Wreck a Journal (International)

Thanks to @melzenitram for allowing me to make an international version of her swap. She has a USA only one running if you are interested.

Moving on... Lets have fun with this!

Step One: buy a composition type journal, the sturdier the better. Step Two: Have fun with the entries, remember to CREATE AND DESTROY!!

Each entry must be at least one page, please do all of the items listed below, not neccessarley in order, and more than one theme can be applied to the pages. You will create a journal, wreck it, and send it out to your partner... so they can enjoy and hopefully have a peak into your thoughts and creative process. CARRY IT EVERYWHERE...experiment, follow the directions.

This is not for the squeemish. These journals will be DIRTY, and messy.

Themes:
