All I Really Need to Know

Posted on April 12, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

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?

Posted on April 12, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

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.
