Wreck this Journal

I have been looking at all the fun people were having at Jamie's. The Next Chapter book blogging group.
This is there 5th week. And my first.

I saw how people were overcoming things and learning so much from there experience with this book. Freedom of expression. Releasing limits. Overcoming fear.

Jamie is great in her videos she encourages people to let go and live have fun.

The hardest part for me was to spend the $ money + shipping . For a book to tear up. My thoughts were, "But this is more than a book this is creativity and overcoming limits it is freedom of expression." And allot of crazy fun.

It took me 2 weeks to say "ok I'm in."

I ordered my copy not realizing I already had one in the shopping cart waiting for me to check out. LOL
Yes I have 2 of these books.

Here we go.
Were breaking all the rules of how to care for your books.
My first attempts are easy. I put it in my head this is and expensive coloring book so it is ok to write and draw in this book.
So I chose the sew it page first. LOL I have never but a needle and thread in a book before. I will leave the needle in there so I know where to find it. How cool is that.

Next adventure is draw your hands. Left hand easy. Right hand I did not do so well.
I have not used my left hand much in years. I taught my kids to use both hands to write and other things. I did not want them limited as I was as a kid. My Mom would not allow use of the left hand. And she complained that Grandson #1 was allowed to be left handed.And on the other side my daughter was stating it was ok for him to use only the left. I for years tried to get her to let him use both. As she finally realized. She is good with both.
Your mind is set free by not being limited to one way only.
You are open to more possibility's.

What my mom never knew as a kid. My friend taught me to use my feet too. .
She was born with short arms and no hands. So I learned allot from her.
I think my mom, would have hit me if she saw me do this. LOL

This page was done with my left hand to.. It is not too bad.
But I left a space to see if I can still use my feet to draw.

Now the fun begins.

I have never damaged a book on purpose.
So I twisted and broke the binding.
It's ok the book will live on !

And bent the page
I also put tabs on the pages I will do next week.
When the real destruction begins.

Do You think I can do it.
Come back next Friday and watch the fun begin.

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

Freedom

This is the topic chosen by Lynn she is hosting this weeks Thankful Thursday.

I am very thankful that we all have the freedom to believe the way we want to.
I am also thankful for all those who gave there time and life for our freedom.
I also am glad there are still some places left in America where you can do what you want on your own property.
You can express the way you feel and wear the kind of cloths you want.
Where women are no longer controlled unless they allow it to be.
We have the freedom to speak and learn.
We take allot for granted.

I am thankful I have a choice to be happy..

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.
