What’s Your Top 3?

Posted on April 16, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

The idea came from a game played by co-workers to help pass the time while working. One worker would say ‘top 3 ____’ and another would answer with his/her top 3 then say ‘what do you got?’ and the creator of the list would list his/her top 3.

For the journal project, here is how it will work
1. READ – the top 3 list of the last entry

2. RESPOND – to that topic with your top 3
-Please don’t flame the previous person if you don’t agree.
-You might want to email the last user with your response.

3. CREATE – your own topic and your top 3 (or bottom 3, or best 3, or worst 3 etc.) 3 for it.
-Please make a list that is subjective
-Have fun! Add as much or as little art work to prove your point.
-Use count down; list #3, #2, and your #1.
-When the book is mooched from you, please email your topic to the next moocher. This will give them time to compose a response to your top 3.
-Feel free to list a FEW honorable mentions

When full please contact me ID- nedbudge.

-Todd

The Little Book of Surprising Strangers

Posted on April 16, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

This journal is a challenge. I would like you to (pleasantly) surprise one (or more!) random strangers in a public place.

Maybe the older lady in front of you at the cinema has really beautiful eyes- tap her on the shoulder and share your compliment. Someone sitting on a park bench reading a book? Buy them a coke and wish them a good day. This challenge is limited only by your imagination- you could say it’s a Little Book that hopes to inspire some good deeds, keeping in mind that brightening someone’s day by complimenting their outfit can brighten their day and surprise them so much that it can counteract a supremely bad day.

You can write about your experience and as always feel free to even draw something to illustrate it, but personally I got the people I approached to write a little line in the book, simply explaining that the journal was a project I was working on, but not its connection to my random comment/act.

When full, please return to Snofferol.

The Chocolate Box

Posted on April 16, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

This gorgeous little cerise pink book is dedicated to chocolate. Chocolate recipes, wrappings, quotes, and anything chocolate inspired – poems, stories, art, all “chocolate-box pretty”. Think girly but glorious, delectable, decadent and divine. This is not a box of chocolates to be enjoyed in your jim-jams, crying over your favourite chick flick on the sofa. This is the type you indulge in while soaking in a candle-lit bath of something rose-scented and expensive.

If you need inspiration, I’ve included my favourite hot chocolate recipe to get you in the mood. Sit back, relax, and dip into The Chocolate Box…

The Spider Sketchbook

Posted on April 16, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

Part art project, part nature journal and for some of you, part therapy, this book may require you to be very brave indeed. If you are still interested, read on… It’s simple – find one spider, capture it, draw it, try to identify it, and then release it. To carry out this task you will have to really LOOK at your spider. Visit your local library or use the internet for tips on catching spiders and identifying them. You will be amazed at the variety and beauty of spiders (I hope!), and you may learn to overcome a long held fear. And none of this “I can’t draw” nonsense! If you can hold a pencil, you can draw. I didn’t know I could draw until I started my spider notebook. The aim is to observe your spider well enough to sketch it and note its features. Use pen, pencil, pastels or paints. I’ve included some of my own sketches to get you started and to introduce you to some of my favourites, such as the spitting spider, a slow moving creature which pins down its prey with a zig-zagged jet of sticky glue, and the almost day-glo green, orb-web spinning cucumber spider. Any takers? (If you can’t face it but you know someone who’ll give it a go, mooch it for them). -Laura
