Nice prompts @shannonmy :o)

Quick Question

The Journal is not date related, meaning the pages don't have to be dated right?

Been looking for ideas on flickr and on pinterest. This is going to be so freeing just let it all hang out type of deal how fun is that yipeee!

The journal is NOT date related. 50 pages of "wrecking"... whenever, wherever, however.

Also, about prompts - some pages it will be obvious what has happened, others will be a mystery. On some pages you may want to put on it what your "prompt" or objective was when creating that page. You could write a thin little blurb at the top/bottom or inside near the spine...or actually name your page.

But, hey, that's not a steadfast rule or anything.
Just a suggestion since this is a newbie swap.
Be creative!

More prompts:

write with your non-dominant hand
write with your toes
write or paint with your mouth
use kitchen gadgets
give your page a manicure
coffee or tea rings
tire tracks - car, truck, bike, skateboard

Let's remember to keep this sanitary! No food items (bubble gum would be food) and no bodily fluids (this includes bug fluids). The exception to the no food/liquids rule would be tea stained or kool aid stained papers. Those to me are like painting with water colors. Give ample time to dry before mailing. Thank you!

Other than that, let the glue guns, hammers and hand grenades fly!
