Wreck this Journal inspired by Keri Smith. Why buy the book when we can just make our own?
STEP ONE - Buy a composition book type of journal..this is necessary for one of the entries
STEP TWO - HAVE FUN with the entries! REMEMBER...to create is to destroy.
Each entry is on one page..or take two..it is your journal that you are going to wreck and then mail off for someone else to enjoy and hopefully have a peek into your thoughts and creative process.
