Wreck this journal - week 7

Posted by
I received Bev's splatter page!! I really enjoyed being part of the swap and will be adding this page to my journal:

I brought my journal outside a few days ago and the neighborhood kids loved looking through the whole thing! I told them they could do some of the wrecking too and they loved every minute of it.

I didn't take photos of the kids, but here are a few of the pages they worked on.

They also took turns throwing it against the brick wall. It was a ton of fun for everyone!
(I do wonder what stories they told their parents when they got home...!!)

One girl even wrapped it in toilet paper, and I had to wait 2 days to unwrap it!

Adrienne and I had fun smearing some of our breakfast on this page! Peanut butter, nutella, banana, and a bit of berry juice!

I started working on the stain log, added a little bit of my daughter's chewy candy, which ended up sticking really good to the other page and ripping a bit of it.

    The toilet paper wrap- how mean! Waiting two days, being seperated from the journal- oh no!

    The toilet paper, with the reminder to wait, is priceless. I think you gave the neighborhood kids a real summer memory.

    Your journal is nice and plump. Lovely.

    That splatter page totally rocks. What a great swap!

    And how fun to have the kids add their own take. The toilet paper wrapping is inspired!

    Your journal is really feeling the love!

    The toilet paper with the instructions to wait 2 days to unwrap was perfect! At least you didn't have to wait until the holidays. Sounds like you and the kids had fun.

    Great to involve the neighborhood kids. But how did you wait for two days to unwrap it!?
