Wreck this Journal, Week 4

Still making pretty things, I drew a picture on the cover.

Even my ugly drawing turned out kinda pretty.

Since there were so many photographs of the wrecking I've been doing this week, I made a slide show. I don't know how to do anything video-fancy, though I have been inspired by some other folks' great videos to learn, so this is just a silent slide show...

I bought the girls each their own copy,
and their way of saying the title, Wreck This Journal,
rechristened mine, Wreckless Journal. I like it.

I love how different both girls are. The 8yo, as we left the store, kept saying, "I can't crack the spine. I don't want to wreck this book." Meanwhile, the 6yo was taking every opportunity to toss it and flap it.

Here's the 6yo drawing with her pet worm.

Here are both girls playing with cocoa.

The 6yo gleefully adding some jam.

I am still attached to this little book that I bring everywhere. We are having so much fun together. I have made a lot of art and a lot of mess, and I have been using it as a journal. I did tear out some of the things that I had been keeping attached like the airplane and crumple pages, but I made a little pocket in the back and stuck them in there, along with some other things I've torn out. I decided to stop keeping track of the order that I've finished pages because that got too boring. Wrecking with the girls has also brought out the crayons for me, so I have colored over many pages.



This is definitely a fun summer project for our whole family.
