of these soon!


The page Tracy chose for me was “hang the journal in a public place. Invite people to draw here” and I felt a bit naughty being asked to draw inside a book but it was really fun & got me through a boring lecture!



My doodles are the ones in the red biro and I didn’t really think about what I was drawing and just doodled the things I always tend to draw in lectures, typical me really- a flower and lots of stars. Sums my artistic skills up really- zero!

I really enjoyed doing this as it was something a bit silly and random but it was nice to think that I’ve made a little memory in Tracy’s journal, just one of lots we have together.

This book is definitely worth buying as it’s really good for making lots of little memories and allows you to do something a bit fun and random. It’s also a really good “outlet” as you don’t have to think too hard and for me things like this are a really good stress relief after a day of uni or doing assignments.

So thank you Tracy for allowing me to take part in “wreck this journal” and making me realise that I should definitely buy this book and I recommend it to anyone!

Thank you very much Jessie for being a star and taking part in my wreck this journal. I have a special one for you next week. :)

If you want to read more about Jessie, you can find her Here :)

Wreck this journal day 5

Today as I'm late doing this I have chosen an easy one.


There isn't really much noticeable difference.



There was an immense sense of guilty pleasure from doing this though.

Wreck this journal day 3

Today I have decided to go with this one.



I felt a bit naughty doing this to a book, as I was always brought up to look after books.
Anyway. Here is the result.



I would like to note that I didn't spit my coffee on it. Haha.
Thanks for reading.
Come back tomorrow for day 4

Wreck this journal day 1

I have decided that I will flick through the book and pick a day that I fancy doing.
This is today's.



I have sprayed the page with one of my favourite perfumes.
Secret fantasy star by Avon.

I chose this, so my book smells nice.

My new book of fun. "wreck this journal"

I bought a new book today that I was going to use from January 1st, but I am so excited that I may use it from today as it isn't dated.
I love quirky books and saw this in waterstones so had to buy it.






It is basically a blank journal where you pick random things from inside to do on a day.






I was soo excited about this that I have blogged it now. I'm going to have a proper look through now then update you with some of the random things it asks you to do.













My aim is to do something from here everyday then blog it.
Thanks for reading.
:)
