Wreck This Journal
week 6


This week was no different than all the others I've had while
Wrecking This Journal.

It was FUN!!

Along with my Vietnamese lunch of Springs rolls, shrimp,chicken,
rice noodles, fish sauce, peanut sauce, Hoison sauce,
mint, and veggies....I drizzled my tea on the Stain log page
to document my lunch.
I was afraid that the smell of the fish sauce would linger
but actually it blended nicely with the rest of the book.

It was fun also to make my white page:

I found lots of bits and bobs of ribbon and lace.
Some vintage fabric and added the definition from a word
I'd been saving for my lexicon.
Tough and persistent certainly fits this book.

I bravely gave my book over to my sister. She has been known to wreck some of my things in the past!
She did a good job on this one. Minus the dead leaves that seem to float and get stuck throughout my book.
She ripped sunbeams around the prompt and added a colorful page behind it.

Tuesday my favorite page was sent to the other Laura.
Hope she likes it.
Have you given away your favorite page?
Have you accepted the loss?

  1. Oh your white page is so pretty. And your sister is pretty good at this ... WTJ for her next birthday present perhaps?

  2. Love your new banner. I also loved the white pages. My sister never wrecked my stuff - it was always my brothers - especially John.

    Wish I could have had a Vietnamese lunch with you.

    XOXO,

    Julie

  3. Your banner picture is gorgeous! Top tip for the smelly stains - fresh mint seems to keep its smell much more than Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce and smells much nicer! And now I could just drink a cup of refreshing jasmine tea! Lovely white page - very peaceful looking

  8. You know - it wasn't hard to give away this page as I sent the blot - so had it's twin. I also knew I was getting something special in return.

  15. The stain log is fabulous! It sounds like you had a bunch of different items to work with in that meal. The page your sister did looks nice too.

  16. Ahhh the stain log! Good for you - I haven't done that page yet. Your white page is great!

    I have sent out one of my favorite pages to another wrecker. The wrecker that I was paired with by Jamie has asked for an additional week, so that isn't accomplished yet.
