Portrait of a Wrecked Journal

I was a bad girl!

So this week at Wreck Camp...

I wrote a word over and over...
And made it fun because I didn't want to feel like I was in detention.

I was the "bad" student being defiant and writing this all over the board.
"I will continue to doodle in my book."

So THERE! :)

I ripped a page UP into shreds and then made bows with them. Pretty. Pretty.



I carelessly and gleefully stapled a page together... and doodled all over it. :)


I refused to write negative comments, but drew a picture and pointed to all my body faults.

Then blotted them out!


I have had enough of negativity. It tastes nasty and has no nutritional value.


Then, I took a pair of scissors and with a wicked grin CUT several pages!


Then, in total defiance while giggling merrily, I took a black marker and let it go all over this page while I jumped for joy!

Want to see what my fellow Wreck Camp members are up to?
Go to our Camp Councilor, Jamie Ridler's Next Chapter blog here and find out! Weeeee!

Yippee! I think I am gonna copy you and try the jumping!

And I LOVE that you whited out any negative comments - you're right, no room for negative thoughts.

(I have a thought ... what if you printed out some of the wonderful things people say about you in the comments every day and put them over where you had negative comments about your bod? Because you are gorgeous and everybody thinks so. I think you must be the most loved blogger of all time, so work it sister!)

Dear Genie,
Woohoo ! Excellent wrecking, Miss Thang ! I love the cut pages and the body drawing best today, I think. Glad you are having such a good time at camp.
Your friend,
Kim

Jump! Jump! Look and see Genie jump. I love it.Defy the concept of ugly wreckage - that's our Genie. That's the idea anyway - isn't it?? Stretching the boundaries.

OMG Genie...You are hilarious!!!
I love your idea of drawing your body...brilliant and fun!

Such creativity and with a definite underlying "teacher quality"!!

Keri Smith would be proud.

Your cut paper pages give me some ideas. :)

I like the swirly cut edge and the jumping. I bet the body image page was theraputic - I might do one of them some time!

Kaye said...

The body drawing reminded me of the game Operation! SO it made me smile - I didn't realize until I read the caption that it was the negative comment page.
