Wreck This Journal: Week Two

June 12, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 27 Comments


Wreck This Journal

Yesterday I had a great post already created in my mind. I had gone out for a walk in the crazy rain and brought Wreck This Journal with me. I took great pictures of me and my journal in the rain getting soaked and when I got home, I deleted them. I have no idea why. I really forgot they were on there. I was soooooo mad when I realized what I had done. So mad in fact, I took it out on the journal this morning.

Wreck This Journal

You know I am up to no good when I put on protective eye wear and get out my Dremel tool.

Wreck This Journal

I started by gently shaving off the black ink from the cover with my light sanding tool.

Then I got really nasty taking out my drillbit and drilling a hole in the word “wreck”.

I got the more intense sanding tool out and really started to get destructive.

Now the cover has my personal touches all over the place and I feel much, much better. Having something to destroy with glee is so therapeutic! I thought that my post for this week was toast, destroyed just like my photos. But no. I came up with something even better! My anger and frustration are released and I think the journal looks pretty darn cool now. It also helped get me back in my crafts/yoga/spirituality room, something I have avoided for a while now AND I had fun going crazy. This journal is really helping me. I hope it is also helping you!

Please note that due to health problems I can only journey as far as my blog so do not feel pressured to comment but if you want to anyway, I would LOVE it!

    Something tells me there will be more rain in Nova Scotia and you can take your journal out into it then. In the meantime, good work with that dremel!
