let the wreckage reign

there is a slightly good feeling to being destructive; especially if that is what the instructions tell you to do isn't there? i always like the destruction- i like hoping to find something totally cool underneath exterior- hiding it. i also like knowing, that if i don't want to follow the instructions i can do what i want....and that is ok; maybe, hopefully, even expected- the whole, "not following the instructions" thing...anyway, i have been having a really good time wrecking my journal! being creative, and carefree, and destructive- in a good way. sometimes the wrecking is the best part; (only you don't know it yet)- you have layered, and pasted, and layered some more, only to find that you spilled on something it wrecking it- you think, destroying it; but, as you clean it up, layers come off, and other things peek through, and when you are done with all the clean up from your destruction, you have something that is really cool because you would have NEVER thought to do that, and yet- you totally love the finished product.

my hope is that everyone participating in this journey can find that totally wreckless abandonment, to find their something that they totally love in the end.

calm among the wreckage

there has been alot of "wreckage" going on.....totally fun! even my kids think it is cool- they have "helped" with some of the wreckage. i may have to get them their own journals yet! i did take a break from the wreckage though and whip up a gift for a friend of mine who has moved to town; she is having a house warming party tonight. what could be better than friends, food, and a few gifts?
ok- this is where you get a little true flash of me...not only will my picture not stay rotated to post correctly and that is totally the one i want to publish, i took the picture before my matte medium was dry- so you can see these nice blobs holding onto my glass- perfect! watch how i don't care now and publish it anyway......
