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.
You know I am up to no good when I put on protective eye wear and get out my Dremel tool.
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!
That’s so freaking awesome! I loved your troublemaker goggle photo! What amazing wreckage, Suzie!
I’ve never wanted a dremmel tool before but now…. hehe.

Oh my – I want a dremel tool! That looks like a LOT of fun!
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!
Now that’s what I call a proper wrecking! š
who knew that wrecking could be healing (mother henna does too)!

Awesome Suzie!! I love that you used your power tools! I haven’t done much about wrecking mine yet. I have MOVING on the brain for some reason! Yikes! š (I have managed to stick a few veggie stickers on that page!) š

You know Bob the Builder? Well, this is a more fantastic version, called Suzie the Wrecker! š
POWER TOOLS – that’s BRILLIANT!!! And I love the look on your face in the protective eyewear photo – that’s someone who is up to some SERIOUS wreckage!!
Way to go to town on the journal Suzie! WOOHOO! That is amazing!
I think you may have contributed to creating a bunch of monsters! (and i think you should have quickly purchased some shares of Dremel tool stock!) cool, cool, COOL!
