Our first meeting is October 12
The girls will be making a smash book. Basically the girls will be making their own journals. The intent of the "smash book" concept is that people don't get caught up on making the perfect journal, the perfect journal entry....rather the focus is on getting your thoughts, feeling, emotions down on paper quickly and painlessly. The "smash" part refers to quickly gluing down a souvenir from the day (ticket stub, receipt from shopping, photo, newspaper clipping, menu, etc.) and then writing/journaling about it. Girls could write, draw, glue, stickers, etc. to embellish their journals. We will provide the materials (chip board covers, assorted papers, stamping supplies). Girls will choose their papers for pages, decorate and organize. We will bind the journals with a zutter binder. Our intent will be for girls to start to journal about their brownie experience.
If you want to learn more about the smash book....feel free to google or use this youtube video on making your own version of the "smash book" like we will be doing.
