Alexandra's Wreck Journal: Part 5

Woohoo! Look what I got in the mail yesterday!


Andy filled out a few pages, and sent my Wreck Journal right on back to me. I'll be honest, I was going through withdrawals (more Andy withdrawals than Wreck Journal).


1. Tape This Journal Closed. Mail It To Yourself. Andy did the honors, and mailed it home in this fashion. I hope this made a few people smile on the way.
2. Scribble Wildly, Violently, With Reckless Abandon. I am positive Andy used one of his precious pens to scribble on this page. He is one of the few people I know who have this obsession with owning a million of only one model of pen. I'm the type of person that as long as it's black or red ink, and it works, I'll use it.
3. Tear Out. Crumple. I like the journal entries that have dimension to them, because when I close my Wreck Journal and look at the edges, it looks worn.


Thank you Andy, for helping me destroy my journal a little more! See you in less than 6.

Question of the blog:
Tonight, I made a quick detour to Save Mart and bought some M&M cookies, which are the best. What is your favorite type of cookie?

Alexandra's Wreck Journal: Part 4

These last couple pages were pretty fun. I chose some cool projects before doing the latest page.. Come see!

A page for four-letter words. I spent so long doing this page! I got about half way done with the list, but then had to start opening bible pages and homework lectures to see if I could find any more words with four letters. I'll be honest, when I went to bed later that night, I could not stop thinking of four letter words! haha!

Tear strips. Rip it up! This one was fun, until it was ripped, and then all of the strips were curled up and the page wouldn't close. So I thought, I haven't weaved in a while.. You see, I used to weave pages all the time. I would make cards for people out of weaved papers, and then I moved onto cranes, and now I'm sort of not doing either. So I decided to weave this page after ripping up strips of it.

Make a sudden, destructive, unpredictable movement with the journal. At first I was thinking, I'm sitting at my desk. I could just throw it at my bookshelf to the left of me.. But then I realized that I have frames over there, and that's too predictable. So, I stuffed it into a little going away package for Andy, and told him to fill out a few pages and send it back. Sounds sudden, destructive, and unpredictable enough for me!
See you soon, little journal. We could call you Journey the Journal!

If any of you are new here, and have no clue what this is, head on over to my first journal posting.

Question of the blog:
Tell me the first four four-letter words you think of.

Alexandra's Wreck Journal: Part 3

Another addition to my Wreck Journal.



Bubble gum and hole punches, pages 4 and 5


Question of the blog:
What was your favorite type of bubble gum as a kid? I loved (and still love) the bubble gum balls from the machine, and the zebra stripe bubble gum was the best because you got those awesome tattoos!

Alexandra's Wreck Journal: Part 2

Here is from day one and two. The instructions say to not fill this journal in any particular order, and also said to number the pages as you wish. So my page numbers go with the entries.

Page one: Fill this page with circles. Big ones and little ones, all connected. Come Unity.

Page one: Draw with GLUE. & glitter! For effect. That and the glue did absolutely nothing. I had to add some flavor!

Page three: SCRATCH using a sharp object. 1) clippers 2) usb port 3) pin
Also- this font from the page reminds me of something from long ago... Was it the font for Cat Dog or something? Let me know if you can figure it out.

Question of the blog:
When I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to watch a few shows. More like, I was banned from ever watching those shows from my parents. Pinky and the Brain, Cat Dog, etc. Were you ever banned from watching a tv show as a kid?
