Ive got this book WRECK THIS JOURNAL
You do what the instructions say inside
It frees you up artistically.
Takes you out of your comfort zone.
I'm giving mine a tartan theme, but you don't need a theme just go along with what the pages say.
Have a look at what Cornwall based Textile Artist Carolyn Saxby is doing with hers, its fabulous
Then come back and have a look at what other people are upto this week
over on Julia's blog - What's on your workdesk Wednesday
I started to 'wreck a journal' ages ago - still have it somewhere, lol! hope you enjoy it.Your table looks very clean and tidy today. Helen #1
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun activity....it's good for us all to move outside our comfort zone from time to time. That's how we grow in our skills. :-)

ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Your journal is looking great so far, despite you trying to wreck it! I love the tartan theme and look forward to seeing your destructive streak coming to the fore!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and Carolyn are having loads of fun with your journals. x Jo

Your creative space is so pleasant to look at (and be in I'm sure). I enjoyed the long view look so I could see your space. Wreck this journal sounds fun, after all it gives you permission! Judy #69
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely craft room you have! Beautiful! Must be a joy to work in. I love the glass table.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of the book 'Wreck this book' and had to google it. I can't imagin any wrecking going on in that beautiful craft room of yours....
Have a good week,
Lisca#38

I have done a couple of SMASH journals, and they are such fun and freeing as well. A year ago I couldn't seem to make a mark on the page, and now, well, yippee. Happy WOYWW. Appreciatively, Pat #71
ReplyDeleteYour space looks very peaceful and inviting (and I would very much like a piece of what looks to be lemon pound cake in your blog header photo.) Happy WOYWW!!! ~ Laura #53
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, I don't need a book to wreck a journal Lol! I manage that all on my own. However it does sound interesting. Love the look of your work area, looks very cosy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and happy craftinf, Angela x 37
What a fun journal! I can see how it can help you overcome your inhibitions. Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #27
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a wreck journal before, what a great idea. Yours look fabulous, I love the tartan idea.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

Is that last photo of your craft room? It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I would make a good job of that journal but you seem to be doing fine - must go and follow the link and see another perspective.
Keep going in yours - tartan is fab!
Hugs, Neet 28 (late again I know)
Just love the tidy and cosy yet airy space you've made to work in...makes me want to create straight away! I've coveted a wreck it journal for a good couple of years...but have been too scared !!!
ReplyDeleteJust dive right in there Julia
DeleteAs someone who (was born in England but in love with Scotland) swear she has a tartan heart - I love your theme :) Have had to come back this morning as you set me off on a chain of blog hopping last night when I clicked your Carolyn Saxby link. Remembered this morning to come back and comment on YOURS! I keep looking at those wreck Your Journals - I love what you are doing with yours.
