The Golden Opportunity

Grizzly bears, granite boulders a hundred feet wide, cascading waterfalls and a wild car chase around twisting mountain roads are only a few of the perils awaiting you as you complete your mission
Cryptic messages, such as, “The star of poverty shines on the enlightened, who flee the darkness of cultured night” may be your only guide…

Your mission will be determined by the agent before you. He or she will provide a task that you must complete, come hell or high water, be you seeking a lost doll, an obscure candy bar, or a missing gypsy taxidermist. You are required to attempt to perform what you are instructed, thoroughly and completely. Do not half-ass this; give it your all. Life or death may depend on it!

As you work through your mission to the best of your ability or when you complete it, debrief us. Provide a written report of what you did and how it went about, and back it up with any physical evidence that you can! After your mission, devise the mission for the next agent, and send it on.
It is time for action!

Fat Girls/Living Large (Birthday Books Vol 18 of 41)

Zaftig? Rubenesque? Phat! Fat and Fabulous. Fat and sexy. Fat and happy. Fat and healthy. If this concept confuses you, this book is NOT for you. Fat-positive art only. Love your body. When the pages of this journal are filled, please return it to bookmooch user: zenfish. Thank you.

RE: Birthday Books vol 1-41. I was very excited to read about the bookmooch journal project as I usually celebrate my birthday with art/performance art madness related to the number in question. In August I will be a delightful 41 years wild. I have purchased 41 blank journals and am giving each individual themes. When all the wayward art has winged its way home to me, I look forward to a local celebration to share and enjoy these books with friends.

Scary Clowns

This is a passalong journal created by my 10 year old nephew Kaylan. My two nephews were over one day & saw the journals I was working on & they got excited about it and wanted to start their own. The topic of this journal is Scary Clowns, but all types of clowns are scary to Kaylan (he LOVES horror movies) so all types of clowns or clowns stories are welcome. Please no adult content since this is for a 10 year old but please help him fill up his book! Feel free to use as many pages as you would like and pass it around to your family and friends. When full please return to me, BookMooch ID: mspeegle.
