Nesting Newlyweds

This is a journal started on 6/21/08. Hopefully you can help me and my husband out by giving us some advice on being married. Anyone can write in this- we appreciate all views. Tell us what you wish you had known, what you ignored from others but wish you hadn’t. We want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Please keep no longer than 2 weeks, relist on bookmooch using the BM number and return to auburnkelly (bookmooch id) when it is full.

Thanks!

Entertaining the MikWright Way

I picked up this journal called “Entertaining the MikWright Way” at a local used book sale. It is an unused journal on the theme of entertaining. It features many blank lined pages, pockets, and humorous comments and advice on entertaining: “etiquette and advice,” “refreshments and stuff,” “people and stuff.” Participants are asked to add their own pictures or stories related to the topic of entertaining and partying – whether pictures of a wild party you once threw or attended; advice on do’s and don’ts…especially those learned from experience!; maybe a great party recipe or a mixed drink formula that you concocted by ‘accident’ that crazy night in college; a party theme you think might be interesting; or recollections of a party game that got a bit out of hand. Anything related to entertaining is appropriate.

All I Really Need to Know

This is an Altered Book from The BookMooch Journal Project. The book is a 1989 hardback copy of All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum. This book wants to travel the world and collect life lessons and advice from today’s readers and artists. Feel free to be creative. Use photos, ATCs, ACEOs, multimedia art, paintings, drawings, doodles, stickers, stamps, found objects, and anything else that comes to mind. Text is okay, too! Share your uncommon thoughts on common things, mantras, words to live by, and anything else you think is worthy of sharing. Works can be signed or unsigned.

At the end of this book’s journey, it should be returned to Alicia Edwards who may be reached through her account at BookMooch. (BookMooch ID: aliciaed)

I look forward to seeing the words of wisdom and images you create.

There IS one rule. After you are done adding your art, please put the journal back into this same page I’ve created for it here at BookMooch so someone else can mooch it and add to it, and when it is full, please contact me to arrange return of this treasure to me.

Amuse or Advise: Whattaya Know?

My niece is planning for college, but isn’t sure where she’ll enroll yet, or for what. I’m hoping y’all will share some of your hard-won wisdom (or whimsy) with her, a young woman leaving home for the first time- she can be a little sarcastic, but she’s a good kid, and she reads. 🙂

Maybe recommend a book, or a recipe? Or put down something encouraging, or practical information that might help her in a pinch, or a funny story or a joke? A picture or poem, or a pitch for your major (I tell her to become a librarian); the best advice you ever got, what gets you through a tough day. Anything that helped you through college, or through life . . . I rarely see her, so please help me send her off with something really cool.
