So there have been a lot of comments on my journal like, "it's supposed to be this" or "you're
supposed to do this." Honestly, this book is whatever you want it to be. Many of you think "I did
it wrong" because I used an artsy approach, but that is not true. In the beginning of the book it
says,"Instructions are open to interpretation." That basically means that you can do what you
want. If you didn't notice, I DID follow every instruction, maybe just not in the obvious way. I had a lot of fun doing this, I DID NOT COPY ANYONE ELSE'S IDEAS and this is the way that I wanted to do it. It annoys me to see people saying that this is wrong or it's not the way it should be because I really enjoyed this and it means a lot to me. Some people also like to say,"This book is for people who need to release anger or stress and allows them to take it out on the book." Well, I am not a very angry person and THIS is the way I relieve stress. By drawing and creating, not by just punching or destroying. ANYWAY, there have been dozens of positive comments, so thank you so much for those! I just thought I should explain myself because I am getting annoyed at the same negative comment over and over.

FAQs
1.) How did you keep the markers from bleeding through the page?
for all of the materials I used, I tested them first on the paper to see if they bled through...if they did I wouldn't use them because I can't stand when stuff bleeds through. I mainly stuck to colored pencils for that reason.
2.) What did you use on the cover?
I bought the "duct tape" version, which has a light gray cover, so I just drew stripes right on there with sharpie markers.
3.) Did you get your ideas off of tumblr?
NOO! haha I don't even have a tumblr. I did look at a lot of journals, BUT I wanted to have all my original ideas in there, so I would google a page AFTER I did it, so I wasn't tempted to copy it :)
4.) Where can I get one?
Barnes and Noble, Borders, or my personal favorite AMAZON.COM :)
5.) What drawing materials did you use?
Mostly colored pencils (all different brands) and black pen (for outlines), but occasionally I used "super tip" markers (Crayola), soft pastels which are kind of like chalk, great for soft backgrounds (Artist's Loft), Watercolors (Crayola and Artist's Loft) and Acrylic Paint (Reeves).
6.)What is the shiny covering you put on some of the pages?
I just put regular packing tape over some of the pages to protect them
7.)How did you add those extra pages in?
I fold regular printer paper in half. then I put a thin line of glue on the crease. Then I shoved it into the book and held it there for about a minute. Then trimmed away the excess.
ALSO. A lot of people think that this is the same journal in my series...it's not!
